### "Overall, I'm very happy with Argos. Its ease of use is its strongest point."

April 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like its ease of use the most. It's intuitive so once the SQL is developed, everything else falls into place.

Cons

As a technical person, I don't care for the visual developer. Everyone seems to really prefer free SQL. The trade off for its ease of use if that it sometimes is restricting. For example, the tabs are very small and there's no way to make them larger.

### "We've had nothing but positive experiences with Argos. The support and training staff are great!"

April 13, 2018

4.0

The software definitely helped with data governance as well as the ability to share data with other departments on campus. The main feature that most departments are utilizing is the ability to send email blasts and to send scheduled reports.

Pros

The thing I like most about this product is it's flexibility. There are a lot of things you can do with Argos (email blasts, scheduled reports, dashboards, OLAP cubes, etc.). In addition, the customer support team is great. Compared to other reporting tools, Argos is definitely worth its value for money.

Cons

One thing that I would like to see is the ability to pull from multiple databases in one datablock. I would like to see a feature with mapping datapoints, but I could see how that might make the product more expensive.

### "Argos is a reasonable report software at a good price."

May 10, 2018

3.0

Good software for my regular reports.

Pros

This is more of a budget reporting software. The best part of Argos is that it is inexpensive. For regular simple reports this is a great software to use at the enterprise level.

Cons

The software is targeted for simple and repetitive reports for regular users and hits that target well. The software seems to struggle with advanced reporting needs and other software should be used for complex reporting.

They go above and beyond to be helpful. ARGOS has enabled us to streamline many of our data requests and processes.

### "It's a fairly robust reporting tool. It isn't perfect but it is quite useful."

April 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

I would have to say that I like that has a lot of useful features. I feel like creating reports is easier than using SSRS. I like the ease of setting up automatic emails as well.

Cons

I feel like the statistical charts and graphs are clunkier than tableau. I would like to see better analytics overall.

April 18, 2018

5.0

Stable reporting tool.

Pros

Argos is able to handle large amount of data from variety of sources. It is flexible and end-user friendly.

Cons

Visualization of data is limited, and formatting documents for printing is time consuming. In order to take full advantage of it, proficiencies in SQL is a must.

### "Report writing and analytics in one place"

April 16, 2018

5.0

Report writing and analytics.

Pros

The process of report writing is easy and simple, once your data block is created. The process is pretty pain free, provided you know a SQL and where your data is at. There is a lot of help available from the company as well as other users.

Cons

Even with help, the learning curve for this software may be steep, depending of what you want to accomplish in the end.

### "Excellent product and support . "

April 11, 2018

5.0

Easy to learn and use. Performs well and is well received by end users. Has a lot of flexibility.

Pros

Dashboard capabilities. I love that you can build a functional web based online process as a dashboard.

Cons

I would love to see the dashboard capabilities expanded even more. I wish you had more properties for fields on a form to allow for better data integrity.

### "Keeps us grounded!"

February 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love how we can mangage classes and students information in one place. Unlimited number of users and database connections. We also love the data outcomes. The unlimited and free on-line interactive trainings really help. I am new to Argos so it helps. It really is a great tool in a large university. I also love have you can limit access to certain users as well.

Cons

The only thing I have a problem with is at how massive the acronyms are. We have to create a cheat sheet to find certain information. Nevertheless it looks very dated far as font and execution but it holds a lot of information.

### "Argos is a business intelligence tool targeted towards Higher Education."

April 13, 2018

4.0

Self Service business intelligence and the ability to develop professional and accurate reporting on demand.

Pros

People working at Evisions are extraordinarily experienced in reporting and educational use cases. This knowledge is incredibly valuable as we can dive right into the use case. So far, each of our questions have been asked by others and there is always an easy solution.

Cons

The software is still evolving and lacks some modern day features like Web Accessibility and the ability to code once and be able to render to any size monitor with a similar look and feel.

### "Great for Student Data"

December 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Argos is great at populating student data as well as faculty data for reporting of accreditation, etc. It does the job!

Cons

It can be a tad bit cumbersome to use at times. However, once you get the hang of it - it is a piece of cake to use!

### "New user, from a school using Argos in ad-hoc manner. Will have better feedback next year."

April 16, 2018

3.0

I'm not sure yet. I will have better info a 6 months to a year from now.

Pros

I like the potential of canned reports, scheduled emails, bursting. Have yet to implement these features.

Cons

Without better institutional support, it has been difficult to navigate on my own how to better use the software. We learned a lot from the conference and hope to be in a better place a year from now.

### "We currently use Argos for our adjunct faculty contracts and the process has been pretty smooth."

April 17, 2018

4.0

We had some turnover in our HR department, and without implementing the Banner FLAC process using Argos to generate e-mails and faculty contracts, I don't know what we would have done.

Pros

Once you have the dashboard set up, running programs is quite easy. I really like the ease of retrieving historical data and the way Argos keeps track of each step we make so that when a faculty member calls, we can quickly look to see that a contract was issued and an e-mail was sent.

Cons

You really need to have some technical background or experience to be able to understand how the fields and information comes together.

### "Single Office, not full enterprise/institutional product"

April 16, 2018

3.0

Pros

Affordable, great for a single user wanting to automate their processes, challenging to get it standardized across the entire organization

Cons

Lacks SAML security. CAS is not enough. Multi-Factor Authentication needs to be a minimum, especially if you are intending this to connect to a production database and write back into the database

### "The potential is great."

May 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I was very happy to find how knowledgeable technical support is. There wasn't a question that was'st ansnwered until it was clear.

Cons

I can only select one type of output at a time per report. Our users expect to have at least two types, a txt/pdf and an excel file.
