We mainly use the PDF rendering facility. The combination of the MS Word template and the passing of a JSON data object into a single simple REST API call that returns a PDF document is exactly what we required. The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool. The HTML rendering, in combination with our own AWS SES service, allows a very simple method of producing bespoke emails. The storage of templates within the product in a folder structure makes the rendering call simple and also allows for multiple environments to be catered for.

We've already briefly spoken with Docmosis, and we'll be pursuing this more - we are looking to take our intra-application monitoring to the next level. Really, we've embraced the DevOps philosophy and are trying to improve the monitoring, so it's not just your traditional up/down type monitoring but it's a more holistic system load, degeneration – where it may be performing uncharacteristically, not necessarily degraded or down, it's just the usage profile is atypical. Having that greater insight means being able to connect to Docmosis from a monitoring standpoint. Application to application to say “How many reports have we run in the last hour? What's the average performance time?" Those types of things. We're going to be looking for additional hooks we can use to monitor the Docmosis service as part of our offering, so that we've got a comprehensive view of system health.

I've shared with Docmosis a list of improvements they could make, and they've been very customer-centric and responsive. They don't always deliver what we ask, but they're very conscientious about responding to us. We have some pretty onerous requirements, but they timely respond. Because we're not using the cloud version, using the Java library version instead, we'd like more visibility and control of load balancing for owned and private cloud. Another thing I'd like to see is the ability to more dynamically add converters on the fly. They help generate the PDFs. Also, this was something they suggested and we wholeheartedly agree: a more simplified install process or consolidated JAR. The reason for that is because otherwise you're installing all these other dependencies related to either OpenOffice or LibreOffice, so that that could simplify the ramp-up to deployment. The barcoding functionality also needs improvement, specifically a more robust handling of it. Right now, they allow for 1D barcodes, so eventual integration of 2D barcodes would be well-received. I'd also like some sort of native support for e-signatures. Fonts, I think, are a little tricky, and so the workaround, on the client-side, is just to address it at a system level, make sure your core system has the fonts necessary for your documents. That's completely okay, but for teams that are operating a couple of layers up in the stack, if they don't have access to that system level, installing fonts and so on just becomes a little more difficult and requires more coordination. That'd be an opportunity to make it simpler or the developer, because the developer isn't always the system manager. I use a feature within Docmosis to embed templates within templates, and there are some technical limitations, and I don't think it's Docmosis' doing, but there are some limitations in operating with headers and footer when you're using that feature. I get the rationale for not being able to make enhancements around that, but I would want enhancements around that nevertheless.

Valuable Features

"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."
"Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand."
"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template-based approach. Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them. The templates made it easy to make any changes to reports and provided flexibility in our design approach."

Room for Improvement

"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could be a useful addition."
"We are facing new challenges such as internationalization. The next big challenge will be to offer even more date formats and numbers that cover the majority of countries. It will be to also think about features, such as number to text conversion, or the reverse which is currently only available in English but is in great demand by our international customers."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools. When report templates are complex, sometimes any minor modification needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it does not disrupt a previously designed template."

Pricing

"Price bands are based on pages so ensure you have a good understanding of this if documents are of variable length."
"Cloud and REST API models keep the setup costs low."
