Inforiver Analytics+ is the fastest way to visualize your data and share insightful stories in Microsoft Power BI as a Power BI Certified Visual. Analytics+ also enables large enterprises to migrate from Tableau, Spotfire, Qlik, Domo, Cognos, SAP Lumira, or their static PowerPoint dashboards from Think-cell or Mekko Graphics and consolidate them within Microsoft Power BI.
The intuitive, no-code user experience (UX) helps even casual users build dashboards and storyboards in minutes, with 100+ charts, Gantt, cards, and tables integrated into a single visual.
Inforiver Analytics+ is your one-stop visual with the best performance among all custom visuals. It can render 10x more data points compared to native Power BI (30K data points vs 1K - 3.5K data points). Inforiver Analytics+ is certified by IBCS and offers the greatest number of IBCS-certified templates, better performance, and flexibility over any other IBCS-certified software in the market.
