Infogram

Great enterprise solution that saves massive time

Avantages :

What I love most about this software is that it allows colleagues from multiple business units to tap in to the same growing library of content. Not only has this allowed us to piggyback off of each others' creations, but it has allowed us to establish brand consistency like never before. The workflow and publishing features have been key to making sure we put out excellent quality material on a consistent basis.

Inconvénients :

I only wish the Enterprise version started with more licenses so more people could use them! For example, I don't work much with social media, but I've found the report and dashboard templates to be a huge help communicating my ideas to executive staff. This isn't an obvious use of the tool, but I would add more users to take advantage of this feature if I were able.

Easy to use software to get started with infographics and data visualisation

Commentaires : I first was introduced to Infogram way back in 2014 and I continue to recommend it to clients who need a simple, effective and easy-to-use data and information presentation solution. I have personally had a good customer service experience.

Avantages :

It has a very intuitive interface that makes it very easy to get started making data visualisations and infographics for online communications. I often work with / train NGOs who need to get their message out there but don't have much technical knowledge or very big budgets and this has vastly improved the impact and reach of their online communications. There are a wide variety of charts and graphs, timelines and infographics available and they continually add more. It is simple and easy to embed or share graphics so it's great for social media. It's also 100% mobile friendly. The free option has loads of functionality and because the interface is so friendly it's actually a lot of fun to use!

Inconvénients :

If you want to create very customised or more advanced data visualisations, eg. complex maps (GIS data) or work with big data this is not for you. However, if you want to present the broad outcomes of your data analysis in an easy to understand way this is great.

Nice but frustrating

Commentaires : Infogram is a great tool to build slick looking reports, one pagers, infographics etc. The product is also really good for anyone who wants detailed and beautiful looking charts or diagrams, but without the brainpower needed to do this in excel. Simply drag and drop then click to change values. With the good however, comes the bad! the free version is pretty useless as you cant export to PDF. There is an extra cost to remove watermarks even after you buy a pro license. Data can go missing, and viewing the site on a mobile device or old laptop is pretty much not going to happen. Overall I feel this product is great for lone workers, or people studying. In terms of would I buy this for an enterprise level company, my answer is No. Theres so many competitors for this type of brand that its just not worth battling the downsides.

Avantages :

- Great drag and drop functionality - Dynamic charts and inforgraphics - Really nice icons - Multiple page formats

Inconvénients :

- Page sizing can be really fiddly - selecting A4 size seems to be way harder to find than it should - Printing optimization is poor, far stronger for sharing electronically - Customer service is not great, I lost entire projects and the team very quickly told me they couldn't restore them without much thought. This only happened once however and I used infogram heavily. -Poorly optimized for mobile.

What's good in Infogram

Avantages :

What I really like about this site is that it can convert my data into infographics and publish then share it. I can also create interactives maps which makes my presentation creative. You can use Infogram for intensive data analytics. You can customize everything as well as your dashboards.

Inconvénients :

There are so many tabs and buttons and it takes time for me to familiarize with it. There are also limits to information you can include so you have to avail their premium for that. I hope they can extend/upgrade the information we can input for the free trial users as not all students can avail it. Over all, this is still a great app for presenting your data, create patterns and see trends quickly.

Great graphics tool for chart construction!

Commentaires : I am pleased with my experience with Inforgram. As stated, I would like a few less restrictions on the free version, but I haven't found a better platform that offers graphics this stunning!

Avantages :

Several platforms have the ability to make charts and graphs from data; however, few have the ability to make it look good (with minimal effort) - Inforgram is one of the few! Here's why I love it: - When it comes to visually representing data, Inforgram is incredible! The graphs you are able to design are among the best I've seen. Not only that, but you can even build in animated graphs (to a certain extent). It takes what could be boring numbers/charts and turns it into stunning graphics! - It's free - and quite honestly, you can do a lot with it. After experimenting, you may choose to pay, but I am very pleased with the power and functions in the free version. If you're on a budget, go with Infogram. - It's extremely user-friendly. The learning curve isn't really a curve. The builders/designers have done an incredible job of making this intuitive and easy to use for everyone. - You can pull from various data sources (Sheets, Dropbox, etc.). - There are lots of templates to choose between and build from. - It's so easy to move your graphic to another platform when you're complete (i.e., to social media, a slide deck such as Prezi, download for distribution as a PDF or PNG, etc.). - In my experience, the company seems to always be improving and innovating - so I'll list that as a pro as I expect to see great things in the future.

Inconvénients :

I have few complaints from my experiences with Infogram, but here are some concerns that I will point out: - If you're relying on the free version, your creation will have the Infogram logo. No way around it really. They deserve credit for their product, though, so I respect this. - The subscription version is a bit pricey, in my opinion and on my budget. - I would also like to see more features or customization on the free version (even fonts). - You are relying on an internet connection. Most of the time this is not a problem, but just be mindful of that.
