Top Rated Carbone Alternatives
We have implemented this solution in our WEWIS department in the Flemish government. We had several issues on our side and functionalities that lacked from the on-premise build, but they were very quick to help us with any issue we had. They also implemented these new functionalities that we needed very fast in their newest releases. The tool is easy to use and you can modify it the way your company likes to a great extend. Our services will use Carbone very frequently and so far so good, the integration was also a piece of cake for our infra team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their documentation on their website still lacks some functionalities I believe with the newest builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbone makes it incredibly easy to generate reports using Microsoft Word or Excel templates, allowing for customizable layouts. It supports JSON data, which is especially useful for handling complex or multi-level data structures. With Carbone, there's no need to install or implement software on our servers to process reports, saving both time and resources.
The Carbone service works perfectly. We have been using Carbone for the past 3 years to generate 400 to 500 reports daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It took some time to integrate Carbone service with our API, including uploading templates, uploading data, and downloading reports. However, after the initial setup, everything works fine.
The customer support is great, but due to different time zones, it may take some time to get a response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides the fact that Carbone is a very useful tool, which allows creating complex files in a PDF, it also has the best customer support possible. They provide great guides and are very responsive and supportive in case of any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only dislike is that not everyone can use the tool if they do not have a deep enough background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lean syntax if you're not familiar on coding/algorithm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found out about Carbone a couple of years ago while I was looking for an easy and efficient way of producing reports. I found it to be ideal to generate formatted reports. The fact that the template can be designed by the user of the reports is the best part. Also, creating the templates is so easy that it doesn't require much expertise. It was also very simple to integrate it within the REST Node JS API I was building. I had some issues with my template today and the support I got is amazing. I would like to forward my appreciation to the whole team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be honest, there is nothing I don't like about Carbone so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have a wide variety of functionalities which I'm always discovering. The documentation is great - I have found everything I have needed which has made for a very easy implementation and integration with my system. And the customer support is exemplary. I have been in touch with them twice (both times were an issue on my side which they helped me resolve). The customer support agents are very knowledgable and ready to help.
Also, you don't pay for test prints which takes the pressure off when testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbone is a cracking low code tool that's extremely versatile when generating transactional reports, certificates and documentation. The strong documentation and simple syntax make it easy to pick up, even for non technical people. Beyond the tool, the team are extremely friendly and communicative - always happy to help with a query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Error messages when something doesn't work in the studio would be a great help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Carbone Cloud API for brochures, legal forms, and financial reports in PDF, DOCX, and PPTX. It's been running smoothly for months, always fast and pixel-perfect.
Designing templates is accessible and straightforward; anybody in my team can create and edit the file with MS Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
Incorporating Carbone was straightforward: making two API requests, one for generation and another for fetching the file, and that's all there is to it.
When encountering challenges in designing a template, I can reach out to the tech team through chat, and they promptly provide a solution within minutes. Each interaction deepens my understanding of the product. It's truly invaluable support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It needs documentation and examples for advanced syntax usage. The addition of tutorial videos or live streams would be highly welcomed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbone's powerful templating engine stands out as a key feature. It provides a high level of customization, enabling users to design reports that perfectly meet their needs and specifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Carbone is a powerful and user-friendly tool for generating reports, there are a few areas that could be improved. One aspect I find challenging is the initial learning curve for creating templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
