Quick formatting and sort options, easy aggregation, fast loading. Supports lots of formats for data export. A real software Swiss Army knife for reporting. > > **Cons**: The search functionality could be improved a little bit to be more keyword based than literal. > > No longer spending ages writing reports in Visual Studio based on SQL views. Can leverage old views in Informer and connect in directly to database as well. I've only crashed it once running a rogue query, it is very dependable. ----- ### "Best Tool as an Advisor\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michele** | *10 October 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved the fact that this system allowed you to pull extremely detailed reports in a matter of minutes. > > **Cons**: The cons are that the reporting does take a while to load, which can be frustrating. However, it is much better than manual tracking\! > > Informer provided me with amazing data as an Academic Advisor. It really made my job much more simple. ----- ### "All system data can be collected and therefore summarized and analyzed with Informer\! Fantastic\!" — 4.0/5 > **Robin** | *11 July 2017* > > **Pros**: Once a custom report is written, a user can copy and edit the report to suit different needs. You aren't constantly having to start from scratch with building a report. Informer has been a great tool for fundraising for my organization. > > **Cons**: I would like to see the geographics be a little more at a macro level--down to counties and cities. ----- ### "I don't know how I ran a company without it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Camille** | *2 October 2020* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's versatility is second to none, allowing us to capture countless metrics and data for any aspect of our business. > > **Cons**: It can be overwhelming getting started, but its ease of use comes quickly and it's well worth the learning curve\! ----- ### "Great product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Logan** | *2 October 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy product to integrate and use. I enjoy the ability to use datasets\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes, the fields have to be deleted and re-entered for use in some reports. > > Deployed with Informer 4 and upgraded to Informer 5.
