Much better than our old report writer We had used the default report writer that came with Delphi many years ago, and it was slow, clunky, and bulky. Moving to FastReport, even though we had to pay for that, was a great move. Much better integration with our code, all compiled right into the exe so there were no deployment issues, and a quite nice integrated designer. We never came across a reporting need which it couldn't handle.

Fast development using Inherited Reports I choose fastReport, mostly because of it's Delphi-Forms like inheritance reports. This, really is a enhance in fast production reports; Some embeded components, are also really productive, like tables , pictures and parameters features are very easy and comprehensive.

Great reporting tool for Delphi We have been using FR for DELPHI for 15 years. We are glad it has open source code, because we have heavily modified it to suit our needs. We use it to create all customer and internal documents. Delphi version lacks advanced PDF export features, though - .NET version of FR has far better PDF export engine than Delphi. It can't, for example, overlay PDF pages over one another... We had even encountered and proposed solution to a bug that was promptly resolved in a following version. We use report designer (integrated into our ERP system), SDAC connector, variants and variables. We don't use scripting in FR too much (we use FastScript elsewhere, though).

FastReport - the best reporting engine ever! We were using few reporting engines in past. Including our own print canvas based VCLs with runtime designer. But something was still wrong. Until we found FastReport - the best reporting engine ever! You're doing really good job!

Excellent Reporting Tool for Delphi Excellent all-in-one reporting tool for Delphi – it just works. From zero to having a report in short time, and data aware as well. You can even deploy report files after the fact, no need to re-compile for each report change. Happily works with SQL Server too which is great for me. I've used the report in various projects, all with solid results. I've been using it since 2014 and continue to do so. Fast Reports definitely ranks as one of the most dependable Delphi third-party components out there, I won't look any further for a reporting tool. It is regularly updated, providing confidence in the investment and the future maintainability of the product.
