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

"A new report’s template creation is very often manipulation of a user’s layout of a report. A report can be ready in a day or less, once stored procedures are created as per sections in the 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, 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."

"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."

"This is the cornerstone of our office's functionality, where people can create templates, create an offer template, and then a recruiter can just go into a couple of fields and they have a beautiful offer letter."

"There is flexibility in laying out tables that is akin to UI front-end design."

"My initial projections are that we have an 80% improvement in that process."

"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."

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

More Docmosis pros

"It has the ability to easily integrate into existing apps with little code. If you know how to use MS Office, you can create a report."

"They've been really helpful, from the account manager all the way through to the support people."

"For what you're getting, it's an extremely good value."

"Customer Service: Very good - I think they needed to be more up front of needing XYZ before you even submit as there was sometimes a bit and back and forth with questions around versions/correct XML etc."

"Creating dynamic table of contents (TOC) based on dynamic data in different reports."

"It provides very good-looking, flexible, and nice reports."

"For me so far the Windward document generation software is the preferred solution for creating documents."

"Technical support is very good. They reply immediately and follow-up with any questions."

More Windward Core pros

Cons

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

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

"We are facing new challenges such as internationalization. The next big challenge will be to offer even more date formats and numbers that cover the majority of countries."

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

"They don't always deliver what we ask, but they're very conscientious about responding to us."

"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."

More Docmosis cons

"It is software, so there are always times where things don't work."

"They could make the document creation performance faster. I'm not saying it's slow but it takes time to create the PDFs."

"The error reports also need improvement. If you don't key it in right, it's a little hard to find the root cause."

"Regarding AutoTag, we do notice that when you want to refactor a little bit of your template design or when you want to implement changes, sometimes you need a lot of clicks to get the change done. For instance... it would be helpful to be able to find all the identifiers with the old name and replace them with the new name. We haven't found a way to do that with the find-replace tool. Throughout the user-interface of Windward, you need a lot of clicks to get that done."

"AutoTag needs to be web-based, so our customers can create reports from our web."

"The tool does not support macOS documents."

"Requires some work on page numbers (footer) in Word, as it places the page number in the center, when output in PDF page number is more to right than center."

"As Autotag constantly upgrades it does more post processing on the documents."

More Windward Core cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"It is absolutely worth the value. They have flexibility, depending on what you're looking for from a buying standpoint. The current pricing models are quite flexible, with the ability to use it on an as-needed basis, or to get a perpetual license that covers a customer that might have extensive needs. I think it's pretty good."

"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."

"I can't advise anybody about pricing and licensing, but it was competitive. A lot of things we did look at were all volume-based, so it was a case of you buy a license to generate this many reports a year, and that's not something that I'm particularly interested in because it doesn't give you any idea - if we have future growth, or if we have a lean year - for budgeting reasons it's more difficult. With Windward it's a straight out license fee, whether we generate one page or we generate a million, it makes no difference."

"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."

"We negotiated our prices many years ago, and while they go up a little bit here and there, they've been pretty steady."

"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."

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

"CapEx fits our requirements, OpEx is higher due to the 20% service and maintenance cost, where we normally pay 15%."
