Warren Besore feels ActiveAnalysis is more intuitive and better integrated with Visual Studio than competing products

"I purchased the data analysis product because it has more intuitive features and better integration with Microsoft Visual Studio than competing products. Thanks to the new ActiveAnalysis 2 version with Silverlight support and the improved documentation, I plan to begin using it in several of our systems."

TallySoft uses ActiveReports, Data Dynamics Reports and ActiveAnalysis for all their reporting and BI needs

"In the previous version of our product, we used Crystal Reports and ActiveReports. Crystal was an un-stable nightmare while ActiveReports was solid and easy for our developers to design.

When moving to .Net/ASP we wanted the same stability while adding a report designer and interoperability with Microsoft RDL (if possible). After researching competitors we felt comfortable that Data Dynamics Reports was the best choice. The added ActiveAnalysis product looked good as well so we purchased both. However, we have not yet implemented ActiveAnalysis.

We are currently designing with Data Dynamics Reports and find the same consistent quality and reliability that we experienced with ActiveReports. There are some features that we would like to see (open the designer interaces more to the developers instead of the Black Box) but overall we are comfortable that we made the right choice."

ActiveAnalysis allows InfoPlanIT's users to go beyond reporting with ad hoc data analysis

"Our solution allows users to analyze real time data and discover anomalies in their transaction data. The Data Dynamics Analysis (soon to be ActiveAnalysis 2.0) product allows our users to rediscover their data in a way that no reporting product can do.

The value that it delivers after learning how to use it is invaluable. Users are able to build charts and spreadsheets with very little effort. Our clients that know how to use the shelves and markings absolutely love it. They can easily build charts and spreadsheets by dragging and dropping database columns on the display."

Daniel Reber, Precision.BI on ActiveAnalysis and Data Dynamics Reports

"In the case of Data Dynamics Analysis (now ActiveAnalysis 2), not only can end users view the data in both numbers and graphs, but we can easily modify the size, color, and other features of graphs to help them quickly grasp what's happening. No other component can do that."

"In the case of Data Dynamics Reports, it is the quickest way available to create reports, and you don't need to be a programmer to do it."

Precision.BI considers the products and the technical support key factors in their success

"If I had had to create the entire solution from scratch, without the help of GrapeCity components, I simply wouldn't have been able to do it."

"Pretty much all our plans involve Data Dynamics Reports, Data Dynamics Analysis (now ActiveAnalysis 2), and ActiveReports, plus we may use other components as they come out. With the time savings and unique capabilities they provide—plus the great technical support we get —these components are a key part of our strategy."

"I've stayed with these products all these years because of their great technical support."

Daniel Reber on ease of use of ActiveAnalysis and Data Dynamics Reports

One feature of Data Dynamics Analysis (now ActiveAnalysis) that Daniel Reber particularly appreciates is the ease of moving between numerical data and graphs and charts. "Not only can end users view the data in both numbers and graphs, but we can easily modify the size, color, and other features of graphs to help them quickly grasp what's happening," he says. "No other component can do that."

In the case of Data Dynamics Reports, he notes, "It's the quickest way available to create reports, and you don't need to be a programmer to do it."
