Reporting Software Reviews
InetSoft was founded in 1996, and since then its reporting software has been deployed at over 5,000 organizations from all parts of the world and has been embedded into solutions built by scores of technology providers targeted at any type of industry. See below some testimonials about why they chose InetSoft:
Saved Months of Development Time
"We selected InetSoft's Style Report Enterprise for its powerful and flexible application programming interface and for the light weight of the Web-based information access and presentation application. We saved months of development time associated with initial internal development and were able to launch applications faster than if the reporting solution were developed in-house." - Dhruv Gupta, Vice President of Product Management at AmberPoint (now Oracle)
Pleased With Deployment
"We selected InetSoft's Style Report Professional for a time-tested, dependable publishing engine and a powerful, yet easy-to-use report designer that would save resources associated with internal development of publishing capabilities and client customization requests. We were looking for a Java-based publishing solution that could be easily integrated with our own. We have been pleased with deployment, and the reporting software’s part in our ability to help companies of all sizes realize cost reduction and revenue acceleration associated with critical configuration and accurate quoting solutions." - Craig Christiansen, President-Technology at FPX
Reports in Seconds, Not Minutes
"Each application is data-rich, and our customers need easy-to-use, yet powerful, reporting and analysis capabilities. We have been particularly happy with the performance that embedding InetSoft's technology has delivered with reports running in seconds, not minutes, which has considerably enhanced the end-user experience -- while at the same time reducing the resource load in producing reports and greatly increasing throughput." - James McCormick, Project Leader at DSI
Advanced Business Reporting Tools
"With InetSoft’s Style Report, we are able to provide our customers with additional advanced business reporting tools to analyze data and make better business decisions. This strengthens the solutions we are able to offer P&C and workers’ compensation insurers." - Priscilla Hung, Vice President of Alliances at Guidewire Software
Significant Annual Savings
"Style Report’s powerful analytic tools and ad hoc reporting tools are the perfect complement to our market-leading risk management system. Giving our customers secure access to their critical business data in real-time provides them a considerable competitive advantage and equates to significant annual savings." - Juan Ramón Romero, CEO of Align Kpital
Impressed at the Speed
“We evaluated many reporting vendors and were most impressed at the speed with which the proof of concept could be developed. We found InetSoft to be the best option to meet our business requirements and integrate with our own technology.” - John White, Senior Director, Information Technology at Livingston International
A Deciding Factor in Some of Our Most Successful Sales
“ComTrac contains 280 reports, most of which can be run from custom selection screens, Web services, or from our custom Job Scheduler. If a customer cannot get to their data, it is a big problem. With the use of InetSoft's reporting tool, we have been able to not only meet the needs of our customers with simple reports, but with complex ones as well. Our ability to report effectively has been a deciding factor in some of our most successful sales and thus has allowed us to gain a tremendous benefit.” - Chris Bombei, VP of Sales & Delivery for Products at Fusion Alliance
Saved Months of Development Time
"We selected InetSoft's Style Report Enterprise for its powerful and flexible application programming interface and for the light weight of the Web-based information access and presentation application. We saved months of development time associated with initial internal development and were able to launch applications faster than if the reporting solution were developed in-house."
InetSoft’s reporting platform delivers a web‑based architecture that bypasses heavy custom build‑out for standard reporting functionality. Its flexible API supports embedding and custom integration, helping organizations get to live reporting faster. The solution handles both interactive and production reports within the same infrastructure, reducing duplication of effort. By cutting development time substantially, teams can redirect resources toward analytics rather than building plumbing.
Reports Run in Seconds, Not Minutes
"Each application is data‑rich, and our customers need easy‑to‑use, yet powerful, reporting and analysis capabilities. We have been particularly happy with the performance that embedding InetSoft's technology has delivered with reports running in seconds, not minutes, which has considerably enhanced the end‑user experience -- while at the same time reducing the resource load in producing reports and greatly increasing throughput."
The InetSoft engine optimizes query and rendering paths so that reports deliver quickly even on large datasets. The caching, data mashup and in-memory technologies minimize latency for end users. Embedders of the platform report much higher throughput for reports and reduced load on the backend systems. The result is smoother user experience and fewer bottlenecks in report delivery.
Pleased With Deployment and Cost Reduction
"We selected InetSoft's Style Report Professional for a time‑tested, dependable publishing engine and a powerful, yet easy‑to‑use report designer that would save resources associated with internal development of publishing capabilities and client customization requests. We have been pleased with deployment, and the reporting software’s part in our ability to help companies of all sizes realize cost reduction and revenue acceleration associated with critical configuration and accurate quoting solutions."
