"A new report’s template creation is very often manipulation of a user’s layout of a report. A report can be ready in a day or less, once stored procedures are created as per sections in the report."
"There is flexibility in laying out tables that is akin to UI front-end design."
"Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance. And when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report."
"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."
"Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand."
"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template-based approach. Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them. The templates made it easy to make any changes to reports and provided flexibility in our design approach."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The challenge in usage when we developed the reports four years ago was the limited logic that can be applied to manipulate and display data. That functionality was largely transferred over to the database layer in creating the data output that was to be displayed."
"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could be a useful addition."
"We are facing new challenges such as internationalization. The next big challenge will be to offer even more date formats and numbers that cover the majority of countries. It will be to also think about features, such as number to text conversion, or the reverse which is currently only available in English but is in great demand by our international customers."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools. When report templates are complex, sometimes any minor modification needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it does not disrupt a previously designed template."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
