Different charts can be created. Olap cube is very helpful. We do our admission letters with this product. Recently created probation and warning letters. > > **Cons**: When our central IT has problem in nightly ODS update. > > One click reports for my department. ----- ### "New user, from a school using Argos in ad-hoc manner.

Even users with no SQL experience can create complex queries using the visual designer. For experienced SQL developers, the text editor is available. Outputs can be in the form of interactive dashboards with charts, graphs, indicators and multi column lists, or CSV files, xml data extracts, and PDF files. The clever application developer can even turn this reporting tool into a data input application for maintenance data in your database delivering a user-friendly front end for end users. One of the most outstanding features of Argos is the company behind it. Evisions is by far the best company to work with that a customer could ever find. Their tech support is exceptional: highly responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, never hesitating to offer a webex session and really dig in to find a solution. Software updates are very solid and dependable, saving us many hours of testing because of their track record of reliability. > > **Cons**: The banded report editor is the weakest part of the software. It is the least intuitive and least flexible, only offering output in an often poorly rendered PDF file format. It lacks output options such as a Word file format, and forces you to construct your report output into bands of data, instead of a more flexible page layout format. ----- ### "Argos - All in one Inexpensive Reporting Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Shricharan** | *3 March 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can do most of the Important things that other reporting tool does for less expensive. Best tool for Higher Education. > > **Cons**: Needs some more features that expensive tool has to make the users life easy. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/113333/argos?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/113333/argos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