InetSoft offers a publishing engine that supports high‑fidelity formatting, brandable outputs, and scalable deployment across user tiers. The report designer is accessible to business‑level users, reducing dependency on IT for template changes and custom reports. Because output is modular and configurable, companies tackling quoting, operational or compliance reports can accelerate time‑to‑value. The cost savings stem from lowered development overhead and reduced maintenance of separate report tooling.
Reduce Our Reliance on IT
"The business case for this kind of self‑service reporting software was clear given the bottleneck we had in our data access processes. We needed to reduce our reliance on IT for basic access to information that our staff depends on to serve our members. We evaluated several options including developing a solution internally, but given the reasonable initial investment, broad functionality, and ease of use of the software, we chose InetSoft. We were particularly interested in the data grid caching technology built into the application, and we are excited to see the system in action."
With InetSoft’s self‑service capabilities, business users can build, modify or explore reports without waiting on IT. The data grid caching technology supports rapid query response and off‑loads heavy transformation work from the production database. This shift empowers operational teams to iterate and explore data themselves, shortening feedback loops. Over time fewer ad‑hoc requests to IT mean resources can focus on strategic rather than reactive work.
The Most Cost‑Effective Solution
“We evaluated a handful of options and ultimately chose InetSoft because it can be integrated into our Web‑based systems and because it will prove to be the most cost‑effective solution in the long‑run.”
InetSoft’s architecture is designed for embedded deployment and integration, which minimizes the need for costly custom development or third‑party adapter layers. Its licensing model emphasizes scalability and usage-based metrics rather than per‑user premium pricing, which can help organizations control long‑term costs. The unified platform covers dashboards, interactive reports, and production publishing, reducing the need for separate tools. By consolidating reporting and analysis functions, companies benefit from streamlined operations and lower TCO.
Flexibility With Great Training and Support
“Flexible product with great training and support. The product has been very useful for quickly creating dashboards and data views. Support and training has always been available to us and quick to respond.”
InetSoft invests in documentation, training modules and responsive support so that organizations can ramp up faster. The flexibility of the platform allows users to tailor dashboards and reports around their unique business processes rather than conforming to rigid frameworks. Quick access to support and best‑practice guidance ensures minor roadblocks don’t become major delays. The combination of flexibility + support increases user adoption and sustainability of the reporting initiative.
A One‑Person Team Can Outperform a Full BI Group
“I have been using this product for almost 2 years, and I find it simple to use and gives reliable results. I recently had a team trying to create a report for 2 weeks with another BI product. Since they couldn’t build what they needed they came back to me. I was able to get it for them in less than a day with InetSoft. I am a one‑person team getting reports to the business faster than the multiple‑person BI team can create them. I love this product!”
The drag‑and‑drop design interface and predefined templates of InetSoft enable even small teams or individual analysts to deliver quality reports rapidly. With fewer dependencies on IT developers, analytics velocity increases and backlog drops. The platform supports ad‑hoc exploration as well as production reports, bridging the gap between one‑off requests and scheduled outputs. This agility is particularly beneficial for organizations with limited BI staff but heavy reporting demand.
Highly Polished, Aesthetically Nice Dashboards
“There are many options for structuring your reports based on your system requirements, the product makes very aesthetically nice dashboards, it is versatile.”
InetSoft supports a rich visualization library and flexible layout engine to create branded, visually engaging dashboards and reports. Users can mix charts, tables, conditional formatting and interactive filters to tell a story—not just deliver data. The aesthetic appeal enhances user engagement, which often leads to broader adoption across departments. The versatility ensures the platform can serve executive summaries as well as operational scorecards.
Open to Easy Integration
“We use StyleBI as a BI platform for Data Warehouse systems which we design. The architecture which is open to easy integrations with other modules.”
Integration is central to InetSoft’s value proposition: it supports multiple data sources, JDBC/ODBC, Excel, and APIs, as well as embedding into existing applications. The Data Block™ mashup engine allows combining disparate sources without building custom ETL pipelines. That flexibility enables architects to extend analytics with minimal disruption to legacy systems. Organizations gain a future‑proof analytics backbone that adapts as data strategy evolves.
The Reporting System That Won Against 50+ Others
“I evaluated over 50+ Reporting Solutions such as Qlikview, Report Plus, Tableau, BIME, and Yellowfin to name a few. This one beat them all, it has a complexity that reminds me of Qlikview without the 3 Months of Training Required. With over 300+ agents, making a unique one for each was a pain in Zoho Reports. With this one, I was able to make 1 report with 1 user account.”
Choosing InetSoft after a broad evaluation shows the platform’s competitive strength in both capability and usability. It delivers enterprise‑grade reporting features without steep learning curves or resource burdens. The ability to service hundreds of agents with consolidated reporting helps scale analytics while simplifying maintenance. The result is a robust solution that wins on both functionality and operational efficiency.
