After hearing about Informer from a conference, I started the Trial Version as soon as I returned to office. From day 1, I am amazed by the helpfulness of the company, the ease of installation, and the built-in functionalities. I couldn't wait to show what it can do for the entire school. We called a special meeting and everyone feel in love with the reports and the tool that made it possible, Informer is one of the best decision we ever made!
None. All the challenges we encountered using UniQuery & Safari only made acquiring and using Informer sweeter.
