As they define themselves in google, Global Insight is the leading provider of global economic and financial intelligence, on the positive side we have to say that it provides a lot of economic information from countries (bare in mind that several countries have never got to record some kind of data or have begun to do so few years ago), that can be sorted in infinite ways because the data requested appear in a table under all the criteriums to find that information including and excluding columns such as title, region, the date when information started to be recorded so you can have in the screen strictly what you need, avoiding useless information that could lead to confusion. Moreover, there is still to say that you can also get graphs about the data selected and what is even more important, you can export the table directly to Excel. On the other side, we have to say that sometimes, data that are normally available simply dissapear as I experienced while I was practicing with this program in class, another problem that it has is that it logs out your session without any advise nor order to do so, that's why I recommend you to save your progress the more times you can the better, and finally often it just gets frozen in the opening screen and it does not run anymore and it must be shut down and rerun.

the librarian who explained this to us also said that it works well with either Firefox or Windows Explorer but it is not fully compatible with Chrome.
