Review on Advectus Solutions by William Turner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This product is built from the ground up as a database, with little integration with other applications.

As always, there is something to dislike. The product is built from the ground up as a database, with little integration with other applications. There are no reports or dashboards, no ability to create forms. It's difficult to see how this product would meet the needs of a dealership that does not have any significant amount of software currently. I'm an experienced programmer who has used many reporting tools over my career. None come close to the simplicity and power offered by Crystal Reports. If you don't want complex queries and advanced features, then it may work for your type of application. For those looking for more than just SQL Reporting, though, this won't do.

Pros
  • Can generate a good variety of charts including scatter plots, line graphs, bar charts, etc.
  • Has a very intuitive user interface, even for non-developers
Cons
  • No formatting, no form creation, etc.
  • Its charts don't really show anything besides basic values (percentages) and the user has to go through and add the actual values manually.
