InetSoft Style Intelligence Reviews

1. The data mashup technology and the worksheets that give end users Excel like interface to browse their data.

2. The architecture which is open to easy integrations with other modules. It is designed in that way that we also decided to localize it to Polish langauge. Additionally we managed to integrate it with our own Map Module.

3. Perfect communication with the product manager and the support.

Looking from a few years of using it in my company, which is a software house I could say that this is an enterprise solution which might be purchased in relatively accepted price.

I cannot think of any drawback. Of cause every platform of this kind has its strengts and weeknesses. But from experience I know that all the problems we encountered were successfully solved with the support.

Worth trying.

We design and deploy Data Warehouse systems. Style Intelligence is our BI platform. Firstly we choose it over Oracle solution due to great data mashup technology. Now we look at it as a first choice BI platform for our future projects. It gave us several possibilities comparing its price and functionality.

The product is very easy to use and is definitely one of the more mature solutions on the market. The training videos combined with the already easy to use interface made getting up and running on the platform a breeze. Our team has been able to create very sophisticated dashboards and reports much faster than we had expected. This confirmed that we made the right decision in purchasing Style Intelligence over other more flashy solutions.

We haven't discovered anything that we dislike yet.

When looking at different business intelligence tools, make sure to evaluate the administration of the tool, the completeness of documentation and online training materials. These really set Style Intelligence apart from the other products.

We needed a solution that provided both reports and dashboards out of the box. We looked at a lot of other products and they were either strong on dashboards or reports but not both. StyleIntelligence not only had both dashboards and reports but they use the same metadata layer. This allowed us to put our industry formulas in one place and have both reports and dashboards show the results. If we change a formula it's replicated across all the dashboards and reports, giving a single version of the truth.

The product is extremely easy to use and make reports and dashboards quickly. I have found a lot of very powerful features in the tool that make my job easy. As a consultant I was able to teach myself the tool and become productive very quickly. When I couldn’t determine how to do something I would go to the reference videos they have and watch it and learn how to do something new. The customer support has been great. I can’t say enough good about the product.

I can't think of anything I dislike about the product. Every business problem I have had to deal with, I have been able to solve with the tool and quickly.

I highly recommend this product. I found it to be easy to use and easy to solve complex issues with. The support is excellent and highly knowledgeable of the product.

I have been trying to tie the new Policy and Claim systems into the existing Financial System. The benefits I have realized are displaying the "out of balance" conditions to the business and showing them early in the process. The business loves the results they are seeing and are requesting more reports.

Style Intelligence strikes a great balance between ease-of-use and capabilities. Users can do nearly anything they can imagine with their data. End-users can create complex data mashups quite easily. Power-users can do incredibly complicated mashups and reporting and deliver the results to users with ease. InetSoft makes this process easier than many other BI vendors.

InetSoft support is very responsive and helpful. They also implement reasonable requests quickly and consistently. I have not had this experience with other BI vendors.

As with all BI platforms, we've experienced some issues. I dislike that there are ever any problems with software, but that's not at all realistic. And InetSoft helps us resolve any problems we encounter quickly. Their very responsive and helpful support make my unrealistic "dislike" go away quickly.

You really need to trial Style Intelligence. Its features-to-usability-to-pricing balance is excellent. If you don't consider it you're missing out on a contender that will undoubtedly make your final list.

We use Style Intelligence as a front-end to our SaaS application.

It is very easy to get hand on. The reason I select this produce is because it is very easy to work with. And it is also very easy to train my users. It also comes with very nice graphic, pictures.

It is hard to find right person to help you. They have some good technical people, but you don't know when you open a ticket which person will be work on your issue. This is the part I don't like, but I guess this is the case for most of the support team in any company.

just try it.

We use this tool to help our field engineers generate report after their test. we like the UI and pictures this tool generates for us. Our field engineers love it because it is very easy to use. They can also easily alter the report on fly.

Extensibility. Open architecture. The level customization through java and javascript is impressive and supports a huge variety of use cases. Presenters and Formula tables are very powerful concepts.

Charts lack built-in variety of point styles/shapes. Difficult to apply consistent formatting to charts. Many customizations are possible, but require significant research and trial and error.

