Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Informer has been one of the best purchases we have made."
"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."

Cons

"More integration with MS Office, better description of the fields and where and how they are used."
"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 use of computer columns created locally will not work in the logic but does work in the reports columns."

"I would like to see further development on customizability options in the dashboard module."
