ibi WebFOCUS Reviews & Product Details

I love the visualizations and the ability to disconnect reports from the server through indocument analytics. I also love the customer service. The employees are very helpful and eager to learn with us and allow us to succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the limited flexibility using indocument analytics. Complicated filters are not easy to create and paramaterization is not available as well. I often have to reorganize the data in the database in ways we do not want to in order to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of pulling reports together, showing those reports and allowing other users to interact with the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be a little buggy, but the interface makes it easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Among the top of the list of best features is the ease of use. More often than not you do not have to dig very deep in the layers of the application or configuration in order to make changes. In the circumstance that you do have to revert to referencing a manual or user guide, they are intuitively written and designed to get you to the section to service your request as quickly as possible.

While it is often a blessing it can also be a curse, and that is the frequency of some updates. The client, which is used by global customers, often is in constant need of attention by IBI to ensure they are meeting everyone's business needs. While that is not a bad thing, there is something frustration in waiting for a fix or feature that's coming in a prior release that is still months away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use of the product. At the point when I was first acquainted with WebFOCUS I had the option to get going creating reports with no preparation. In light of my reporting and database foundation, I had the option to begin working with the product rapidly. I have been lucky enough to have won a couple of grants for our underlying work utilizing the product and am overhauling our BI stage to WebFOCUS. Among the highest priority on the rundown of best highlights is the usability. As a rule you don't need to delve exceptionally somewhere down in the layers of the application or arrangement so as to make changes. In the condition that you do need to return to referencing a manual or client direct, they are instinctively composed and intended to get you to the area to support your solicitation as fast as could be expected under the circumstances.

Now and again their enterprise licensing is somewhat costly to add on new product required for just a couple of clients. I do see Information Builders presently moving in the direction of settling the estimating challenge on a few of their new product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly customization of reporting, dashboard and infoapps building. WebFocus has its own language (Focus) , and usage of javascript, html and other languages in creating reporting are available. For developers, WebFOCUS offer many ways of executing and developing reports which it is not available in other BI platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To use WebFOCUS as developer, you need some time to get to know it well (few months). Other BI platforms may have a better gui than WebFocus. Although, in recent years, WebFocus changed their GUI a lot, and each year you can find new/pleasing updates so the company is very innovative each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