We chose Style Intelligence because the extensibility of the product via Java and Javascript was unrivaled. Our use cases are not standard, and we could not find any product that supported our use cases out-of-box. All systems have constraints. StyleIntelligence has fewer, or perhaps more options to work around or through the limitations than any other software we evaluated.

Provide high volumes of Employee Engagement/Demographics and Feedback reports in 20 different languages and a variety of formats: on-screen, large XLS data dumps, and most commonly PDFs to a variety of client and industries.

I like the most data mashup technology (worksheets). You could integrate and join data from various sources like databases (jdbc), files, etc.

They have very good support (support team was resolved every our issues).

They have very good documentation for users and developers with many of examples.

You could translate/localize every element of Style Intelligence.

I can't think of anything I dislike about the product. Every business problem I have had to deal with, I have been able to solve with the tool and quickly.

I am solving:

- performance issues

- integrate it with our own Map Module

- integrate it with our Active Directory

- integrate SI with other application using SOAP

The flexibility of the system is very robust. The ability to connect to disparate data sources and "mash them up" into a single dashboard or report makes this our go-to for data analysis.

Nothing specific comes to mind. Certainly nothing that hasn't been handled by their support team.

KPI measurements across all departments, cross referencing data between our ERP and warehouse management system, KPI dashboard displays in open areas

The flexibility within the product. While we were looking for a dashboard based business intelligence software what we received is much more. While we use the dashboard to some degree, we use the data exports for much of our internal analysis. But the real power came in the reporting mash up we could do. We use a high percent of our reports in operations to control product movement within our facilities. Another great use is analyzing our customer service. I still believe that we have only tapped about 30% of Inetsoft's potential.

I would like to see "Users Conferences". I believe there is great potential in the synergy which users getting together could creatd

Links the various databases we utilize in an easy and efficient manner.

Logical model on top of physical model.

Row level security model.

Ability to combine data sources.

Looks and feel is a bit dated.

Support is not rapid.

Exposing business data to managers and franchise owners.

Easy to use, to configure, to build reports/dashboards, and very powerful and flexible features.

Look and feel of the portal could be better.

Complex documents as reports, like commercial invoice, purchase order, and other government related official documents.

Rich functionality along with open systems standards that enables creation of useful and pragmatic decision making dashboards for different tiers of organizational staff and management personnel alike.

There is not much to dislike. I could say that the OEM / White Label could use some improvement. It is pretty decent today but can become more streamlined and partner integration ready. The support for the process is relatively mature and reliable.

Plan for as much training as you can up front. Use the mentoring service from InetSoft. It is extremely helpful in kick starting your efforts.

We are providing very intuitive information dashboard that enable decision making and action planning. This is providing significant benefit to our customer base. One particular area of impact is energy management and conservation.

We have a good relationship with the vendor. They are receptive to feedback and generally implement changes quickly. Their solutions are flexible and can meet many use cases.

There is a way to go to improve stability, but things have been trending in the right direction over the last couple major releases. We have a large enterprise deployment.

We use InetSoft as our enterprise solution. It handles the gambit of use cases from simple ad hoc reports to complex dashboard and everything in between. The benefits and flexible of the tool has been incredibly powerful in enabling a distributed development environment that allows all levels of the organization visibility and access to data.

Report building and scheduling (automation)

nothing at this point. Everything we use it for at this point is awesome.

Very robust tool that points at multiple data bases with many functions and flexibility. I highly recommend to companies that are chasing the cutting edge -to take a serious look at Style Intelligence.

report cosnsistency / automation / quality control

Most things can be done via easy to understand GUI

As with most user guides, they don't give you all the necessary information to do more complex things

Establish a solid logical model so users can leverage the easy to use metric creation/interaction without having to know how the data model works

Establish metrics to measure the performance of staff and customers

The ability to Extracts data from homogeneous or heterogeneous data sources and transforms the data in a usable, internal table, without requiring external IT support teams to integrate and build custom database tables for the integrated data we need for processing.

I would like to see better on-line documents as well as better tutorials oriented around engineering vs sales and marketing.

Tracking and trending software defects for a large number of business units, using a common engineering process for teams that have different rules for tracking the same defects. We also track continuous delivery process and build integration using this tool.
