    Advantive
    DDI Inform is well-suited for flexible solutions (cloud/on-premise) and simple scenarios for distributors. It also helps to be on a relaxed timeline as support if very slow if things go wrong. It's less appropriate if you need things done now, want to go deeper into data or customization, or don't have a knowledgeable IT resource that can help you with various software quirks/deploys.

    It is so flexible and configurable that it can be fairly easily adapted to most situations.

    • Random errors (seem to be related to python) can be very difficult to troubleshoot.
    • Creating reports and print/email documents is very cumbersome and confusing. Needs to have a WYSIWYG editor.

    It gets the job done most of the time. Customization and support bring the score down

    Wanted something flexible and with the ability to self-host. Open source is also nice.
