Jet Reports vs. Spreadsheet Server

Jet Reports is well suited whrn you have all the data handy in excel files. But it gets a little tricky if you want to get the live data from social media or any other channels. I wish it had a better integration abilities with other websites or/and channels

Spreadsheet Server eliminates the need for custom reports from an outside provider in Vista that can be manipulated and customized to your company. It is easy to use and customize for a user who is familiar with Excel. There is no need to dump data out of your ERP system in order to create reports.

• Licensing is at times a challenge if you are using a Citrix remote desktop or remoting into a server.
• For complex formulas the wizard could provide more contextual help.
• More online documentation would be a big help for new users.

• The only issue that we came across, is that not all of our companies have the same financial structure as each other. So the GLs we use for one report, would not necessarily work for all the other companies. We did not want to create separate reports for each company either. We did find a workaround in that we created a lookup tab with GLs to use for each category for each company, then used v-lookup to pull those GLs over. This workaround worked great, but it would have been nice to have something built in to cover this.

Because it is not the costliest tool in this category but it serves the purpose. It is easy to use, cost effective, and works really well with the data stored on cloud. It has wide range of dashboard templates which go really well with different types of data sets. I would love to use it agains and again

Previously, we used Vista's Financial Manager for our financial reporting needs. It was not user-friendly and required many hours of training to get the most out of the reporting system. Very little training needed for Spreadsheet Server. If you know Excel, you can figure it out.
