Go here to see a serious alternative to those two http://www.wizsoft.com/

I have seen WizWhy and WizRule at work and their results are superb. Problem is that it does not have a pusher in this region. In Israel it is the KING.
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

I use ACL and find it very powerful and almost everyone uses it. However I heard IDEA has dashboard capabilities that I would be interested in checking out. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Hi,

I have a question for those who have used both ACL and IDEA... I've been using ACL for a while and now trying out IDEA as a comparison. In IDEA, is there anyway we can change the column/field heading name(display name) without changing the field name? In ACL, to do this is very simple where you can just double click on a column name and set the alternate column title. It does not change the field name, just the display. I really need this functionality especially when dealing with database tables/files where the field name only have 4-5 character length and does not reflect its purpose.

Thanks.

Hiyo ni very simple bwana... right click in the collumn - > select field manipulation -> double click on the fieldname and edit as desired..

My opinion .. been using IDEA for a long time.. just started using ACL..and man is the thing unfriendly.. totally unintuitive...

working with IDEA is like working with Excel but with all the power of ACL

I prefer diving straight into the data with SQL , has the best possible manipulation of the data

I've used ACL and they are nothing compared to having total control of data using, i found ACL to be limiting. i hear IDEA is more like ACL so i havent tried it. ACL looks to me like excel with a bit more features .

SQL is a bit(not very) techie, but once you learn, it definitely worth it
