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.

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.

Pourquoi passer à Infogram

Avantages

We liked the data visualisation tools, but then we found a much better option, Datawrapper.

Inconvénients

The problem is that they do not care at all about you as a client, how satisfied you are or anything. We just forgot about canceling the subscription, so they charged us again, and although I know that was legal on their part, they didn't even care to see that we don't use their product.

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.

Avantages

The free version has sufficient features to make this product effective for conveying instructional information. The software is intuitively easy. The selection of graphical tools is varied and supports symbolic displays of information. The ability to insert hyperlinks is critical to allow for further exploration of content. Transitions between pages are effective. The infogram can be embedded into a web page (in my case, in a Canvas content page; Canvas is my university's learning management system). The ability to make changes on the fly without wholesale revision is a strong asset. You can insert media from a variety of sources (YouTube, Vimeo, et al.). The ability to roll out the information quickly and easily is another asset.

Inconvénients

There are arbitrary limitations on the amount of pictorial graphics that you can add with the free version. With the ability to insert media there is no capability of expanding a video clip to full-screen. There are no rollover effects when you move your mouse over a linked object to indicate that it is "clickable." The shapes (under "add shape") do not allow you to enter text in a shape to create a callout which would be useful. All of these missing features would vastly improve the interactivity and engagement with the final product, especially the ability to go full-screen with media clips. I am not saying let's make this compete with "Prezi;" but just make the free version more interactive and functional than it already is.

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.

Avantages

As it is a web solution, You can use whenever You are. Simple and efficient user interface, with multitude of options and templates that are needed in, perhaps, 98 % of cases. Inserting data for info-graphic as spreadsheet is a fantastic solution. Non-English characters are well supported and there are just enough fonts to chose from. Design options are easy to understand and are immediately visible.

Inconvénients

As it is a web solution, You need an internet connection. Today this is not a big problem but sometimes can be frustrating. Standalone version would be helpful, as some other solutions have this option. Theme names are slightly stupid. More fonts would be better.

Avantages

The platform for creating infographs, reports, and other template based projects seems to be more business oriented. The program allows for analytics, which is great. There are a few free templates available to new users, but not many.
Overall, the layout is very user friendly and easy to get around.

Inconvénients

In my opinion, free templates are crucial for getting my business hooked on using a service. The price is very steep, especially for small businesses like ours. If you're looking for a low-cost service, this might not be it, but it will provide higher functionality than most.

Avantages

Entry level is very basic, and cooperation on the same file is a really an awesome feature. This tool is best for creating/sharing templates and peer correction.

Inconvénients

there are some small irritating issues that were problematic e.g. exporting files random malfunctions, elements moved their position slightly when you clicked on them, documents were glitching if you had too many pages etc.

Avantages

I can produce infographics, charts in minutes for our marketing, presentations, software demos, etc.. I looks crisp, templates are good...really hats off to the Infogram software design. It is very easy to embed in social networks, websites and gives all the right options to embed.

Inconvénients

None at this point. It has exceed my expectations.

Avantages

The software is simple to use. There are a wide variety of charts and graphs. The infogram can be embedded in a web page. The variety of graphical tools available supports symbolic information production. You can include media from various sources (YouTube, Google Drive, etc.). Another advantage is the ability to disseminate information quickly and easily.

Inconvénients

The free version doesn't allow you to remove the infogram logo. The subscription is also a bit expensive. No download option available in the basic version which is frustrating. The limited amount of font makes it more average. The interface looks outdated.

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.

Avantages

Very easy to use, you have access to lot of graphics and animation to represent your data.

Inconvénients

If you want to have access to other Interesting themes you have to pay, also you can’t download your infographics if you are in The free version.

Avantages

I have been using infogram for many years. User friendly site. It has a simple design. It has vibrant colors and cute graphics. The templates are useful and beautiful.

Inconvénients

No new data visualization tool has been added to the site for a long time.

