Since the release of the open source 1.0-beta version of Blockreport, developers have loved it and always asked, “What’s the difference between Blockreport and Fansoft?” We do not want to do such a comparison from the heart, just want to do a good job of their own products, do not want to judge the quality of peer products. Was asked a lot by netizens, today Xiaobian to summarize the difference between the two:

I. Charge method

  • Fan soft: need to pay to buy, the price “tens of thousands of +”, relatively expensive in the same industry.
  • Building blocks report: free open source.

Two, the way of use

  • Fansoft can only be used by downloading the offline version. For example, Soft V10.0 needs to download a 600M designer, using the design pattern of Excel class, open time of 20S, repeated tests several times, basically in more than 20 seconds. (Test computer Core I5 4 core 8G). The FinePort designer is not very good at displaying the high resolution of today’s computers.
  • Bricks reports can be used in two ways: online and offline. Register your account online, and you can use all functions online for free. The off-line version needs to be integrated into Jeecgboot, and the installer needs to know certain technologies to use it permanently and quickly after installation.

Third, the comprehensiveness of the function

  • As the leader in the report industry, Fansong has a long existence, and the function of the report is quite powerful. Whether it is complex group report, cross report, conditional query report, or large screen, Fansong can easily achieve;
  • Building blocks report is an open source product of JEECGBOOTBOOT open source community. It has not been launched for a long time, but the chart is quite rich. Because the open source ECHART implementation is more flexible and lighter, the effect is also powerful!

Four, the interface effect

  • As an old brand company, Fansoft has strong functions, but it does not pay much attention to the aesthetics of the interface and the operation of users, so the experience is not very good.
  • Building blocks report has been optimized from the interface aesthetics and user experience, allowing users to make cool large screens and complex reports easily.

V. Data source

  • Fan soft report support JDBC and JNDI two connection mode, the use is relatively simple, configuration driver, URL and user name, password can be. But fan soft report support in the data source connection interface directly set the relevant properties of the database connection pool, without going to the configuration file Settings, this is more convenient.
  • In addition to JDBC and JNDI, building block reports also support API mode, users can choose the configuration mode flexibly.

Six, template cases

Finally, Xiaobian found some template cases, you can compare and see.
