OpenText Magellan is very powerful for custom reporting
- Ability to connect to different kinds of sources, including web services, and customize those queries to the extend needed
- Provide tools to customize the look & feel of the reports as much as needed, even being able to choose different appearances for different outputs
- Allowing scripting in the reports extends the functionality available
- Allowing to embed reports without further licensing and maintaining all the functionality
Cons
- The documentation on all the available features, but most importantly on the scripting side, can be improved
- The standard look & feel of some basic options, like parameter selection or sorting and filtering, looks dated and can't be customized
- The server portal needs to provide better tools
- More integration is needed with other OpenText products