Avantages

I searched high and low for software that produces charts easily and can be embedded on our intranet. I tried many and none are better than Infogram. They provide a modern interface and output which reflects better on the data produced.
Their staff does not hide, they are available and quick to respond. More impressively, they are proactive in offering help.

Inconvénients

I love the templates and ease to modify them... which is also what I like the least. I am not a graphic designer and the multitude of features to customize can be daunting. Don't get me wrong though, it is easy to navigate. I am just not great at picking my own colors and layout :)

Logiciel antérieur 

Avantages

How easy it is to create professional and comprehensive charts and infographics. Rather than having to learn difficult to use software, I can user this suite to easily present a professional and easily digestible infographic or other charts that is both fun and informative to user or investors. Versatile software that is easy to use and quick.

Inconvénients

Buggy at times, but nothing that a quick refresh or restart hasn't solved. Other than that it's been a great experience.

Avantages

It's fast, easy to use, and has a lot of options (although many of them come with the paid plan). Reports are hosted online and easily shareable with your team or class. Takes much less time to setup a nice, interactive report than using spreadsheets (and doesn't rely on everyone having to use another piece of software to view/edit).

Inconvénients

This is based on the free version, but there is no option to create private reports without going to the paid version. I understand that's their business model, but something to be aware of as a user. Also, I'm not aware of a way to create hi-res versions of your report. So it's mostly suited to viewing in a browser.

Avantages

They added the ability fairly recently to connect data visualizations to data in Google Sheets, etc. We started to use the service as a quick way to generate data driven charts and graphs but with this capability we're exploring using it for our regular monthly reporting.

Inconvénients

Had a billing issue after going from the basic paid plan to trying out a business level limited time demo. It was resolved quickly but a pain.

Avantages

It is always hard to make an eye-catching presentation with normal template available. But infogram helps me to do it another level. I share it with my colleague so they can update on their own.
This also helps me to create a report and make a presentation for my business. It is really a very good idea to do proofreading and get advice from my partner. Collaboration and integration help me build the perfect chart and future plans.

Inconvénients

It's not a simple software to use. I have to learn and tell people how to use it. More video tutorials can help us better using it.

Avantages

You COULD spend countless hours trying to learn D3. Or just use infogram. It's relatively easy to create basic interactive charts. It takes a bit longer to master some of the quirks, but nothing worthwhile is ever simple, right?

Inconvénients

Sometimes it can be a bit 'buggy' and the preview can take a while to refresh.

Avantages

Infogram is easy to use, and they keep adding new visualization options and tweaking the table-maker, which make the whole experience better and better.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I have trouble pasting data from Excel to the Infogram worksheet, which makes it hard to build tables.

Avantages

Nowadays working with infographics it's mandatory for everyone that works in the marketing business. Finding a tool that can help us in an easy way to create awesome content is a big plus. We've decided to use inform and we are really happy with the tracking opportunities. We can check realtime which content is performing better and perform live improvements without having to embed infographics all over again.

Inconvénients

Video feature would be a big plus. Also I believe the outputs can be better than just png, pdf. Video for instance?

Avantages

It is very easy for using. This software is amazing and it is good for beginners who are willing to start programming eventually. I get suggested code before I even finish the word so it saves time. It's awesome.

Inconvénients

It is good but enough to compete with other software like Atom or Visual studio Code. I've tried this software but I have moved on to another editor.

Avantages

Infogram is a powerful data visualization tool that has it all from individual charts to reports and dashbaords.

Inconvénients

The limited number of pages per report for pro-account

Avantages

Easy to create infographics for presentations, board meetings, even fundraising event meetings. Very user friendly. Amazing customer support, someone is always there to answer a question any time.

Inconvénients

The only thing we have come across is that I do wish we could make a state map sectioned by only certain counties or get to pick which counties make up the map. We do certain reporting for grants and sometimes they are only giving money to be used in a certain area and we have to show what is being done in that area. But overall, no complaints about this software.
