    • Native Office output -- not nested tables and/or horrible RTF like other tools generate.
    • Ease of use -- once the data sources are set up, creating tables is as simple as drag and drop (okay, maybe not exactly that simple, but you can certainly create a table of data using drag and drop, then format it and manipulate it as needed).
    • Responsive developers and support -- when I've had questions, they've been addressed VERY quickly and professionally.

    • It is hard to pick out the tags if they are mixed in with a block of text.
    • Using report variables in select statements causes the selection list of available fields to not show anything.
    • The color themes do not match the office selection and it feels very disconnected.
