    Course5 Discovery was able to help my organization with cross-functional data by monetizing it. Our data was transformed into augmented dashboards which are easy to navigate - I've never used a platform like this, so I found that this solution minimal enough for a beginner, but also intelligent enough for a seasoned professional. Course5 Discovery was able to curate personal stories around our data which allowed us to make better business decisions because we were basing them on facts and analytics. More importantly, these analytics are presented in a way that makes sense! The insights provided to our business were a mix of facts that were both predictive and prescriptive, which brought out the business to the next level. We no longer have to take the time to run endless reports, and then spend hours trying to decipher them. Instead, with Course5 Discovery all the information, data, and insights we need are right in front of us when we need it most.

    iHub is a decent enough environment that it serves our needs. We can have unlimited users and it can tie into AD although we do not use that feature currently. It is a decent place to store all of the reports in one location, even though for us it is not visually appealing to the end users. iHub is not a place where you want to create robust/interactive dashboards for end users to drill through and follow a "story".

    • Setting up a "dashboard" is extremely lacking in functionality. The different chart widgets you place on the page do not interact with each other. When you select an item from one do not expect it to highlight or filter another.
    • The speed and stability are not great, but maybe that is just our environment not being up to snuff...even though we are above the "recommended" settings.
    • The main GUI for a user is TERRIBLE. You log into a File Tree format where you have to navigate folders to reach the correct dashboard. There are ways around this, but it would either require an expensive payment to the Professional Services team to revamp to UI or another option they gave us was to create the "Default Dashboard" and provide that link to users and in that Dashboard, you use a new tab to include the navigation back to the main screen so that at least on the initial load the user is taken to a friendly looking dashboard instead of a file tree.

    Our instance of iHub does not stack up against the other larger BI tools out today. It is a good place to store reports in a central location that allows users to run very specific reports on demand, but it is not a place I would want to store all of my "dashboards". As far as holding individual reports that are specific to an individual need, it is a great tool. If you want to create a report that will be used as a Template for a Form or a Label, iHub is a good choice to store and schedule the report or call it via API to generate it and return it to your calling app.
