Yes, Inforiver is the only IBCS® certified solution that offers one-click templates for Business and Management Reporting. Inforiver provides two implementation options: (a) Stick to strict IBCS Standards while choosing the IBCS Theme, or (b) Achieve flexibility with some customization with the Inforiver theme where you could opt for traditional axis, legends, color choices, etc. based on the needs of your users. The latter option also facilitates change management in migrating your existing reports to Inforiver.

No. Based on customer feedback - we have decided to unbundle Inforiver Matrix and Inforiver Analytics+ so that there is flexibility to buy subscription for different user count for each product. However, if you purchased before May 31st, 2022, where Inforiver Analytics+ was included in the bundle, the subscription will be grandfathered. In this case, you will have the option to remain in the old pricing plan or switch to new unbundled pricing plan, with the later likely to be beneficial in the long run.

No. Inforiver Analytics+ is unbundled and is a separate purchase from both Inforiver Matrix and Inforiver Enterprise. It is done so that you can buy different user quantities for each of the 3 different product SKU (e.g., 500 Inforiver Analytics+ users, 250 Inforiver Matrix users and 100 Inforiver Enterprise users).

Charticulator and Deneb are excellent bespoke custom visuals that provide Power BI developers well-versed with DAX and scripting to create and customize advanced visualizations with features not available in native Power BI visuals. However, they require considerable amount of time and learning to master. Inforiver Analytics+ automates lot of the standards and best practices to render advanced visualizations in just few clicks and is a big timesaver for both developers and end-users. Inforiver also delivers unique capabilities such as measure-centric layouts, multi-dimensional small multiples/trellis charts, exploratory drill down analysis and annotations for data stories that are not available with Charticulator or Deneb (and in most BI platforms as well).

Inforiver Analytics+ supports both canvas and data-point based annotations. You can save annotations directly in your PBIX file provided you have editing rights to the report. The primary advantage is that Inforiver Analytics+ does not require access to any database or azure services to store annotations. It offers no-code annotation capabilities pretty much like Microsoft Power Point or Excel.

Yes. Inforiver Analytics+ ensures that all the native Power BI functionalities like drill through, page and report filters, and slicers work. You can use Inforiver Analytics+ & other native Power BI visuals on the same page.

Yes. We offer reading view customization where you can choose to show/hide various toolbar actions and properties.

Inforiver Analytics+ can export content that is hidden behind the horizontal and vertical scroll on your screen. This could include annotations, other multi-dimensional small multiple cards etc. On the other hand, the native Power BI only exports a screenshot of what you see directly rendered on your screen.

xViz Advanced Visuals are developer-friendly with lot of customization options. However, Inforiver is more end user friendly with innovative features like exploratory analysis and storytelling & annotations capabilities while automatically adhering to visualization best practices and standards. So – each of our product line caters to different persona and different set of use cases.
