Best Alternatives to Exago & Why You Should Consider Migrating

Exago has become the latest company to join the umbrella of Insight Software, where they will be absorbed into the Logi Analytics product offering. A big congrats to all the companies involved in the acquisition!  

What, you might ask,  does the future look like for Exago users? The promise of more analytics capabilities is enticing for their customer base, what let’s take a look at what that actually means. 

Exago integrating with Logi Analytics

Ease of use

Exago is primarily known for its embedded business intelligence solution that aims to deliver on promises of self-service and ease of use. 

When combined with Logi Analytics, a business intelligence solution known for the emphasis it places on technical capabilities, users can expect additional (and unforeseen) complexities.

Additionally, the level of self-service will undoubtedly be lost a bit in favor of deeper technical integrations. While this is unlikely to affect large teams with an abundance of technical resources, small to mid-sized organizations are likely to encounter some headaches. 

Upgrades

If the loss of end-to-end self-service wasn’t enough, the acquisition means you can all but forget about consistent product upgrades and feature improvements. 

Why?  Insight Software is notorious for being a serial acquirer that elects to focus on sales instead of product development. 

f you’re looking for a company to listen to your requirements and adapt the product to meet future needs (which, let's be honest, is everyone these days), it’s probably a good idea to look for an alternative to Exago ASAP.

Support

With most of Exago’s technical team being dissolved, what remains is a select few sales-driven employees. So, if you’re looking to get advice or support for technical issues related to the product, you will be forced to talk to someone who has less experience and knowledge of the product than you do. 

And yes, with the additional technicalities of the platform and a transition to a new environment, customer support should be more emphasized than ever. Exago getting added technical difficulties and transitioning to a new environment, now is the time that customer support is critical. If you don’t want to be left with half a product that you can’t make heads or tails off, you need to find a replacement analytics solution that fits your needs.
