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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."

"It's easy to create templates and reports using Microsoft Word, so we don't have to learn something new to create a template. That makes it very user-friendly... they have integrated the product with Microsoft Word. People can easily start working on it without too much training."

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

"The ultimate feature is the product it produces. The ROI around that saves hours and hours. It's probably about a hundred days per year. The time savings and the ability to turn it around quickly pleases our customers."

"Managing templates through MS Word, as non technical users can manage output."

"A useful, easy to use product, which has a lot of features for designing reports."

"The engine being able to sit inside of our firewall is the most important feature."

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

More Windward Core pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

More Docmosis cons

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

"Initial learning curve seems steep at first, but it does click into place after viewing a few of the free webinars that Windward offer."

"The only problem with the pricing of Windward is the limitation on the number of reports generated."

"I would like to see examples included within the Wiki information to show how each function option could be used."

"Sometimes automated reports don't generate - seems to be completely random."

"The tool does not support macOS documents."

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

"It would be nice to have a black-and-white, ideal setup for servers, to maximize capabilities. We went through a lot of scenarios to get something that is scalable. An ideal AWS-package server setup could have saved us a lot of time. But I understand this is very company specific."

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 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."

"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%."

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

"The cost is reasonable."

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

"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."

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