The challenge for ISVs

You’ve Decided To Embed Reporting. Now Comes The Hard Part.

Building it in-house means months of chart rendering, a report designer, export pipelines, and scheduling. But the real trap is multi-tenancy - get isolation wrong and one tenant sees another’s data. That’s a breach, not a bug.

Reporting Infrastructure

Building Reporting Infrastructure

Building rendering engines, exports, scheduling, and report processing consumes engineering resources.

Report Designer

Self-Service Report Designer

Creating a report designer from scratch takes months of development.

Data Isolation

Multi-Tenant Data Security

Tenant isolation, row-level security, and permissions must be designed correctly from day one.

Authentication

Authentication & Access Control

SSO, JWT, OAuth, and user provisioning add significant implementation complexity.

Integration Effort

Cross-Source Data Integration

Managing multiple data sources and tenant-specific connections increases maintenance overhead.

Licensing Model

Scaling Costs

Traditional reporting tools and BI platforms often become more expensive as adoption grows.

How it works

Multi-Tenant Reporting, Embedded In Three Moves

A complete embedded platform - designer, viewer, server, and APIs - architected for multi-tenant SaaS from the ground up.

01

Isolate Every Tenant

Map each customer to a tenant with its own data sources, users, and permissions. Bold Reports enforces isolation at the data and rendering layer.

02

Embed With Your SDK Of Choice

Drop the viewer and designer into your app with JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Blazor, or ASP.NET. Authenticate via tokens - no separate login.

<bold-report-viewer tenant="acme" token={jwt} />
03

White-Label And Ship

Apply your logo, colors, fonts, custom CSS, and your own domain so reporting looks native. Let customers build their own reports, or lock it to view-only.

Why Bold Reports

Built For Embedding Into A Product - Not Bolting Onto A Data Team

Everything is designed around your app, your tenants, and your release cycle - not a standalone BI tool retrofitted for embedding.

true-multi-tenant-architecture

True Multi-Tenant Architecture

Per-tenant data sources, users, and permissions with enforced isolation. Onboard a new customer as a new tenant - no schema gymnastics, no data-leakage risk.

predictable-isv-friendly-licensing

Predictable, ISV-Friendly Licensing

Pricing designed for products that serve many end users - not per-viewer fees that tax your growth. Model your reporting cost with confidence as you scale.

deploy-where-your-data-lives

Deploy Where Your Data Lives

Run on-premises, in your own cloud (AWS, Azure, or containers via Docker/Kubernetes), or use the managed cloud. Keep customer data inside your compliance boundary.

full-white-labeling-self-service

Full White-Labeling & Self-Service

Rebrand every surface and give end customers a real report designer - drag-and-drop, parameters, scheduling, and exports to PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, and images.

  • Backed by Syncfusion - the component depth of a mature developer-tools company, and documentation your engineers can actually follow.
Multi-tenancy, handled

Built For ISVs From The Ground Up

Tenant isolation isn't a feature you bolt on, it's enforced at the data layer, so it scales with your customer base instead of your risk.

Note: One deployment, thousands of isolated tenants.

01

Isolate Every Tenant Automatically

Onboard new customers instantly with built-in tenant isolation. Secure access using SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, and JWT authentication without custom security code.

02

Scale To Thousands Of Tenants On One Deployment

A single Bold Reports instance serves your entire customer base. Add your 10th or 10,000th tenant without re-architecting or adding infrastructure headaches.

03

Control Access Down To The Row

Layer permissions by tenant, team, and individual user with role-based access control (RBAC) and row-level security (RLS), so the right people see the right data every time.

Why ISVs Choose Bold Reports Over Crystal Reports

A side-by-side look at how the two platforms handle the things ISVs care about most: multi-tenancy, licensing, and modern deployment.

Feature Crystal Reports Bold Reports
Multi-tenant support Not designed for multi-tenant SaaS Built-in, tenant-isolated by design
Time to embed Weeks to months; limited embedding Days to weeks with drop-in SDKs & APIs
Cost per customer Per-seat licensing that scales against you Predictable, SaaS-friendly licensing
Developer friendliness Desktop-era tooling, steeper integration Modern SDKs (JS, React, Angular, Blazor, .NET) + full docs
Deployment Primarily desktop/server, desktop-era model On-prem, your cloud, containers, or managed cloud
Web-based report designer Desktop-only designer application Browser-based Web Report Designer, no install required
Embedded reporting Legacy viewer controls, limited to desktop/server apps Purpose-built for embedding into SaaS products via SDKs and REST APIs
White labeling Minimal branding options Fully white-labeled: custom themes, domains, and branding per tenant

FAQ

The Questions Engineering And Product Teams Ask Us

Each tenant operates within its own isolated reporting environment, including data sources, users, roles, and reports. Bold Reports supports secure multi-tenant reporting through token-based authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and row-level security implementations. User context can be passed using JWT tokens so permissions align with your application's existing security model. This ensures customer-facing reports remain securely isolated across tenants.

Bold Reports can be embedded into JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Blazor, ASP.NET Core, and ASP.NET MVC applications. The platform connects to SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, REST APIs, JSON, XML, and other business data sources. This enables SaaS companies and ISVs to deliver embedded reporting and customer-facing analytics using their existing technology stack.

Yes. Bold Reports can be deployed on-premises, within your private cloud, or in containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes. Organizations that need to meet internal security, data residency, or compliance requirements can keep reporting infrastructure and customer data within their own environment. Managed cloud deployment is also available for teams that prefer a SaaS model.

Unlike many BI and reporting platforms that charge per user, viewer, or seat, Bold Reports offers licensing designed specifically for SaaS applications and ISVs. This allows organizations to deliver embedded reporting to large numbers of end users without unpredictable per-viewer costs. Our team can recommend a licensing option based on your tenant count, deployment model, and reporting requirements.

Crystal Reports was originally designed for desktop and server-based reporting scenarios, while Bold Reports is purpose-built for modern web applications, SaaS products, and ISVs. Bold Reports provides embedded reporting, multi-tenant architecture, white-label branding, self-service report design, modern SDKs, REST APIs, and cloud deployment options. This makes it a strong alternative for organizations looking to deliver customer-facing reporting experiences inside web applications.

Implementation timelines vary based on requirements, authentication workflows, and customization needs. Most teams begin by embedding the report viewer into their application, then add white-label branding, self-service report design, scheduling, and multi-tenant configurations as needed. Because Bold Reports includes a ready-to-use reporting engine, report server, APIs, and SDKs, organizations can typically accelerate implementation compared to building a reporting solution in-house.

Embedded reporting allows software vendors to integrate reports, dashboards, and analytics directly within their applications, giving users access to business insights without leaving the product.

Many organizations use Bold Reports as a modern reporting platform for applications built around Microsoft technologies. With support for SSRS report definitions (RDL), embedded deployment, self-service report design, and cloud architectures, Bold Reports can help modernize reporting experiences for web-based applications.

Bold Reports includes a web-based report designer that allows business users to build, customize, save, and manage their own reports while administrators maintain control over data access and permissions.

Bold Reports can integrate with existing authentication systems and supports token-based security models commonly used in SaaS applications, helping organizations deliver a seamless reporting experience inside their products.
