Infogram

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

This is a really intuitive program in so many ways. It anticipates the users’ needs and provides the right level of support and freedom to the creator of presentations. I really like the availability of templates because it sets off the structure of your presentation. However, customization is freely given too. One can edit the elements, change the font properties, add other icons and images, the list could go on. They have professional-grade design elements in its library too, plus the geographic data that they have is noteworthy. I’m really impressed with how much one can do in Infogram. I also think that creating reports here is easy because all you have to do is to copy your data into the sheets, and Infogram will just automatically generate the report for you. By then, you can go ahead and tweak your presentation as you please. The auto-save function is a life-saver as well. I’ve never been more impressed with any other program. I absolutely love Infogram!

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

You’d need to upgrade to the paid version to fully enjoy all the benefits. And use is limited too because you can only access your account if you are online.

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

This program has helped us create and present infographics in an aesthetically pleasing standard. The pleasantly surprising part is that these presentations can be generated in just a short amount of time--saving us the trouble and the time. We don’t just limit our outputs online too. We have also generated high-res results from Infogram and have even printed these out.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

I’ve been able to jazz up my online website thanks to this program. I really love how it takes away the unavoidable decision paralysis of having to individually choose colors and fonts to include in the presentations--we have templates to make the final call for us. And because of this, it becomes really easy to put together a presentation that is as beautiful as it is accurate. Of course, if I wanted to change up some properties of the template, I can do so too.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I’ve been using the free plan, and it doesn’t really have much features for me to work with.

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

I’ve been teaching my students the importance of presenting data that are attention-grabbing and impressive. Infogram really drives the nail when I make this point. Through it, my students can see and appreciate the results of well-presented data.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

The availability of design elements is really what makes Infogram stand out for me. I’ve been using this consistently ever since this was introduced in school, and I have been able to create many stunning presentations through this program. The templates are a great way to get started because you don’t have to overthink your layout and all. However, if you want more freedom in the design, you can tweak it based on your creative vision too. Publishing it online is no problem as well.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

This is a program that works really well with graphs--but apparently, not maps. There aren’t enough shapes that would otherwise be available on other platforms. This is too bad because I really want to get down to the nitty and gritty and create accurately geographic data. Another thing: I haven’t figured out how to add my Infogram presentations on video clips yet.

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

I’ve been using this tool in various facets of my life--from pitching my ideas to clients, to creating graphs for my class, and even in creating content for my social media pages. As long as you can imagine it visually, there is but little limit to what you can do with this program.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

I do like the availability of templates. Through them, it’s really easy to make stellar reports and graphs that have been well-received by the general public.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Infograms business plan is way above my budget. Right now, I am content with my current, lower-end plan, however, it would be nice to be allowed to put some branding elements into my presentations. So that’s just two options: eiter Infogram lowers their rates or they add more features to the lower-end plans.

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

We’ve been able to package our news into more digestible information through graphs. This is really important in our field because graphs facilitate understanding.
