I’ve been doing reporting for many many years<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a niche skill I picked up back when the IT world would hire anyone with a heartbeat.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a skill I have taught to many others in the time since.\u00c2\u00a0 I just came across Izenda<\/a> (EYE-zenda) earlier today.<\/p>\n

There is cool stuff in here that I wouldn’t have expected to see in such nicely priced reporting tool–from free to just under $10k.\u00c2\u00a0 Surprisingly from the comparison chart not a huge differences in features between the high and low end.\u00c2\u00a0 Mostly the more expensive version was for unlimited users and all the bells and whistles.<\/p>\n

Most of you’ll want to dive right into the sign-up free demo of the product, but I watched the short video before getting my feet wet.<\/p>\n

Izenda Ad Hoc will do all the things you’d expect of a reporting tool: add and join your tables for you, allow you to add fields, sort and group those fields, filter out unneeded data, and create charts.\u00c2\u00a0 But where it exceeds other tools I have used is in it’s array of filtering logic available data and\u00c2\u00a0 you get an optional drop down<\/strong> of the values in the field you’d be filtering on.\u00c2\u00a0 Other tools I have seen you basically have to guess what might be in a field before hand.<\/p>\n

Did I mention it’s online<\/strong>!\u00c2\u00a0 The above would be cool if it was an installed client application, but on top of all that it’s online.\u00c2\u00a0 Tres Web 2.0.<\/p>\n

I am going to check out the 8 different export file types later on.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, maybe not all 8.<\/p>\n
