Overall Satisfaction with Information Builders WebFOCUS
WebFOCUS is currently in use across the whole organization from field users to upper management. We are using this technology to keep track of some metrics and to display them in reports. The information that we use come from different sources and we are working to crunch it and make it available in our WebFOCUS servers so our reports can display properly in a fast way.
- I think that the speed that WebFOCUS use is good. You are able to process high amounts of data in just minutes.
- It is easy to create basic reports and the tools that it provides are very good in order to achieve the goals of the team. It let you create data marts and reports that will work together to display the information that our users need.
- WebFOCUS can work with some many different sources at the same time. It leads you to be able to work using different technologies.
- The Developer Studio has some bugs. I've faced errors where swapping between our DEV and PROD servers causes that the software stops responding.
- Easy to find documentation and examples. WebFOCUS has some help with this but it'd be better to provide more real life examples.
- Sometimes it's harder to code the graphical interface of the report because of the HTML styling.
I've used a few other development frameworks, but the desition of the company to use WF was not mine. I came and WF is the tool that the company uses.
I think that WF is a very important framework to achieve the goals of the company and I would like this technology to become the industry standard.
