Ericsoft switched to ActiveReports after running into licensing, performance and support issues

"We were using Crystal Reports XI as our main report engine. Due to licensing problems, Crystal Reports doesn't offer an editor. It also has a massive setup that sometimes doesn't work.

This lead us to search for an alternative, and ActiveReports did all we needed a report engine to do. ActiveReports was lightweight, fast!!! and offered a working editor for its reports. The licensing system is great.

We also received technical support both directly and indirectly (via other postings) through the support forums. This benefit was also missing in case of Crystal Reports."
