I particularly like for his different conception of reporting with the areas subdivided into sections as "groups" that comes out a bit from the concept of a paged sheet but different reasons must be made keeping in mind how the group behaves. Surely one of the best reporting systems. Excellent pixel perfect. > > **Cons**: Just its peculiarity of having the sections divided and divisible by "groups", makes the drafting of the report a little more complicated, but it is something that is understood and you can easily manage it by working day after day. For the rest I think he has no particular points to the detriment of his duty and does it well. > > Knowledge on reporting systems and different point of view on several platforms. ----- ### "Good reporting solution for small and medium enterprise" — 3.0/5 > **Daniel** | *5 May 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to create nice report and connect to a multiple data source.
