One of the best reporting components I have ever used

My ERP systems complete reporting runs using FlexMonster.

Pros

Extremely good service by the vendor. They do a lot of customization if required at extra cost.

Cons

Its more expensive compared to similar components in the market. But good things cost money!! Honestly the mission critical work our company does, we do not mind spending a little more provided we get what we want.

EMAsphere review

We have a very good customer feedback on the pivot component in our software, which is one of the most important feature they use.

Pros

Performant, easy to use and setup, we could integrate it easily in both our plain javascript product and our angular product, full filtering capabilities.

Cons

We had difficulties to propose a good pivot setup screen to our users, where they could build their own pivot based on the data they injected into our software. The amount of data is huge and cannot be loaded entirely in the browser component. So we implemented the custom source API, which was the only viable solution. It works, but the fact that all the aggregation is implemented on back-end side is an issue, IMHO. We do not cover all the functions available in flexmonster, and I believe it would have been better to be able to discuss with the server when setting up fields and filters (e.g. list of members comes from the server), but let flexmonster do the "live" aggregation job on the filtered data. In short, API is great, but it should also be able to handle a very simple "select" where the data is not aggregated by the server.

Good tool to visualize cube data.

Pros

Good for visualizing cube data. Able to handle large datasets from cubes. Export functionality is good.

Cons

Report should come with inbuilt subscription option. In report we should be able to view like average, stddev. Subreport feature would have been useful.

FlexMonster Web Reporting, Modern Tool for your ever changing needs

We replaced a whole reporting system with FlexMonster. Now we have a modern tool, very fast and easy to work with, with fantastic looks. New reports are being implemented in no-time, helping programmers respond faster to business needs, if business cannot create their own reports, which is rare.

Pros

Best in its class, ease of use, flexibility (hence the name), expanding features, best support for addressing needs for new features or learning about existing features. API is very easy to expand, customize. Offers support for all modern frameworks, latest version of Angular for example.

Cons

Some of the the interface implementations are still limited because of company wanting to keep backward compatibility with earlier versions...that is slowly changing though. Charting capabilities can be better, although other charting products can be embedded easily. Would love to have the best charting in-product, though.

Great Value and features Everybody (Developers, Users, Sales)

They have always been very responsive, we collaborated with flexmonster team when the real time was implemented, we provided usecases and very rapidly the feature was added exceeding our expectation.

Pros

It is extremely ESASY to implement development side, just few lines of code and you can start delivering VALUE immediately! From the user stand point It is almost self explanatory, users need very basic training and within hours of work they start gathering very valuable insights to the information. Performance is great!

Cons

The date sorting is always been a bit confusing where the dates are automatically split into year, month, day. Sometimes we simply want them to be as is and for that we end up using a "string" column type. When that feature was added it caused a bit of issues, do understand the value of it and that some use cases favor one or the other, probably best can be switched easily.
