Maintenance of reports will require SharePoint knowledge as well. Windward removes many obstacles in traditional report … Incentivized Helpful?

Bharati Sadhwani-Tully Senior Software Developer in Engineering at Baker Hill (Banking, 51-200 employees) Chose Windward Core Unfortunately, I was not involved in the research process when selecting Windward, so I can't speak to the alternatives. However, it has worked out very well for us. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Windward Core Prior to Windward, we were using an HTML to PDF conversion for our reporting solution. It required substantial development to create and modify our reports and the styling was never up to our standards. Windward has certainly helped decrease our time in developing and … Incentivized Helpful? Greg Snyder Director of Software Development in Information Technology at July Business Services (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Windward Core Most reporting solutions do not allow for an easy mix of static and dynamic content. Windward is a great reporting solution for this. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Windward Core SSRS and crystal report Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Windward Core We evaluated several other products to integrate with our new software, but Windward Studios was an obvious standout above the majority. Other applications required some level of software development knowledge and experience to create templates and a much steeper learning … Incentivized Helpful? Randy McLachlan President in Product Management at Municipal Data Services Inc (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Windward Core Based on our need for easy user template manageability and a scalable report engine, Windward Studios was an obvious choice.

Incentivized Helpful? Larry Grady Senior Software Engineer in Information Technology at Solas Technologies, LLC (Information Technology and Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Windward Core Again, it's been so long since I've used another reporting tool it would be hard for me to say. I just know we used a couple of components, and their report designers never offered the simplicity of designing a report directly in an MS Office document. Incentivized Helpful? Miguel Angel Merino Vega Analista de Sistemas in Information Technology at Consultor independiente de software (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose Windward Core A weak point of WindWard is its antiquity compared to other tools already positioned within the globe of software developers. However, a critical success factor is the ease and speed to get results, and in that WindWard has a good advantage. For this reason and to be able to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Windward Core I have never used a alternative but i have peers who have used Dundas. The speed and flexability of Java Reporting Engine is much greater that that of Dundas. This had a big part to play with the Java Reporting Engine syncing with out backend much easier. Incentivized Helpful? Brent Rossow Business Data Analyst in Information Technology at FPX, LLC (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Windward Core Each tool in our kit has its strengths and weaknesses. When we need to build complex reports and native Microsoft Office output is a secondary (or less) consideration, we turn to tools from Jaspersoft or InetSoft, which are great for building complex reports but are frankly … Incentivized Helpful?

Christopher Thorndike software developer in Information Technology at AmWINS (Insurance, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Windward Core Truthfully when I came to AmWINS this was the only product that they had as an add on to Excel.
