There is a lot of discussion back and forth about reporting speeds in business and accounting applications. I recently did some benchmark testing as shown in this video below to highlight the difference.
MAS90 and MAS200 run on a flat file database. The way it is written, internal ‘hard coded’ reports run fairly quickly, but reports and external applications that access its data via ODBC (such as Crystal Reports) can be painfully slow.
This issue becomes even more obvious when reports use more than one ‘left outer join’ which means you are matching up data from two places where there isn’t a guarantee data exists to link in both tables. An example of this is an Invoice History report showing salesperson information from another table but yet MAS 90 doesn’t require a salesperson to be associated with an invoice.

FRxBuzz, a blog about all things FRx has done a shootout between FRx and it’s soon to be replacment Microsoft Management Reporter
This was the first time I really looked at this new product and I was surprised and happy to learn that it’s still VERY similar to FRx and not a complete redesign. It’s completely modernized, but if you are familiar with FRx, the learning curve looks very short. I think it is supposed to convert FRx report definitions but I need to confirm.
The one major issue is this solution is only available for Microsoft Dynamics. So if you are on, sage Sage MAS90, MAS200 or MAS500, Sage is moving to a new set of financial report writers that may be as good if not better, but will be different from FRx and thus will have a longer learning curve for those familiar with FRx.
Here is the article.
