Overall Satisfaction with Information Builders WebFOCUS
It's being used across different areas of the organization. Primarily we use it as a massive reporting tool for our business, helping our more than 5,000 stores to keep track of the multiple KPIs. Nevertheless it's also used as data management system for big data systems such as Hadoop, ODS, Greenplum, etc. Providing ad-hoc analysis of data is a big part of what WebFOCUS is being used for as well, helping us provide our analysts/executive team with meaningful data to determine business and operational decisions.
- Massive reporting, allows multiple users to access the same report at the same time within a fraction of a second. Its open, code wise, enough for you to assign distinct drilling levels and data view restrictions.
- Ad-Hoc Analysis will allow you to manage millions of rows of data within seconds for you to provide with the proper analysis for your different needs/areas.
- Data management in WebFOCUS is also very easy to understand and code, giving even the non-tech savy users a useful tool for reporting.
- FOCmarts can make your reporting so much more faster, when you have so much data to analyze having a tool that provides you with the ability to save off a smaller table of data with only what you need, always comes handy.

WebFOCUS is more visual and easier to build for a non-programming user, where with little knowledge on data management and dedication to learn it, you can easily start creating very well presented reporting that is automated. With the Report Caster system it allows you to fully automate your reporting with very little supervision.
