Overall Satisfaction with Java Reporting Engine
Windward Java Reporting Engine is a wonderful tool for reporting for Java applications. Currently I use it for the rapid elaboration of reports with special requirements, which allows to have a formidably fast engine to elaborate all type of reports without the wastage of time that involves the elaboration of reports in other engines more generalized in Java.
- Fast and direct report engine, using friendly templates through an add-in for Microsoft Word.
- Adequate support and documentation to ensure a quick integration
- Your template designers dont need to learn Java at all. They can work through Microsoft Office
- The learning curve can be a nuisance, considering that currently Jaspers is the antonomic engine for Java
- There is a price (not so expensive) so yeah thats always a cons.
- Many customers currently use Jaspers, so migration can become a point to consider
- TIBCO Jaspersoft and SAP Crystal Reports
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 divide the work better without the need of technical restrictions, I support WindWard.
