Infor Birst Top Features Related Review

Reviewed on 2 February 2020

This is a very wonderful system. We use it mainly for data modelling, generating reports, etc. and their client support is exceptional. However, despite the many stated cons, they’re mostly experienced by developers.

Pros

If the requirements are simple, it is easy to drag and drop reports, support and community are great, has an adaptable and robust BQL, using the API is simple, writing scripts to automate common roles is possible, and methods of processing data are both simple and complicated
Also, a section of the Admin tool has greatly eased troubleshooting reports thanks to the ability to view the BQL and final SQL query making it extremely simple to locate issues.

Cons

It’s not possible to copy and paste items
Copying dashboards and implanted reports isn’t possible
A few admin roles can’t work together with one another
For the admin monitors/screens, they work with FLASH
You can’t manage to have wonderful looking reports if you have needs for ADA approved readability as the fonts are small/medium/large and scrollbars, etc
will be on everything…etc.
