How IntelliPRINT Analytics can save your head from exploding

Excerpts from the review

“When we took a look at the packaging, we read: 'IntelliPRINT Analytics provides powerful data mining, ad-hoc analysis... It is very powerful yet easy to use... Even business users, without any technical background, can derive tremendous benefits... and make effective and well-informed decisions.' Want a surprise? It looks like their marketing is telling the truth. This tool is pretty slick.”

“IntelliPRINT Analytics is a very big product. We're only going to be able to cover a small percentage of what it can do. But that'll be enough to show you what we discovered: this thing will save you some serious time.”

“Throughout our examination of the product, we noticed well-designed little touches that definitely contributed to our final rating.”

“What's slick (we say this a lot with this product -- some of these features would make Excel better!), is that you can drag multiple column headers up to the gray zone, creating sub-groupings in seconds.”

“... all this happened inside of Notes. No programming. No hassle. Just a couple of clicks of a wizard and you have a chart even a manager could love. When we created this chart, it took, maybe, two minutes. And that was the first time we used the product.”

“There's a whole lot to this product we don't have space to cover. There's an entire array of easy and very powerful filtering options we're only just mentioning now. You can do very deep multi-dimensional analysis and data mining using features we haven't mentioned. You can generate attractive reports, custom-style cells based on values and conditions, and do a whole lot more.”

“This is a big, capable product and we're very impressed with it. It installed well, it functioned smoothly, it did exactly what it was supposed to do, and it came chock full of useful little touches that showed real care in the program's design.”

“Those of you who've read my articles know how much I hate giving 5 out of 5 scores. You know I expect a product to be all it can be before I'm willing to even consider awarding a perfect score. But given that IntelliPRINT Analytics does everything it's supposed to, and does it all, smoothly, from within Notes, and given that it even does some things that were unexpected and yet very much appreciated, we have no choice but to grant this product a very intelligent 5 out of 5.”
