As a result, designer users often spend a lot of time and energy in the installation process before they really start the report design work.

On the other hand, the online designer can be used only by the user through the browser, without any installation or deployment steps, and no need to consider whether there are dependent plug-ins in the system. Open the computer and use it. Let users put their energy and time into the really valuable report work!
