Business Intelligence, reporting, data integration, ETL, data migration - everything is handled within one unified platform and highly scalable solution.
WebFOCUS goes beyond just dashboards. It's also used for operational reporting, making it crucial for mission-critical systems. In fact, a core strength is that it's not "just" a BI tool; it can be used to build complete applications. It is the best tool because of its all-in-one nature. Data integration, ETL, data migration, everything is handled within the same platform. Then, on the front end, it offers portals, reporting, distributed analysis, and more. For customers who have data in the right structure and right format, the WebFOCUS Designer tool is very powerful. It allows them to create self-service reporting applications.

Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance.
Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice.  The MDX IDE is fabulous. They respond quickly and responsibly to support requests.  New features in the reporting module…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a great BI product and an excellent roadmap and vision."
"Information Builders allows decision makers to harness the power of data to make strategic decisions that will advance the goals and objectives of the organization."
"All features are very helpful and easy to use, and end users can see their data in more meaningful ways."
"Overall it is a user-friendly and powerful solution."
"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."
"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."
"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice."
 

Cons

"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
"More access via end users without using reporting objects. Easy way to create charts and graphs for reporting to executive staff."
"It's too complex to setup the security features."
"If IBI can make each release of WebFOCUS consistent, we don't have to make changes for each release, it will be very helpful."
"The interface can be more user-friendly, learning the product via a classroom format."
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
"It would be nice to have it easier to embed native SQL. Release process in our set up is not the safest since it requires changing paths."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
"As with many products, the documentation is light in some areas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with ten being expensive."
