Review on DBxtra Report Designer by Macaiah Arreola

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great data visualization tool! But not that user friendly

The thing I liked best about this report designer was its multiple feature comparison chart between SSRS vs RDXs that helps to decide which one i want for my data manipulation needs rather than deciding myself from different vendors! Honestly there's not much but it would be great if they included custom icons & font types like what you get in visual studio as well so we dont have to go searching through google images each time! Please consider adding options where an average user should choose how he wants his graphs/report displayed instead making users guess themselves by providing too many features with no option left after choosing any of them!! This will encourage our clients to come directly towards us once their queries are solved and thus earn more revenue for myself!! Also add some sample screens showing how simple creating charts / diagrams / barplots etc using the same software could look similar when created via 2 distinct softwares :1) ssrs2): rdx3). It's very user friendly as it allows you to create your own templates for common report types which makes my job easier when I need to send out monthly invoices etc. The customer service team are not always at their best with issues so be prepared! There could also do more work around customising some aspects such reporting. We use dbxrpdn in our organisation where we have multiple subsidiaries across different countries using one database (SQL Server).
