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

"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."

"By going down the path of using Docmosis with templates it’ll be a lot easier to maintain control and consistency than if it was done through HTML."

"Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand."

"It allows documents to be designed without needing a developer or a web designer; anybody who has expertise in Microsoft Word can do this kind of thing, or even the customer themselves could easily format the document to make changes."

"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."

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

"It is a straightforward, cost-effective solution for rendering PDF documents that saved us time and money due to its ease of use, Java API, and clear documentation."

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

More Docmosis pros

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

"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."

"Ease of use and design reporting templates is straightforward with usage of standard MicrosoftWord package."

"Customer Service: As good as the product is, the customer service is even better."

"Since we moved from using a self-built reporting engine to a hybrid engine which uses the Windward solution as its primary reporting engine, running out new reports is significantly quicker, meaning we can get new reports to customers far more quickly."

"Some of our clients are looking at the nested filtering which is coming out. That's going to be a huge benefit for them because they're going to be able to nest and loop while they're also looking at filtering out certain data elements."

"Thanks to Windward, our documents need very few tweaks and are usually customer-ready right out of the box."

"With Windward, it's the full package; it's a piece of software that solves immediate business needs and it's a business partner I can trust."

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

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

"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."

"Right now, the product can be a little finicky with background images, sort of how the tabs work when you try to underline something."

"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."

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

"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."

More Docmosis cons

"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."

"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."

"I'm still working in Office 2016, and we have had some issues, but Windward is very quick to react when there is a problem. We are also going to switch over to Office 365 and that will solve a few of the problems."

"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."

"It needs the ability to drill down in a single report (i.e., interactive) into data."

"Is there any way to avoid AutoTag loading in Word/Excel each time? I need to use it from time to time - quite rarely. AutoTag affects performance of Word/Excel. I do not want to install/uninstall AutoTag each time I need it."

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

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

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."

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

"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."

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

"Windward is very expensive when the volume of documents being generated is low and it is cheap when the volume is high."

"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."

"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 cost is reasonable."

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