One of crown jewels in our SaaS product
Historically we spent hundreds of dev man hours customizing templates every time a report needed tweaking. With Templater we gradually moved this task over to Customer Success and then finally, our customer's administrators / champions. It saves a lot of energy when customers themselves can try out tweaks to the templates without going through the change request process.
PROSMinimal API that we can extend, fast and not CPU/RAM intensive. Supports a ton of useful formats, primarily useful to us are Excel, Word and CSV. Ridiculously customizable, unparalleled flexibility.
CONSWhile editing a pre-made template is as very easy - literally editing an Excel to do minor tweaks or add new columns, it requires training to understand how to design a new report from scratch. The minimalistic approach is a doubly edged sword, since this simplicity has a learning curve when you want to deep dive into complex (e.g. nested, multi page) reporting.
Reason for choosing Templater
Excel/Word as tool for configuring templates.
Reasons for switching to Templater
We used Apache POI before, now we're still using POI but only for parsing (since Templater doesn't support reading documents, only generating them). It's a completely different class of product, the customers themselves are the ones configuring the Template. I have no idea how we would achieve this with our previous approach, except by recreating a poor-man's Excel/Word rich editor from scratch.

Good solution for automation of reports
Good solution for automation of reports
PROSMy team was tired of so much coding while building report layouts. So we found the automation needed when we started to use Templater in the past company I was a director of operations. We could convert the data into customised formats and monitor the huge excel files we often generated.
CONSI think that the interface is a bit confusing for starters however the customer service always worked greatly to attend to our needs.

Endless customization opportunities
Templater turns our reporting module functionality from a standardized-hard coded one, to a highly flexible and configurable one, empowering users to configure endless custom reporting and document templates, without the need for custom development.
CONSI think documentation could be improved to be made more accessible to less technical people: users are definitely underexploiting the full potential of the tool.

A clean and scalable way to generate reports
We've used Templater to generate financial and other sorts of reports, sometimes on-the-fly, for external customers. Though the external customers had a variety of formats and templates for these reports, it adjusted well to our needs, and did so at scale without much issue.
PROS* Document templates are easy to use and understand, after learning the basics, especially with additional Office Suite extensions that are available * Scales really well and works with large datasets * Can be extended in code by developers
CONS* The initial learning curve can be a bit difficult at first * No out-of-the-box PDF support

Using templater for teaching classes in software development and reporting
Very satisfied. Alows me to Cover more materijal with my students that improves their student assignements significantly, and allows them to be even more creative woth their solutions.
PROSThis is the ideal tool for teaching students that are not from the engineering background but business and economics about software development, reporting and documents automation
CONSAll the other solutions seem overly complicated in comparison, so there is very little i dont like about it. maybe more visual approavh to user interface to bring all the capabilities od templater even closer to ono-technical users...
Reason for choosing Templater
The alternative were specifically created for advanced engineering specialists. Not appropritae for inzroductory level students.
