Good solution for custom reporting with mix IBM Rational data

What do you like best?

RPE helps to create different document-style reports with data from Jazz tools and third-party tools and support most popular formats like PDF, HTML, Word, Excel, or XSL.

RPE has Eclipse-based IDE so in most cases you will not need to learn new UI.

RPE is supported with Jazz.net - very useful user community including developers of Rational Publishing Engine itself.

What do you dislike?

It's not a easy tool and you need some time for studding before you can start work and can create that reports which you need.

Integration with third-party tools depends on many factors and you need to check it with each update to new version of tool.

I don't like IBM technical support in case you need to promote any feature or bug fix important to you. They usually have different priorities and you rarely get solution in nearest fix or release.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

RPE provides best value for reporting onmixed data from different Jazz tools. And you should like Eclipse UI to work with RPE

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We implemented Rational CLM for big customer and have many different requirements for reporting from different departments and business owners. We can't satisfy all these with built-in reporting for CLM.

With RPE we provided most complex solution with custom reports in different output formats.
