Overall Satisfaction with Windward Studios

We use Windward Studios to automate a certain amount of mandatory/regulatory reports that need to be delivered and approved on tight deadlines.
Windward enables us to quickly provide robust and detailed data reports for our clients and regulators. Given that templates can be designed directly in Microsoft products, preparing templates becomes very easy with minimal coding. We are very happy with this product and use it company-wide.
  • User-friendly, amazing UI integrated into Microsoft products, no steep learning curve.
  • Generates large and complex reports at great speeds.
  • Windward has a great and very responsive support team. Every request or question will be answered in a timely manner.
  • Support for multiple data sources.
  • Lack of documentation regarding the Windward Java Reporting Engine (Linux implementation).
  • Error messages could be more elaborate/precise.
  • Windward Studios is filled with features at half of the cost compared to other tools.
  • Designing and automating reports with Windward makes the whole process shorter saving a lot of man-hours.
Windward's Designer (AutoTag) is directly integrated into Microsoft product making the creation of templates very user-friendly. Once parameters and data-sources are defined, AutoTag can easily be used by non-programmers for designing large or complex reports. They also have a range of detailed documentation available and a help menu integrated into the tool, making it even easier.
Our company produces lots of mandatory and regulatory reports which are large and complex. Our reports contain a lot of data which is stored in an Oracle Database. Windward allows us to easily use the data in the Oracle DB and produce those reports directly from MS Word. The data-source connector also supports Views and Oracle functions which makes the process even simpler/lighter.
