Overall Satisfaction with Windward Studios
Windward Studios was being used to create custom reporting for SaaS administrators clients. Both our administrators and our clients have different reporting needs and Windward allows each user to create and modify their own report templates based on their specific requirements. Windward reduces the time required for custom report creation and modification.
- Windward handles multiple reporting template formats using tools people are already familiar with. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel are particularly useful for us.
- Windward has great technical support. Questions and issues are always answered in a timely manner.
- Windward has multiple pricing options which were helpful for us in getting started.
- I would like to see more organized and up to date documentation and videos for setup and training.
- It depends on your particular setup and requirements, but our particular setup required a separate Windows server to run the Restful Engine. A cloud-based web-service that Windward maintains would be preferred.
- While Windward's Microsoft based tools are great, they can be a bit intimidating to non-programmers at first glance.
- I believe developers are still helpful for modifying and creating Windward documents, but Windward helps tremendously in reducing the time required for such changes.
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 modifying reports and has also helped us greatly improve the styling of them as well.
