Product Director at Seaglass Cloud Technology

Our customers' operations are made easier by having up-to-date messaging

We mainly use the PDF rendering facility. The combination of the MS Word template and the passing of a JSON data object into a single simple REST API call that returns a PDF document is exactly what we required. The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool. The HTML rendering, in combination with our own AWS SES service, allows a very simple method of producing bespoke emails. The storage of templates within the product in a folder structure makes the rendering call simple and also allows for multiple environments to be catered for.

Strong layout and design capabilities; leverages every aspect available in Word-native formatting

The licensing key is a little bit twitchy. I'd like to see more HTML formatting support in templates. It has a basic stock of HTML formatting capability, but it doesn't have a rich vocabulary. I have to work around that sometimes. The help documentation and blog posts are extensive, but not always up to date. The error reports also need improvement. If you don't key it in right, it's a little hard to find the root cause. It gives you information as much as it can, but it doesn't really hone in and tell you explicitly what you should do to correct the problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance. And when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report."

"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template-based approach. Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them. The templates made it easy to make any changes to reports and provided flexibility in our design approach."

"Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance, and when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report."

"It's absolutely fantastic; it's much easier to design your reports, it's fast, it's efficient, it's been fantastic for us, and it comes highly recommended."

"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."

"Our business is in a hypergrowth phase, and Docmosis not only provided us with a powerful library for document generation that has accompanied our growth, but also with amazing support during this transition."

"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template based approach, and Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them, making it easy to change reports and providing flexibility in our design approach."

"Having a robust, simple, cost-effective rendering solution integrated into our own products increases our attractiveness to customers."

More Docmosis pros

"It's great; it's a good product, and for a relatively technical person, it's relatively easy to use."

"The most valuable features are the ability for it to be integrated into our software solution and the AutoTag tool that allows us to quite quickly create and update the templates themselves."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that it uses Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as base templates, so when you generate, it's easy for clients to upgrade, and maintain, and generate out either a PDF or an actual Excel spreadsheet."

"From an integration perspective, they provide the code for you to easily integrate with existing applications."

"It is very user-friendly, and the wizard and equation options, plus the ability to create PODs for reusable data points, save so much time when templates need to be created quickly."

"The two features that I like the best are the ability to generate Word and Excel documents, and the ability to create my templates directly inside those software sets. It's absolutely critical for me as a user to have design and layout control, because all of my reports are very, very customized. I have to have control over the ability to generate and to control what they look like."

"For the designer we use AutoTag which is a Microsoft Word plugin. In general, it's easy to use, it doesn't have a very steep learning curve. It's not difficult, for people who know Microsoft Office well, to start using the AutoTag tool... It feels just like you're in a Microsoft Office environment with some extra functionality."

"A part of our business is to produce static report which we give to our clients, and this product serves this purpose very well."

Cons

"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools. When report templates are complex, sometimes any minor modification needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it does not disrupt a previously designed template."

"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could also be a useful addition."

"The challenge in usage when we developed the reports four years ago was the limited logic that can be applied to manipulate and display data. That functionality was largely transferred over to the database layer in creating the data output that was to be displayed."

"It's still a bit complex to develop reports and because of that complexity, there are often mistakes that get made."

"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools."

"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could be a useful addition."

"It was much easier to implement than we thought. But because of the dependency on the open source/open office and having that installed and the fonts installed, it was a bit complex as we have to containerize everything."

"During the AWS S3 outage last year, we did lose access to Docmosis for about 3-4 hours."

More Docmosis cons

"It needs better support for upgrades and more control over layout of elements. Upgrades tend to break existing output. Elements do not position where expected due to insertion of blank lines and page breaks. It takes time to fix these through trial and error."

"It needs better support for upgrades and more control over layout of elements. Upgrades tend to break existing output."

"I have to deal with VERY long lists of properties contained in our XMLs and it would be nice if Windward offered a way to alphabetize this property list."

"The reason it took us so long to get the system up and running is that the APIs could be improved a bit."

"The tool does not support macOS documents."

"One thing that frustrated us a little bit is that we have to use the Office PDF generation, because the native PDF generation is always slightly different compared to the one in Office."

"One thing that frustrated us a little bit is that we have to use the Office PDF generation, because the native PDF generation is always slightly different compared to the one in Office. The formatting is just a little bit off here and there... This means that we need to have Office installed on the server to be able to generate these documents via API."

"There are some Excel formatting things that you lose when you implement a template: some default Excel validation scripts, macros. You could create them in Excel if you were just using Excel, but in creating a template that generates a report, some of those validation things are lost."

More Windward Core cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cloud and REST API models keep the setup costs low."

"Price bands are based on pages so ensure you have a good understanding of this if documents are of variable length."

"Pricing is something I complain about. Production pricing is okay, but for a testing environment the pricing looks a bit high to me."

"The only problem with the pricing of Windward is the limitation on the number of reports generated. It is costly in that sense. If you want to increase, you have to pay more, based on the number of reports generated per day. It is not the same with Crystal Reports. With the latter, you buy a license at one point in time and that's it."

"They are fair and flexible. They are willing to work with your current architecture to make sure you have the best deal."

"The pricing is fair. The way that they have it priced is the Windward Designer has a price that's associated with it. Then, depending on the number of cores that you're looking for, that is the price that you pay. The more cores that you want, the more expensive it is."

"I'm starting to hear clients squeal about the price of their software. The cost of the software has gone up."

"From my experience in this field, the product is reasonably priced, at least with the RESTful engine implementation. It's definitely not a cheap option. People say, "That's a fair amount of money to pay for a document generation tool." At the same time, you do get good functionality and the support is good."

"The cost is reasonable."

"Pricing is a bit higher than normal desktop applications, but it's well worth it. The ROI is simple to understand and the monthly payment for an annual license is affordable and worth it."
