InetSoft was founded in 1996, and since then its reporting tool has been deployed at over 5,000 organizations from all parts of the world and has been embedded into solutions built by scores of technology providers targeted at any type of industry. See below some testimonials about why they chose InetSoft:
Big Data Job Turned into a Small Effort
“I took on a job that involved analyzing a large amount of complex data. I was really worried that I had bitten off more then I could chew. When I found InetSoft's StyleBI I knew I would be fine. The multi-dimensional charting combined with the ability to really drill down makes this platform one-of-a-kind. They also gave me plenty of options for showing off the results for my finished project.” - James from Technology Intelligence Agency
React in Real-time
“One of the biggest benefits we see with this product is our ability to react more quickly to potential problems that affect our bottom line by alerting us to crucial information on a real-time basis. This will allow us to respond very quickly to opportunities and take a more proactive approach to management. In addition to tracking financial data in real-time, we plan to create an interactive dashboard which will be used to identify and prevent health issues at the early stages. We believe our current use of this product is just the tip of the iceberg and we look forward to future applications.” - Brandon Depenbusch, GM of South Operations and Director of Research at ILS
InetSoft Was the Clear Winner
“The product has many great features. The vendor is always available to help with implementation, technical support and enhancements. The product is reasonably priced.We conducted a pretty extensive market research for our customers and users and evaluated several products before selecting InetSoft's solution. For our requirements and for our budget, InetSoft was the clear winner. Anyone considering a mission critical software solution should evaluate the most promising products before their final commitment.” - Hadi Rezazad, CEO at Orchid Technology
Reduce Our Reliance on IT
"The business case for this kind of self-service reporting software was clear given the bottleneck we had in our data access processes. We needed to reduce our reliance on IT for basic access to information that our staff depends on to serve our members. We evaluated several options including developing a solution internally, but given the reasonable initial investment, broad functionality, and ease of use of the software, we chose InetSoft. We were particularly interested in the data grid caching technology built into the application, and we are excited to see the system in action." - Kevin Watkins, Vice President of Engineering at PNGC Power
High Value for the Total Cost of Ownership
"With InetSoft's solution, we can give easy access to all of our institution's data, enabling staff, managers, and executives to receive vital information in a much more efficient and timely manner. And with a significant reduction of IT costs, we feel that we are receiving a high value for the total cost of ownership of this technology solution." - Curt Dodds, Director of IT at Simpson University
Combine Data into a Single View
"Our clients wanted something interactive, something that they could change on the fly. Also, some of our international manufacturing clients had data from multiple plants in multiple countries, so they needed something that could combine that data into a single view." - Keith Stone, COO of Intellitrends"
Responsiveness to Our Needs
"Our solution implementing InetSoft's software has been in production for some time now, and we have been very pleased with its reliability. Another benefit we have found in having selected InetSoft is the company's responsiveness to our needs, something that can be lacking among other business intelligence software vendors." - Stewart Morse, Manager of Online Communication Systems at IBRC
Saved Months of Development Time
"We selected InetSoft’s Style Report Enterprise for its powerful and flexible application programming interface and for the light weight of the Web-based information access and presentation application. We saved months of development time associated with initial internal development and were able to launch applications faster than if the reporting solution were developed in-house."
The InetSoft solution offers an embedded web-based architecture that reduces heavy custom build efforts and allows rapid go-live. Its flexible API supports integration into existing workflows and branding without large delays. This enables teams to spend less time on infrastructure and more on analytics and reporting value.
Reports Run in Seconds, Not Minutes
"Each application is data-rich, and our customers need easy-to-use, yet powerful, reporting and analysis capabilities. We have been particularly happy with the performance that embedding InetSoft’s technology has delivered with reports running in seconds, not minutes, which has considerably enhanced the end-user experience -- while at the same time reducing the resource load in producing reports and greatly increasing throughput."
The InetSoft engine is built for high-performance delivery of reports even under load. Caching and data-mashup features help reduce latency and backend stress. Users benefit from faster access to insights and IT teams benefit from reduced resource consumption.
