Fast ReportsReviews of fast-report.com

We use Fast Reports from more than 20 years in Delphi. We are happy from the product and the services. Wich update give us more options to improve our products.

I Have Been using some other reporting tool before for long time ago since 1998 and i just purchase the Fast Reports just two days ago to be honist it didnt take me long to get used to it and also it was very easy to design and intigrate to my application i really liked it also their support is very helpfull

We had used the default report writer that came with Delphi many years ago, and it was slow, clunky, and bulky. Moving to FastReport, even though we had to pay for that, was a great move. Much better integration with our code, all compiled right into the exe so there were no deployment issues, and a quite nice integrated designer. We never came across a reporting need which it couldn't handle.

We have been using FR for DELPHI for 15 years. We are glad it has open source code, because we have heavily modified it to suit our needs. We use it to create all customer and internal documents. Delphi version lacks advanced PDF export features, though - .NET version of FR has far better PDF export engine than Delphi. It can't, for example, overlay PDF pages over one another... We had even encountered and proposed solution to a bug that was promptly resolved in a following version. We use report designer (integrated into our ERP system), SDAC connector, variants and variables. We don't use scripting in FR too much (we use FastScript elsewhere, though).

I am using this tool since version 4 and I am very happy with it. Currently I am using FR 6 in many projects. Alternatively I am also using ReportBuilder, but Fast-Report for me is much more flexible than RB is. Using the same component for static text, database values etc. is for me one of the key features that makes Fast-Report unique to me. Currently I struggle a bit with "end user reporting" but together with the quick and competent support I am sure, this will be solved immediately. Fast Report does exactly what I need and it does it REALLY fast.
