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.

Cost effective with great capability, performance, flexibility and visuals
In general, we're happy with the solution but we're always looking to see what else is out there. The thing we've struggled with is our partnership with Tagetik UK, the consultants, and the issue we had gaining access to consultants to develop the solution on our behalf. Thankfully we connected directly with XLCubed and now have a pretty close and good relationship with them so the earlier problem we had of actually getting resources to help us develop has now been solved. One of the things that we've been asking for and would like as an additional feature is a sort of benchmarking functionality. The ability to be able to benchmark, directly against the company digital corporate numbers. That said, there seems to be improved functionality within the latest release that could help us develop that further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use informer constantly; it is integral, it is vital, it is invaluable."
"I think the analytics are great."
"The return on investment is immeasurable, as we have empowered more employees than ever with report creation and our faculty are very excited to be able to manage and gather data previously unavailable to them to help guide their decisions."
"Customer Service: The customer service is great any issue is resolved in a timely fashion."
"The live excel function has been our most valuable as we can push out reports that program people can run anytime they want."
"Entrinsik Informer is a great solution."
"Informer allowed the IT department to focus on other systems instead of retrieving the data."
"Informer has been one of the best purchases we have made."
"I am looking forward to testing their full graphics that are available, as they looked very interesting in the demo."
"The solution has great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, everything, and we also have a very good relationship with the consultants and the solution is also very cost effective."
 

Cons

"The use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."
"I would like to be able to use fields from third file links which is right now limited and difficult."
"More tutorials and free training would be great."
"You have to know Java scripting for getting over hurdles. I wish it was more user friendly out of the box."
"I wish there was a cron expression for bi-weekly. This becomes problematic with payroll audits."
"While not as robust as other platform/systems, informer could continue to expand its offerings in their dashboard offerings."
"The big issue for us is that there is no way to cancel a report from the browser."
"My initial learning was a little rough."
"At this time, I cannot recommend this solution to others because I cannot connect."
"It's quite a stable solution although we sometimes encounter issues internally within our IT department with regard to the structure."
"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."
"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
