Why ATM is a Better Alternative to Custom Reports
|
Could I build reports on my own or
use an unpredictable shareware reporting product? You sure could, but depending
on your needs you wouldn’t be spending your time and money wisely. With ATM you
get everything you need out of the box on an enterprise class software
platform. One of our customers paid for Crystal Reports, paid for Crystal
training and spent many hours building reports. And after all that wasted money
and effort they still couldn’t get the reports they needed. Here are four
additional reasons why ATM is a better choice versus custom
reports.
 It can take many hours to design,
build and test custom reports. With ATM, generate new reports in a few minutes
with no coding and save them in templates for reuse. And you won’t have the
pain of maintaining custom code.
ATM provides pre-built starter
templates for important reports like monthly server resource consumption
trending.
Many of our customers have said they
wasted a lot of time trying to integrate Crystal Reports with Active Directory.
ATM offers integration with Active Directory out of the box so you can run
reports against user groups or individual users.
If you have to go to another
department or hire a consultant to build Crystal Reports, the cost adds up
quickly. And at the end of the day you only have reports needed now. You have
to start the process over again when you are asked to create more reports.
And besides being able to generate reports without writing a line of code, ATM
also offers an integrated scheduler, email distribution and predefined exports
to PDF, HTML, XML and Excel. To see how ATM features stack up against
developing custom Crystal Reports as well as what Resource Manager offers,
