What Our Clients Say

A.J. Gyomber / CEO, Technology Visionaries

CFAR is designed for quick, easy, and professional reports for LabTech and Connectwise. It's really an amazing tool and nearly anyone can create a new report in just a few minutes... I created a workstation warranty expiration report highlighting workstations with warranties either expired or about to expire in probably five minutes. You don't have to buy Crystal Reports or be a Crystal Report expert to use this product.

Jason Burton-Woods / Service Delivery Manager, AVC

Our customers are constantly looking for demonstrations of value and improvement. When we sent [them] the first Monthly CFAR report,15% of them took the time to respond - telling us that the new format is excellent! CFAR has transformed Client Monthly reporting...Perhaps the biggest change CFAR has made is in our attitude toward reporting. We now believe that whatever the reporting challenge, we can do it! Without coding experts!!!

Jeremie Scheiner / EZ MSP

Yesterday, three of us in the office tried to make a report using the new Connectwise report writer. We spent well over an hour, only to give up in frustration. We then spent five minutes creating the same report in CFAR. The report took so little time to create and ran so fast, we could not believe the result was correct. A little checking verified the report was accurate. In fact, we are using CFAR so much now that we just ordered three more licenses from the Rose Valley Software website.

Mike Jennings / BEI

We have been using CFAR for many years and it is a really great product. It contains many built-in reports for both CW Manage and Automate that mimic as well go far beyond the standard CW offerings. Results are nicely presented and can be produced in a myriad of file formats. Customizing reports is pretty straightforward and the documentation is good. This is capped off by the support that Rose Valley provides when you have a question. The most responsive vendor I've ever had for a product."

Ben Grantham / Phase 42

Rick is outstanding with his support and the reports (we are focused on CW right now) are really simple to generate. Not only that, this product can be extended to use Third-Party components, e.g. run a command line script to grab external data... If you have any interest at all in reporting, CFAR is a no-brainer.

Michael Doherty / CEO, Mikrodots, Inc.

CFAR (Cheap, Fast, Accurate Reports) works as advertised. Seems simple on the surface but is fully customizable under the hood...Great reporting tool for LabTech; easy for a non-programmer, but fully programmable for SQL experts.

Phil LaRue / Kalmer Solutions

An excellent product with great flexibility. Whether scheduling automated reports or using one of the many sample reports to quickly pull some needed information, we have been very pleased. In addition, the support is top notch.

Brian Mirsky / Veranda Technologies

I have been using CFAR for quite some time, working closely with Rick and his team on developing, tweaking, making the product better. I love how easy it is to get whatever I need out of LabTech and Connectwise, and how easy Rick is to work with. Definitely a product designed to make life easier."

How to Build Your Own ConnectWise Automate and Manage Reports

What makes reporting so frustrating and painful?

The root of the problem can be found in the way relational databases work. Relational databases are not designed to make reports easy; rather they are structured to store data in a way that reduces data redundacy and improves data integrity. As a result, a well-structured database is not easy to use for reporting.

CFAR eliminates five of the most common reporting obstacles related to database design. Using CFAR, you can now build the reports you always wanted in five steps:

Step 1: Enter report name

Welcome to step 1 of the five-step CFAR report wizard. In this step, enter a descriptive name for the new report, and any additional information or notes in the "Comments" field.
