Rapid Insight makes complex data integration and predictive modeling easy for both experienced programmers and non-programmers alike. The interface is intuitive and is a quick climb up the learning curve. The prior reviewer no longer works at my institution and in fact never worked with any of the Rapid Insight products, so he is in no position to comment. I have been working with their software for 6 years now and plan on being a customer for a long time.
By the way their customer support and service has far exceeded both expectations and any equivalent vendor experiences I've had in the past

Nada. I have no constructive critique to provide at this time

Rapid Insight is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. It is a powerful tool for the statistically and programmer savvy, but just as powerful for someone with little to no experience working with data or with only drag and drop computer ability. I appreciate Rapid Insight's flexibility in its ability to run big and small jobs and the ability to keep track of the exact parameters used when reporting on data. One of my biggest challenges at work prior to purchasing Rapid Insight was responding to data request that asked a question in a slightly different manner or using slightly different parameters. Rapid Insight makes it simple to tweak and adjust queries. I can also build quick reports during meetings to respond to questions with something beside "I'll get back to you on that".

This is not a data visualization tool. If you want slick-looking reports, you need to do additional work, though Rapid Insight does seamlessly interface with Tableau, if you have that software. You can also use the data outputs to build graphs and charts in Excel and then refresh the data/charts on demand or on specific time intervals through Rapid Insight timer exports.
Recommendations
Get the software. You can use Rapid Insight for big jobs, like running models for retention or enrollment. But it is also really useful as a daily tool for answering ad hoc data requests and also for just organizing disparate data sources. It truly is an important tool int he Business Analytics toolkit, as its ease of use makes one more comfortable with asking questions and giving answers. It lowers the bar for entry into the world of "Big Data".

Pros
What used to take a programmer a week to finish, our office can now do in less than one hour. Additionally, to make changes, we can easily adjust filters instead of sending the project back to IT.
Cons
The interface isn't super pretty, but the results make up for the difference. I wish reports could be exported into Power BI. I hear the company is working on that functionality.
