New to Stimulsoft
Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 10:54 am
Let me start by saying, I have researched a number of Report writers and this product seems to provided the most flexibility, shortest learning curve and most reasonable pricing.
That said, I am still a noobie and would love some basic questions answered before we jump in with both feet.
1) We are focusing on Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for PHP because we love PHP and its simplicity. If we went to Stimulsoft Reports.web, what version of .NET needs to be installed on the server? Is there any loss in functionality in the report designer using the Stimulsoft Reports.fx for PHP as opposed to the .NET equivalent?
2) Can reports be generated directly to .pdf without bringing up the report viewer window?
3) Is there a scheduling mechanism?
4) We are intending on using .PHP/MySQL. Can anyone comment on live installations and what benefits and limitations you have discovered?
5) Has anyone worked with Crystal Reports in the past and attempted to port their reports to Stimulsoft? What limitations have you found in Stimulsoft vs. Crystal Reports?
Thank you everyone in advance.
