Jet Reports vs Phocas Business Intelligence

Likelihood to Recommend

Jet Reports is better suited if you have a specific population set you are looking at and less suited when querying or summing large pools or data, records, etc. I use a combination of Jet & SQL syntax when performing the latter because it allows me to harness the speed of our SQL server. Jet allows more for more customization when bodes better for users.

Cons

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.

[Jet Reports is] So much better. Jet Reports works with Excel so you can use a base knowledge of something everyone is familiar with to create any kind of report possible - not only single reports but cross referencing other report and data tables.
