Powerful and Potent BI Data Harnessing Software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Since its straightforward, fuss-free implementation and inception at the company, InetSoft Style

Intelligence has proven to be a very useful tool for cumulating and assimilating data from various sources and formats and placing it in one convenient place (table, dashboard, report etc). We hardly had to train our people,

as they learned most of the application by using it on a single ‘Training Day’, but, nonetheless the after-sales support for the company has been tremendous and they are easy to get hold of. Data can be accessed in historic and up-to-date views. The data is then simple to interrogate and with an intuitive and 'clean' graphical interface, the data is

displayed in easy-to-read and discernible tables. I love the fact that the software caters for the novice to the expert, thereby making functionality and operability less daunting. We can view a multitude of data in this way and

we've found it easy to create bespoke dashboards that we can change on a regular basis. Management have been particularly enamored with the ease, sophistication and versatility provided to create reports, and to use a ‘slice and dice’ approach for them. There’s so much more to come and we look forward to harnessing the full benefits and potential of the software over the next 12 months.

Pros

  • Aggregates and assimilates data into simple and easy-to-read and discernible tables, reports etc.
  • Supreme visual representation on bespoke dashboards
  • Simple and pain-free implementation and inception at our company
  • Well thought out and executed functionality that allows novice and expert users to use the tool with equal satisfaction

Cons

  • I think the user interface is in need of an upgrade, as its starting to show it's age a little. It looks like it needs a rehaul in the department.
  • Hopefully, the company can grow and then have more frequent interactions with their customers.
  • I am slightly wary that support may not have the same proficiency at the very highest level, as my company reaches the expert user level.

Most Important Features

  • Simplicity and ease of operation
  • Ability to converge various data formats into one single entity (for the purposes of interogation and data analysis).
  • Intuitive bespoke dashbaord design with a 'slice and dice' approach

Return on Investment

  • Reduction in excessive space for data storage repositories
  • Faster time to analyse data and metadata. Quicker to reach objective analysis
  • Conclusive informational reporting

Top-notch dashboard and reporting tool that offers good value for money

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a growth analytics and market insights specialist, I work with data every day and it is my mandate to consolidate, democratize, and visualize data in order to push forward data centricity within the organization. I have used InetSoft as a tool to achieve this mandate.

Pros

  • Easy to use with a very user-friendly interface, making onboarding with the tool a lot easier.
  • Able to mash up/integrate data from different sources and file types which helps a lot with consolidation.
  • Good customer service/support that makes solving problems/issues a lot faster.

Cons

  • I think it can improve more in making the tool easier for people with no background in programming languages like javascript and sql. This will further widen its user base and give power to people with different backgrounds to utilize the tool even better
  • There are occasional bugs/errors that i encountered, but live chat/customer support helps
  • Can also further improve on data visualization- widening range of chart types and customization

Most Important Features

  • #1 would definitely be the ability to get and integrate data from different sources. No more conversion needed.
  • Having a great layout and user friendly interface is also very important as it drives ease not only for admins/creators of dashboards but also for users/viewers
  • Live chat support is also very important especially for new users

Return on Investment

  • Since InetSoft has helped in creating dashboards/reports, it has made easier access to data across the organization
  • This makes decision making processes a lot faster and efficient
  • Tracking and monitoring not only our own performance, but of competitors is also a positive impact brought about by this tool
