Bold Reports Reviews

The custom report building feature, the easy to use interface, flexible pricing plans, and great support for onboarding.

Limited flexibility when it comes to gradual onboarding of users/customers

The building customized reports by the customers, drastically reduces the engineering team development and maintenance effort

Syncfusion Bold Reports Enterprise (on-premises/self-hosted) has delivered fantastic reporting productivity and excellent value for money within a simple deployment, with well-considered features and a sensible design, whilst also being without hidden costs. Highlights have included excellent usability, easy integrations, quick existing RDL import, an approach to recyclable data which regular users can leverage, a simple API for insights into its own use, excellent documentation and a helpful ETL pipeline tool in addition. The Product Team, Support Team and our dedicated Account Manager have all been stellar and are appreciated. Aside from Bold’s own merits, should you dislike rival products due to their cloud-only options, or your organisation is at a scale otherwise unfortunate for the arbitrary and cynical licensing thresholds those other products impose, do instead seriously consider Bold Reports Enterprise for a refreshing alternative.

When compared with competitor’s offerings, Syncfusion’s Bold product being fair, flexible and cost-effective renders any ‘dislikes’ trivial. For self-hosting, just spec your deployment method with ample resources for smooth running.

Bold Reports simplifies and makes genuinely accessible cost-effective on-premises site-wide reporting.

I find the user interface of Bold Reports to be impressive compared to tools like Microsoft and Visual Studio's add-on for SQL Server Report Server, which can be quite tedious. The interface makes it much easier to make changes, and that's a key reason why I continue to use it. The initial setup was really easy because of the 30-day free trial, and my subscription was automatically turned on with little effort. I'm very happy with how it all worked, especially since the interface is excellent compared to another, more complicated product I considered.

There were some user interface issues in the beginning when I would drag a text box around. If it inadvertently got into a table, there was no way for me to get it back out of there. But I think that's been corrected.

I use Bold Reports for its impressive user interface, which is less tedious compared to Microsoft and Visual Studio tools. It simplifies creating SQL Server reports, making changes much easier.

I find Bold Reports to be very easy to use, which is a significant advantage for me and my team. Its user-friendly interface means I can confidently give it to regular users to modify reports, something we wouldn't consider doing with Access or SSRS. The ease of use is not just about operating the system; Bold Reports is also very easy to set up, making the initial adoption process smooth and stress-free. Additionally, it effectively serves as our primary reporting tool for recurring static reports. The integration with other tools such as SQL Server, our claims software, and Microsoft Fabric works well, enhancing the overall functionality and efficiency. I'm particularly impressed with the way Bold Reports eliminates the need for complex infrastructure, unlike Access, thereby reducing cost and operational complexity. My positive experience is reflected in my likelihood to recommend Bold Reports to a friend or colleague, which I rate at 10 out of 10.

Nothing to dislike.

Bold Reports solves VPN data retrieval issues, reducing infrastructure costs. It's user-friendly, allowing regular users to modify reports without hesitation, unlike Access or SSRS.

Bold Reports is easy to use and feels straightforward for both admins and end users. It’s also a cost-effective option compared to other reporting tools, which makes it easier to justify and scale across the organization.

The product still feels incomplete. There are important features that are either missing or still in development or testing. The support experience also isn’t as strong as it should be, which slows things down when we need help.

Bold Reports gives us a single place for analytics after moving away from our old EDW. It simplifies how we build and share reports, and it cuts down on the overhead we used to deal with. Our teams get faster access to the data they need, and the overall setup is easier to manage.

Easy integration into my Blazor application.

I have not found any downsides yet however I am still in early development.

Bol Reports is being used as our embedded report writer. All user presented reports are built and ran through Bold Reports.

That customer support is very prompt and helpful in sorting out your issue.

Nothing to mention here. It all seems good.

We want to display reports to the end-user.

Its been quite straightforward to integrate into our SaaS software for viticulture, especially with the great support we received from the Syncfusion team.

Sometimes there have been small glitches in migrating reports from SSRS

I like Bold Reports for its intuitive drag-and-drop designer that simplifies report creation. Its wide data source support and seamless integration make it highly flexible for various applications. The interactive viewer and export options add great value for end-users.

There’s nothing to dislike about Bold Reports as it offers a smooth and user-friendly experience. The features are well-documented and perform consistently across different environments. Its reliability and flexibility make it a dependable reporting solution.

Bold Reports addresses the need for centralized, efficient, and customizable reporting by supporting various data sources and offering a user-friendly design interface. It streamlines report creation, scheduling, and sharing, reducing manual effort and improving data accessibility. As a tester, it benefits me by providing a stable platform to validate data accuracy, UI behavior, and report performance—all in one integrated environment.

It is a powerful tool for creating professional reports that integrates perfectly into any application context. Excellent technical documentation.

I didn't find any problems, on the contrary I found excellent documentation with a vast array of examples.

I have integrated Bold Reports into a .net mvc core program. The .rdl report display is really nice.
