### "Better reporting experience with Telerik Reporting"

July 6, 2021

4.0

We have been using Telerik reporting for the past 3 years and it has been a great experience using and it. We have used Telerik reporting in both the front end and back end of our software for reporting purposes. I have been using its standalone report designer to create reports for our software. It is very easy to learn and implement.

Pros

I love the standalone report designer of Telerik reporting which I have been using for the past 3 years to create reports for our software and implementing them as per our needs. I love the simplicity of designer. We can easily learn and implement it as per our requirements.

Cons

The only problem that I have faced so far is whenever I am stuck in any issue, I am unable to find the necessary tutorials and solutions as other products. I just have to rely on the documentation and the support team.

### "Make reporting simple"

October 9, 2022

4.0

Overall experience is very satisfactory as our reporting tool need is fulfilled. Due to the support in various languages helps our developer's team to use it with different technology. Initially developer team faces some issues in initial installation but now they are Champ in it.

Pros

1\. It's very simple and easy to use. 2. Allows to create, view and export customized formatted reports 3. Reports can be viewed in web, desktop and cloud apps. 4.Gather relevant information from any data source with the help of various connectors. 5. Helps to filter data and can be formatted.

Cons

1\. Documentation needs an improvement. 2. Style is little bit messy and sometimes feels complicated 3. Update at your own risk, as if we upgrade version sometimes required changes in code too. 4. Customization within the components little bit time consuming.

It is very straight forward selection in terms of cost and the support with multiple languages.

### "I wish you well."

October 2, 2024

3.0

Frustrating

Pros

Not sure

Cons

Incredibly frustrating to author and maintain a report. So many moving pieces, so many bugs in the designer, so many limitations. We are investigating other options. It's unfathomable that more than five years on, there is STILL not a Visual Studio designer for sdk and .NET Core. How could this have been ignored for so long? I can appreciate that it may have been difficult at first when Core was new, but it's 2024. Brutal.

### "Telerik Reporting Review"

November 13, 2021

5.0

Overall, I have had only positive experiences using Telerik Reporting. It's simple to use UI (For the Designer) and ease to incorporate into our software solutions made it quite the necessity for me. Overall though I greatly praise the vast selection of Data Connectors, as mentioned this was the focal point to me and Telerik Reporting delivered on that.

Pros

The ability to completely customize our reports to our varying needs was much the highlight for me. The simple and easy-to-use the controls are also a highlight point. But, the most important aspect for me was it's Data Connector options, as I had various data sources for our various solutions and the large support range made incorporating those sources simple.

Cons

When first using Telerik Reporting, the actual creation of the reports was simple but how you incorporated the Report into your software solution became a bit tricky at first (Keep in mind, this relates to using the Designer to create the Reports and incorporating those reports into our solution). You can chop this up to issues of a first time user though, since it was only an issue on first implementation.

Alternatives considered

[Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/)

Reason for choosing Telerik Reporting

Since we made extensive use of Kendo UI, it seemed simpler to stick with the same provider whose products integrate with each other easily already.

[DevExpress Reports](https://www.capterra.com/p/181493/DevExpress-Reporting/)

Telerik Reporting was simpler to use and incorporate into our solutions, with relatively good documentation available. Add in the Scheduling options, as well as the Data Export formats and you have yourself one nice bundled solution.

### "The best you can get for the money :-) and it works with Blazor 6.0"

October 20, 2023

4.0

Very helpful support team(++++), works without big issues. We can fullfill most of our user request. (the non fullfilles have more less to do with the the legacy of the main application :-) )

Pros

ObjectDataSource (the only datasource we allowed to use)At this time: Blazor Native works great, without an issues.

Cons

Fragmented documentation. Sometimes outdatet.API sometimes a little bit confusing.In native Blazor: Designer usage, feels like: beta release. Missing a lot of usabillity.

Reason for choosing Telerik Reporting

We use DevCraft! So it's on board.

### "Efficient and Fast for the Developer"

May 1, 2024

4.0

It has become an essential tool for the development of my applications, allowing the generation of isolated documents or complete and sophisticated reports.

Pros

Wide range of resources and ease connections to data sources.

Cons

Limited capacity for HTML content, not allowing images or tables within texts (htmlTextBox). It should provide a native robust, flexible, and complete integrated component for creating filters for data selection by users, like Telerik Filter in ASP.NET Ajax UI.

Switched from

[SAP Crystal Reports](https://www.capterra.com/p/212107/SAP-Crystal-Reports/)

Crystal Reports appears to have been abandoned by SAP.

### "Telerik report feedback"

November 15, 2024

2.0

Pros

the fact that you can have live filters within the report

Cons

I don't like the way that we have to pass the data from server to the report what I have experienced in other competitors was that I could simply create the model I needed in my code and just pass it to the report as a business object and it was ok, but now I have to create a class library, reference it multiple places, pass parameters to the report, config parameters Whitin the report....

### "Full featured web UI"

April 18, 2020

5.0

Telerik has great customer support. My company has an Enterprise license and when I post a question or problem they get back to me very quickly, usually in one day.

Pros

The Telerik components have about every web UI feature you can imagine: grids, calendars, reports, etc. The support for CRUD operations with built-in Ajax is great.

Cons

It takes a while to learn. They have great demos and examples but you do need good programming skills to get it to do what you want.

### "An efficient and flexible alternative to PowerBI"

October 27, 2022

4.0

Including Telerik reporting in my backend allowed me to have a fully embeded sollution, no strings attached, and a much easier data segregation per user thanks to custom report resolver.

Pros

Integration in the backend code, the various data connector and the overall logic and ease of use of the standalone designer.Report parameters and binding are super usefull powerfull and easy to use.Documentation is good and community very active.the angular client is easy to integrate and everything is customisable.You can feel it has been made by developpers for developpers.

Cons

Setting up charts was hard and documentation a bit lacking, but the feature are there.

Reason for choosing Telerik Reporting

It is much cheaper, probably less powefull and need a bit more work to look as sexy out of the box, but it seems to cover all my need.

Pros

I've used Telerik Reporting since early 2011. While it can be a little difficult to implement a particular functionality, their tech support is excellent.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to implement things that are a bit on the fringe.