Pleased With Deployment and Cost Reduction
"We selected InetSoft’s Style Report Professional for a time-tested, dependable publishing engine and a powerful, yet easy-to-use report designer that would save resources associated with internal development of publishing capabilities and client customization requests. We have been pleased with deployment, and the reporting software’s part in our ability to help companies of all sizes realize cost reduction and revenue acceleration associated with critical configuration and accurate quoting solutions."
The InetSoft publishing engine handles formatted output, scheduling and custom delivery, reducing manual overhead. The report designer allows business users to create and adjust templates without heavy developer intervention. This reduces ongoing maintenance costs and contributes to faster ROI.
Reduce Our Reliance on IT
"The business case for this kind of self-service reporting software was clear given the bottleneck we had in our data access processes. We needed to reduce our reliance on IT for basic access to information that our staff depends on to serve our members. We evaluated several options including developing a solution internally, but given the reasonable initial investment, broad functionality, and ease of use of the software, we chose InetSoft. We were particularly interested in the data grid caching technology built into the application, and we are excited to see the system in action."
The InetSoft platform supports self-service reporting so non-IT users can build or adjust reports. The data grid caching layer accelerates query response so front-line users don’t wait on IT. With users empowered directly IoT help requests fall and agility rises.
A One-Person Team Can Outperform a Full BI Group
"I have been using this product for almost 2 years, and I find it simple to use and gives reliable results. I recently had a team trying to create a report for 2 weeks with another BI product. Since they couldn’t build what they needed they came back to me. I was able to get it for them in less than a day with InetSoft. I am a one-person team getting reports to the business faster than the multiple-person BI team can create them. I love this product!"
The InetSoft drag-and-drop interface and pre-built templates eliminate steep learning curves. Even individual analysts can deliver production-quality reports without relying on a dedicated BI team. This agility allows small teams to out-pace bigger ones when tooling is efficient.
Highly Polished, Aesthetically Nice Dashboards
"There are many options for structuring your reports based on your system requirements, the product makes very aesthetically nice dashboards, it is versatile."
The InetSoft visualization library supports charts, maps, conditional formatting and custom layouts, enabling visually engaging dashboards. The platform’s flexibility enables design consistency with corporate branding and tailored layouts for different user roles. A strong visual look often drives adoption and keeps stakeholders engaged.
Open to Easy Integration
"We use StyleBI as a BI platform for Data Warehouse systems which we design. The architecture which is open to easy integrations with other modules."
The InetSoft solution supports multi-source connectivity—including relational, flat files, APIs and cloud sources—so it fits into complex environments. Embeddable components and open APIs mean the reporting layer can sit in custom applications or portals easily. Integration flexibility helps organisations avoid major redesigns when introducing the reporting platform.
The Reporting System That Won Against 50+ Others
"I evaluated over 50+ reporting solutions such as Qlikview, Report Plus, Tableau, BIME, and Yellowfin to name a few. This one beat them all, it has a complexity that reminds me of Qlikview without the 3 Months of Training Required."
The InetSoft platform delivers enterprise-grade features with a more approachable implementation curve. The combination of capability and usability allows organisations to pick it over alternatives that require longer ramp-up. With fewer hours spent on training and onboarding, adoption starts sooner and benefits are realised quicker.
Delivered the Promise
"Our data is distributed across a variety of different systems, some in the cloud and some on premise. Prior to adopting StyleBI, institutional data was not linked seamlessly across system boundaries, and where possible, it required a labor-intensive process to convert data into a usable form for dissemination. Most complex queries had to go through a single IT professional. Now our power users can build their own views of the data and share them with any desired employees, all through a convenient web-based platform. And with a significant reduction of IT costs, we feel that we are receiving a high value for the total cost of ownership of this technology solution."
The InetSoft platform’s mash-up engine allows data from cloud and on-premise systems to be combined and analysed with minimal ETL. Self-service capabilities empower power users to design their own reports and views without heavy IT dependency. Lower IT overhead plus faster insights contribute to a strong ROI for companies adopting the solution.
