Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it to analyze our data in a way that is effective and easy to report out on and clear for all of those involved to see what we are doing and manipulate the data to see our services from different view points which are key for us when we apply for grants.

Pros and Cons

Great Visuals
User Friendly
Very fast

Took a while to get the hang of it.
Sometimes the pages take a while to load.
More video tutorials would be great

Alternatives Considered

Digital Roots and Moat Analytics

It is easy to store and retrieve data so that when there is a turnover we are able to find information that someone entered and then use that for the upcoming prospective reports. Also the visuals we are able to generate through the programming help us quickly build reports and share out to the community.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Application Virtualization, Excel4apps, Microsoft Data Protection Manager

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited when we are displaying our data on services provided to individuals and to the schools we service when reporting out for the county and the associating administrators. The ease that we can share information in a way that is pleasing to the eye and easy to comprehend is invaluable. Sometimes it is less appropriate for individual tracking.
