Informer empowers end-users with the tools to retrieve their data quickly and efficiently
Customer Service: Excellent. Every case I've opened with them, or phone call I have had have been more than helpful. It is clear they care both about my needs as a customer and their product. Technical Support: Excellent. Each question I've asked, intelligent or not, has been met with the same level of professionalism and expertise. I always feel they will come to some resolution if possible and they do.
Useful for business reports and helps to drill down accounting information
The tool's most valuable feature is table creation. One of the most important capabilities is the supplier assessment reports. These reports provide a balance during transactions, which is crucial for auditing. This feature is not standard in other ERP systems, making it highly valuable. The solution helps to drill down details from sources like payables and inventory, which the accounting department requires.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once I became more familiar with the data and Java Script, I was able to build very nice reports."
"Entrinsik Informer is a great solution."
"The user friendly aspect of the interface and flexibility of usage."
"We are using it for reporting purposes which is working much better than selecting from column prompt."
"I appreciate the scheduling, saving, quick launch and ease of sharing of reports."
"Normally programs can take as long as 6 weeks during its review and approval of new release packages to the colleges, and the Informer product allows the easy flow in the approval process, especially with the incorporation of the Import and Export Packaging feature, which allows for a developer within one environment to share their reports to other developers in a different mapping of files and fields environment, saving time and the possibility of errors during conversion."
"The live excel function has been our most valuable as we can push out reports that program people can run anytime they want."
"I think the analytics are great."
"The tool's most valuable feature is table creation. One of the most important capabilities is the supplier assessment reports. These reports provide a balance during transactions, which is crucial for auditing."
"Discoverer has been very stable and we've had no real issues."
 

Cons

"We would like the ability to generate a report using multiple datasources."
"I wish there was a cron expression for bi-weekly. This becomes problematic with payroll audits."
"I would like to see further development on customizability options in the dashboard module."
"More integration with MS Office, better description of the fields and where and how they are used."
"More tutorials and free training would be great."
"The security features are a bit ubiquitous. I appreciate the vast levels of security, but it can be a bit overwhelming in trying to set up."
"Sometimes we think Informer is running slowly, but I suspect that has more to do with how we have it installed at our institution."
"The big issue for us is that there is no way to cancel a report from the browser."
"They need to try to develop reports to tie different tables together. Currently, to pull the data into one nice, neat report takes a more advanced technically minded person to develop."
"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer needs to improve its performance and HTML reports."
