    It has allowed us as an organization to clearly deliver our numbers to our collaborators, but above all to the heads of our teams and company. Not being entirely professional, it is easy to use for someone who does not understand the function of these numbers or hard data.

    Cons

    • Data Viewer has a graph feature that is old school flat design. We loved the In House real 3D graph Lightning Tools program.

    Lightning Tools Data Viewer is much easier and more powerful than Infowise similar viewer in their lineup. In this case, we use Data Viewer over the one offered by Infowise.

    Powerslide stands out for having templates that help you easily organize hard data and more delicate information such as numbers and statistics. By having many ways to present and edit it in one place, it makes this a page with variety and empathy with its user.

    • Our collaborators do not get bored in meetings and even if it is a lot of information, seeing it in an interesting design makes them pay attention and like to be informed of the numbers they manage to obtain with their work.
