Product review of InfoNgen
Jinfo Report

13th April 2018

Abstract

We last reviewed InfoNgen, the web monitoring and aggregation service, in 2013 and in this fresh new review we revisit the product to see what's changed.

The InfoNgen discovery portal is a semantic web discovery platform that provides content discovery and text analytics solutions for competitive and market intelligence teams across a wide range of industries. According to the company, its search capabilities are what makes this product stand out and is driven by its semantic tagging engine, which applies tags to the content metadata in its native language.
