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.
Reasons for choosing Flexmonster Pivot Table
Despite its very high price for us, the set of functionalities and the high performance of the tool was very important to us. Also, the fact it was available for plain JS and Angular made it a no-brainer
Reasons for switching to Flexmonster Pivot Table
The sencha pivot component was obsolete, very slow, and not compatible with our move to Angular

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.
Reasons for choosing Flexmonster Pivot Table
Easier implementation in modern Angular framework, broader range of features.
Reasons for switching to Flexmonster Pivot Table
Looks, new report implementation meant too much custom code.

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.

Flexmonster is a great tool if you want an in-built browser-based pivot table.
Lets me offer sophisticated data manipulation and visualization features to my customers.
Pros
Flexmonster is fantastic at what it does. It allows us to offer sophisticated data manipulation to our clients. Also, their support is knowledgeable, efficient and very pleasant. I would recommend Flexmonster for anyone looking for a simple, efficient and powerful no-frills BI solution.
Cons
I would like to see more aggregation functions e.g. median, variance, skewness e.t.c. I would also like to see more options for charts integrated directly into Flexmonster such as area charts, frequency polygons e.t.c. The cost can be a bit of a challenge, especially for SaaS, but the product delivers quite well on value.

Greatest pivot control i've tried so far, really a value for the money
I can analyze the data fast
Pros
Support, performance, price are the best feature of this. I can pivot thousands of record locally grabbing from my non-CDN data source, which is great.
Cons
I cannot tell any cons for this product yet. I have been using this for several months and every use case I have are catered!

Great dynamic pivot table reporting tool - currently using v2.6
We moved over to using Flexmonster as our previous solution (Contour Cubes) was no longer available, and this has proved to be a great investment. Our customers certainly love the way that they can easily analyse and extract their data
Pros
We use the pivot table module from Flexmonster as a great integrated reporting tool which allows us to easily generate dynamic pivot (cube) reports in our web based solution for our customers. This allows our customers to easily filter, slice and dice their Sales, Stock and Ticketing data to assist them with running and improving their business. The ability to convert grid data into charts, and export the data to various formats including Excel and CSV. Printing of flat reports are a thing of the past now.
Cons
We have found some issues with filters not reducing the contents of other filters, but we have been told that this request has been passed to Flexmonster development.

Industry Standard For Support
Pros
There are many positives to Flexmonster, from their detailed documentation, fair and reasonable pricing, impressive and feature packed product to their steady flow of upgrades and updates. However, the value for money here is their industry leading support team. Their team show an unrivalled willingness and care to help you with any enquiry, which I haven't found anywhere in any other industry!
Cons
There really isn't anything to dislike here, perhaps a few features that are missing, but with time and suggestion I'm sure they will be integrated

Response from Flexmonster
Thank you for choosing our product! We do hope you enjoy using it and are always here for you to help with that.

Good value for the money
Pros
The software is robust, easy to integrate and pretty flexible. Excellent support.
Cons
The OLAP based version lacks some features (eg: is pretty limited regarding the definition of calculated fields/columns by the user). Also the were some architectural drawbacks that impacted performance and we had to implement some custom features in order to compensare for this.

Outstanding tool to accelerate reporting functionality!
We were able to add Flexmonster to our web product as our primary reporting engine with minimal effort. Although we only have basic reporting enabled for now, we will continue to expand functionality and leverage more of the features of Flexmonster (Pivot reports, grouping, charting, etc) over time. This is a fantastic tool for a great price. We are very happy with our decision to buy this product!
Pros
Out of the box, this tool is super easy to setup and get working for basic use cases. There are *TONS* of options to configure and the ability to save/load report definitions make it easy for end users to customize reports exactly the way they want.
Cons
Sometimes having so many options to configure can make it a chore to get a report working just the way you want.

Flexmonster
Pros
At ONE, we found Flexmonster very useful for building custom pivots against our data warehouse. It is relatively inexpensive from a cost perspective, and rich in features. We have found both the "raw CSV" pivot useful, as well as plugging in a custom REST API to hit our data warehouse.
Cons
No specific complaints - Flexmonster has been effective for our usecase.

Cons
I have been using the product for 1 year and I don't have any cons, there are some nice to have features that I would like them to include, like "percentage to a parent" when expanding or drilling rows

Powerful tool to enrich any web application requiring a high-level degree of report configuration
Pros
We use Flexmonster to give our end-users the possibility to analyze the operations with the Pivot Table feature, in a similar way to what they already use to do with Excel, and they highly appreciate this! The reporting can be highly customized (filters, dimensions, calculated fields, sorting, conditional formatting, etc.). The integration is very easy, and the system performance is excellent. The customer support provides prompt answers.
Cons
I'd suggest Flexmonster to invest a bit more on the chart configuration in order to let it be more comparable to Excel (e.g. min-max axis), but I trust them and we see that they are working a lot on keep improving the tool :-)

I would like to see a section in which It demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of source. Use the compressordb source, but when it has a problem and does not receive an answer the plugin remains loaded
