"Easy Integration - Good for business"
What do you like best about Fluent by Apryse?

Document generation is fast and accurate. By accurate I mean that what you see when you design the document in Word/ Powerpoint etc, it's exactly what you get. This ensures that there is less time spent ensuring that the output (visually) is what you wanted.

Very easy integration – In a few lines of code, you can be up and running.

Being able to use Microsoft Office as a template editor has been a key feature. In some of the other systems we have used, and certainly the more complex ones, creation of the document template needed to be done by a developer. What set Windward apart was that the templates could be designed by business analysts or marketing people who had little or no coding experience. This meant that we did not have to use expensive developers on template creation, or worse template changes– Better yet, I would get the client to manage their own templates. This is a massive cost saving. Using Microsoft office as the template editor allows Word, PowerPoint and Excel to be utilised, allowing for complex templates.

Winward has made it very easy to link to data sources making the development and testing of reports easy.

"Very Approachable Software With Helpful Team Behind It"
What do you like best about Fluent by Apryse?

I found it extremely easy to integrate my database into the program. Other reporting software seems far too strict/complicated when it comes to pulling in and manipulating data form a MySQL database while Windward was very easy and straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being that life happens and when you think you have time you can sometimes end up not having time, I would prefer to have a longer evaluation period. However, their support is willing to work with you on this making it not much of an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
