Jet Report is highly Flexible!
- It uses a familiar language that most accounting professionals are comfortable with due to the nature of their work, Excel based formulas. The proprietary aspects the tool uses to query a data set are really easy to learn.
- The scheduling tools to run large reports a over night or when there is low volume of users is a great way to limit the number of active licenses needed for ERP applications.
- Connection via the ODBC standard allows easy access to a wide verity of databases with ease. This helps configuration and implementation time dramatically.
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.
