Easy Insight

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Collecting data from multiple sources and reporting is made really easy with a standard suite of tools, and excellent customization options. We apply it mostly for Highrise data, but we also make combinations with internal data from our services, suh as accounting. I personally like the drag and drop functionalities, which look simple, but offer advanced coding practices for experienced users.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

There is no official user community where one could share practices and ideas, I really miss that. I believe I could get some more useful tips instead of resorting to support whenever a problem appears. Luckily for me, support was super tolerant and responsive, but I still think they should create a large user base for an even better experience. As for the product itself, I have no complaints at all. I am amazed by what it can do.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We are tracking deal pipelines, and trying to predict what our staff needs, and we are very succesful at it. Overall, Easy Insight helps us evaluate the success of our business development strategies, so that we'll always know we're on the right path. We're still exploring the program, and I can only imagine the capabilities I haven't discovered yet.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

These are the things I like the most about Easy Insight: easy and practical access to all data sources, building connections between them, automated reporting, automated dashboards, using a simple URL to share reports and to download them, consolidating reports on complex dashboards which provide for data calculation and conditional modifications.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Each report comes with a variety of options, and that can cause documentation to 'disappear' from time to time. Some of the new report properties are too playful for my taste, but I am sure this is a matter of time, as support claims to be working on it already.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

The biggest problem we've solved is using the software to collect data from multiple types and dimensions, and such coming from all sorts of sources (even at low TCO), into a single comprehensive dashboard. As expected, the dashboard looks very professional, since it is generated dynamically and integrated straightforward with the data sources. The best part of our experience is definitely automation.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Working with piles of different data per day it's never easy, and one easily gets confused. I have to upload, configure, and display information accurately, and that's where EI has been most handy to me. The dashboard is complex, but intuitively navigated, meaning that you can simplify it using very basic controls. For instance, I organize the dashboards in such a way that users have everything, but see firstly what is really relevant to them. What I like the most is that my work is visible to so many viewers, and that I can combine those viewers in groups. Awesome!

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I don't think this is the best program for following user activity, as you cannot even report on it. For what I know, they're trying to sort the issue out now. I also think dashboards are not dynamic, and users are somehow restricted from exploring the report in details.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We heard about Easy Insight's best practices long time ago, and we wanted those to be a part of our workflow. We tried to explore the program completely, and to benefit as much as possible, and we're actually sharing information in simplified and accessible formats. Priority was obviously reporting, but we're obviously expanding usage (mostly for financial purposes).

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

I've used Easy Insight for few years, and I honestly think it is one of the most comprehensive and capable BI products on the market. At the same time, it was simple enough for savvy users to understand it, even such that had no experience with data management at all. I think it is a perfect cut for small buisnesses and startups, since it doesn't cost a fortune, and becomes an indispensable part of the management system.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I thought there might be a question like this, so I compared and evaluated my experience. Even after that, I have nothing to say. Easy Insight has been amazing to us, it fit perfectly to every need we had.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Our management team used it to extract valuable information from all sources and formats, and they based key decisions on that information. The process was apparently smooth, since information was automatically updated with API links, and reports were emailed to the heads of office on a daily basis. Everyone is very satisfied.
