SharePoint is a nice tool, however, it requires a lot of effort to create the forms and code for pulling in data if it's not within SharePoint itself. Maintenance of reports will require SharePoint knowledge as well. Windward removes many obstacles in traditional report …

We loved the MS Word integration over other options (for instance Crystal Reports).

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.

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 …

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.

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 …

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.

Truthfully when I came to AmWINS this was the only product that they had as an add on to Excel. I did not do any research before coming here. I also did not know what AutoTag Template Designer was before coming here but I enjoy working with it in Excel and Word.

Great for Technical Users. It's great for people a bit more on the technical side. It allows developers to quickly create and modify reporting templates without having to modify source code or make updates to a repository. Potentially Difficult for Non-Technical Users. Making substantial changes to the data portions of reporting can be a bit difficult for non-technical users. While Windward's tools for this are great, it still requires an understanding of the database schema which not all users will have.

Native Office output -- not nested tables and/or horrible RTF like other tools generate.
Ease of use -- once the data sources are set up, creating tables is as simple as drag and drop (okay, maybe not exactly that simple, but you can certainly create a table of data using drag and drop, then format it and manipulate it as needed).
Responsive developers and support -- when I've had questions, they've been addressed VERY quickly and professionally.

For the most part, the Windward report designer is intuitive for our users; but there are a few areas where it is less intuitive. In these cases, our users need to search Windwards support wiki site, or even contact their support technicians. This can also be due to the short time we've had Windward and our lack of knowledge.

Support is something they take pride in. Once an issue is raised, they are quick to respond and provide details on a fix. No complaints on support here.
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 curve. After consideration of ease of use, as well as a cost-comparison between different products, Windward Studios was the most suitable product to meet our needs.
