Inzata Reviews

Data ingestion and data model development

Query building needs some getting used to and visually they needs some work.

Prior to using Inzata I was creating dashboards by hand using multiple spreadsheets with data from hundreds of sources and platforms. Inzata has been such a timesaver. I like that I am able to load my own data, set up connections from other platforms, and create my dashboards from scratch. With a lot of the other companies we would have had to fit our data into a template they created. That means that...

I honestly do not have anything negative to say about this company.

Product Flexibility, Client Care, Software Instructionals

It is a young product with small flaws. For example, on a total line that contains a percentage or average in the column, inzata with sum total the percentage or average. This is an item they are working to correct.

The software does an amazing job bringing in data from multiple data sources and visually maps the data. This feature alone saves valuable time in building a data warehouse. The interface is fairly intuitive and the tools that are provided make it easy for data cleanup which enables users to begin building reports quickly.

The product is new in the education space so there aren't many examples available.

Allows me to bring all my data into one place, thus making informed decisions on the business and making us a more profitable organisation

There are alternative reporting software that are slightly more intuitive and easier to use

The ease of use, the support and value for price.

I have not used or seen the product enough to comment on cons. However, my team has nothing negative to say about the software.

Inzata creates seamless connections between different sets of data and eliminates hours of manual work for analysts. Inzata's support team has worked with our company to develop any new features and functions that we need to help us with creating visualizations for our data and does it quickly. Their support team is always available to answer our questions and support us in any way (thanks representative).

It takes some time to learn how to use the features but they are always available to answer questions, coach you through it and even do it for you if you are in a time crunch. They are also constantly working on making the platform more intuitive.

The system is intuitive to use and their understanding of data analytics is outstanding. The reporting speed and ability to configure custom dashboard for different use cases.

Not a direct limitation of the software, however, we could probably get more value out of the software if we had a dedicated person internally that focused on data analytics.

It's beyond ETL, way beyond. Because you never change the source data, you just map. In fact, you don't map it. In-Zata's AI and machine learning do the mapping, which you can always refine and tweak. You can easily return to any previous state in a complex set of joins and calculations . In-Zata will build and export a data warehouse for you, if your team is most comfortable in a BI environment. But you'll never need to build cubes or re-run aggregations. In one analysis we used geo fields, household and shape area demographics, attitudes, behaviors and transactions and calculated attributes from internal and 3rd party sources. And they all just lined up. Perfectly.

It's still a young product so some of the UIs aren't as intuitive as they might be. Some of the underlying concepts and constructs were unfamiliar. But the In-Zata team made sure to work through our questions, quickly.

The speed in which you can get from raw data to dashboards is incredible. The ability to interactively build your data model and add additional data sources to it is really something special.

I wish this existed back when I rolled out a 120TB Hortonworks cluster.

The speed of the data refreshes and the continuing new features show me that the tool is maturing day by day.

Certain missing editing functions in the web tool (like an Undo function) and the possibility to embed dashboards in iframes easily will need to be added.

I loved the speed and flexibility. With just a little bit of expertise, you can build just about any data integration, visualization or computation.

There's a learning curve. There are particular short codes and special short cuts, like any software, that are inherent to Inzata and not readily accessible to a new user. I've written in HTML, Python, etc. and it wasn't completely natural to start writing out formulas.

Inzata allows us to run any report we can think of to analyze our companies data to make better and smarter decisions. You name it and the Inzata platform either already has it or their team of experts is there to help create it or walk you through your alternatives. I also love the fact that I know when we send them an email or give them a call we are going to have our questions answered promptly. Great customer service.

It is hard to teach team members how to effectively build and run reports. There is definitely a learning curve and without some sort of data or technology background it is hard for the standard user to create and filter the data they are trying to see. It would also be nice to see the ability to manage the data within Inzata easily (Delete records, rename fields, etc.).
