What is Logi Info?
Logi Info (or the Logi Analytics Platform) is a developer-grade analytics platform designed for application teams needing to rapidly build, deploy, and maintain mission-critical applications. Logi serves the embedded model, so companies increase the
likelihood of building valuable, long lasting applications. The vendor focuses on enriching embedded analytics
capabilities so that their customers' applications become more valuable, faster. According to the vendor, Logi allows customers to leverage their existing data and infrastructure
combined with new ways to author visualizations and query data.
Logi is designed for application owners who have struggled to build/maintain a solution which can scale to meet the ever evolving analytical requirements of end-users, and recognize the limitation of turnkey analytics that offer no opportunity for differentiation.

Logi Info (Logi Analytics Platform) is a mixed bag, so go in with eyes open about what type of product it actually is
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our company uses Logi Info (Logi Analytics Platform) to provide dashboards, reports, embedded visualisations, and help customers make their own self-service reporting. We primarily use two products in the Logi Analytics suite, Logi Info and Logi Composer. Logi Info is a web-app builder with XML-based config files and a series of visualisation widgets. We embed these Logi Info items into our core application, primarily with iframes. Logi Composer is a more traditional BI style app where you make dashboards, reports, schedule reports, etc. - in this case, it is a separate portal/site for our customers to use.
Pros
- Fast visualisation
- Scheduled reporting
- Putting user-specific custom variables into connection strings or queries to have individual reports tailor to many specific circumstances
Cons
- Logi Info (Logi Analytics Platform) is NOT a BI tool, and there's a big misapprehension in many places that it is. Instead, it is a tool for making IIS-based web applications that happens to provide a series of BI-related widgets. It's not user-friendly, not intuitive, not awesome, and still needs a web developer to make CSS, JavaScript, and all kinds of things.
- Logi Composer offers multiple 'accounts' to partition customer accounts and customer-created reports, BUT all the reports, visuals, data sources, and other items we make are account-bound too. So if we have a standard library of reports we have to either duplicate them for every account (and keep them updated), or we have to have all customers in one account and maintain permissions to hide their reports from each other.
- Logi Analytics recently acquired another company / BI tool but don't package it as part of Logi Symphony - instead they want an extra fee if you're interested in checking it out.
- While Logi Composer allows you to create custom visualisations, the tutorials online are out of date and still refer to ZoomData, the company Logi acquired which became Logi Composer.
Return on Investment
- Logi Info (Logi Analytics Platform) helped the company embed visualisations into a core app, separating that functionality from the core dev team to a specialised team of BI people (who had to then learn/do front-end web dev to make Logi Info look ok)
- Logi Composer instead was a much better experience, allowing us to provide a full-featured customer-facing BI portal where users can rapidly create and schedule reports and dashboards

Logi Analytics: good, but going down because of poor support model
Pros
- Charts, graphs, data tables.
- A nice tool to organize, filter and analyze the tons of data that we have
- Graphic user interface makes programming applications pretty easy
Cons
- Support. Logi used to provide EXCELLENT support. However, they've changed their support model and no longer provide excellent help. I used to get problems resolved within 15-30 minutes. Now, it has gone down to 48 hour response time just to answer a simple question. In-depth questions can go on for days or weeks.
- Based upon the change in support, and the fact that we pay for 'unlimited phone support' in our annual contract, we are moving away from using LOGI as a tool for the future.
- Learning CSS and Javascript would make you a better LOGI developer.
Return on Investment
- Our Chief Operations Officer has commented several times about how important LOGI has been in identifying opportunities for us to work on, and key areas to focus on to improve revenue generation
- We have used LOGI to automate work processes that used to be paper-based.
- We've filled in holes in work processes, and freed up work hours allowing people to focus on more important daily tasks.

- Logi helps us internally to understand how our customers are using our system and gaining value.
Alternatives Considered

Deliver powerful capabilities in a very short time frame.
Pros
- Very quick to create, deploy, and modify content - we were up and running with a usable product in a matter of months from the time we first got our hands on the Logi development tool.
- Loads of built in capabilities - the number of modifiable elements is nearly endless, and with some expertise in javascript and html it truly can do just about anything.
- Easy to embed and integrate - using custom fonts/css has made the application built entirely with Logi Analytics look like our own native product.
Cons
- Slight disconnect between professional services and support - support often tells us something is not possible, professional services makes the impossible possible, but then support is unable to offer troubleshooting and advice due to the changes made.
- Allow for easier integration with advanced charts i.e. maps, D3, etc.
- More theme options - the Theme Editor is great but could be expanded to offer additional styling without needing as much css expertise.
Return on Investment
- Customer feedback has been overwhelming with regard to the intuitiveness of the application.
- End users are able to quickly gain insights in minutes about data that previously would have required hours or even days to generate and compare multiple reports.
