Logi Analytics / Logi Report Alternative for .NET: Complete Guide (2026)

What Happened to Logi Analytics and Logi Report?

For over two decades, Logi Analytics was an independent company and one of the dominant forces in the embedded analytics market. Its products — Logi Info for embedded analytics, Logi Report (originally JReport, acquired in 2019) for pixel-perfect reporting, and Logi Composer for headless analytics APIs — were widely deployed in ISV and SaaS applications across industries. For .NET development teams, Logi Report in particular was a go-to option for embedding operational reports and complex print-ready output inside enterprise applications.

In 2021, insightsoftware acquired Logi Analytics for a reported $425 million, adding it to a portfolio that already included Izenda, Exago BI, Dundas BI, and dozens of other acquired reporting platforms. The acquisition initially came with assurances that the products would continue to be independently supported. Those assurances have not held.

As of 2026, insightsoftware has signaled that legacy Logi products are on a deprecation path. Teams that have been running Logi Report or Logi Info for years now face a choice: migrate to Logi Symphony on insightsoftware’s timeline, or take control of the migration themselves and move to a platform that fits their actual stack.

Why .NET Teams Are Leaving Logi

When .NET developers who have been using Logi products describe why they are migrating, four themes dominate:

The Product Roadmap Has Stalled

Before the acquisition, Logi Analytics had a well-regarded engineering team and a responsive product roadmap. Feature requests that would have been addressed in a quarterly release now sit open for over a year. Integrating with modern .NET versions — .NET 8, .NET 9, Blazor — requires workarounds that the Logi team is slow to address because those versions are not the platform’s primary focus.

For teams running ASP.NET Core applications, the gap between what Logi supports natively and what the modern .NET ecosystem offers continues to widen.

Pricing Has Increased Substantially

Logi Analytics historically used an application-based licensing model that was reasonably predictable for SaaS teams. Post-acquisition, customers report renewal quotes that are 40–80% higher than previous terms. The shift toward Logi Symphony has introduced new pricing structures — particularly around capacity-based and user-count-based tiers — that scale poorly for ISV and SaaS applications with large user bases.

Logi Report Was Java-Based

Logi Report (formerly JReport) was a Java application at its core. .NET teams integrated it via REST API calls, iframes, and bridge libraries. This was workable but never elegant — it added infrastructure overhead, created security boundary complexity, and required a separate Java runtime in your deployment environment alongside your .NET application.

As teams have modernized to .NET 8 and containerized their applications, maintaining a separate Java-based reporting service has become an increasing operational burden. Many teams report that the Java dependency alone is sufficient motivation to evaluate alternatives.

Support Quality Has Declined

Support ticket resolution times that used to be measured in days are now measured in weeks. Teams that depended on Logi’s engineering team for custom integration assistance and complex use-case guidance report that the level of responsiveness they relied on has degraded significantly since the insightsoftware acquisition. For .NET teams with production reporting dependencies, slow support response is not a minor inconvenience — it is a risk to their SLAs.

The Logi Symphony Migration Problem

If you are currently on Logi Info, Logi Report, or Logi Composer, insightsoftware wants you to migrate to Logi Symphony. Here is why that path is more difficult than it sounds:

It Is Not an Upgrade — It Is a Platform Change

Logi Symphony is not Logi Analytics with a new name. It is a restructured product with a different architecture, different configuration model, and different integration points. Reports built in Logi Report do not migrate automatically to Logi Symphony. Integrations built against the Logi Analytics API require rework. Embedded configurations need to be rebuilt from scratch.

Teams that have spent years building on Logi products — customizing the embedded designer, building tenant configurations, integrating with their .NET authentication stack — face a significant re-implementation project. And they face it on insightsoftware’s timeline, not their own.

Logi Symphony Is Not Designed for .NET Teams

Logi Symphony is a broad-market embedded analytics platform. It is not designed specifically for .NET developers, ASP.NET Core applications, or the patterns common in the .NET SaaS ecosystem. Teams that need NuGet-native installation, first-class .NET 8 support, and integration with ASP.NET Core authentication middleware will find that Logi Symphony still requires the same kind of bridge-layer integration that made Logi Report cumbersome in the first place.

The Cost Is Higher, Not Lower

Migrating from a legacy Logi product to Logi Symphony does not come with a pricing discount for existing customers. Logi Symphony carries its own licensing structure, and teams report that the transition often results in higher annual costs than they were paying under their original Logi contracts. The migration effort is funded entirely by the customer, and the pricing benefit flows to insightsoftware.

Given these realities, many .NET teams are concluding that if they have to do a significant migration anyway, they should migrate to a platform that actually fits their stack — not a platform that has the same structural problems as the one they are leaving.

What to Look for in a Logi Analytics Alternative for .NET

Not every embedded reporting platform is the right fit for a .NET application. When evaluating Logi alternatives, .NET development teams should prioritize these criteria:

There is one criterion that matters more than any feature list: independent, actively developed software. Logi’s fundamental problem is not capability — the original product was powerful. The problem is ownership: an acquiring company with different priorities decided to consolidate, slow investment, and redirect customers toward a different product. An independent vendor whose entire business is embedded .NET reporting is structurally less exposed to that risk.

Dotnet Report: Purpose-Built Embedded Reporting for .NET

Dotnet Report is an embedded self-service BI and reporting platform built specifically for ASP.NET Core and modern .NET applications. Unlike Logi’s product family — which was originally designed as a platform-agnostic web application with .NET integration bolted on — Dotnet Report is a NuGet package that runs inside your application as a first-class .NET component.

Core Capabilities

• Drag-and-drop report builder. End users select tables, columns, filters, grouping, sorting, and chart types without writing SQL. The interface is intuitive enough for non-technical business users to operate independently, without developer involvement for every new report.
• Interactive dashboards. Live grid-based dashboards with multiple report tiles. Users drag, resize, and rearrange tiles. Global and tile-level filters update all components simultaneously.
• 12+ chart types. Line, bar, pie, area, scatter, bubble, gauge, funnel, waterfall, and more. All charts are interactive with tooltips, drill-down, and built-in export to image and PDF.
• Row-level security. Enforce data access rules at the API layer using forced filters. Control exactly which rows each user or tenant can see, without maintaining separate database views or schemas per tenant.
• Scheduled report delivery. Cron-based scheduling with automatic delivery via email. PDF, Excel, Word, and CSV export formats. Recipients can be static or pulled dynamically from your user table.
• Multi-tenant by design. Native multi-tenancy with per-tenant workspaces, database connections, report libraries, and permissions. One deployment serves all tenants — no separate installations per customer.
• REST API. Full programmatic API for report generation, embedding reports in custom views, and integrating with your existing .NET authentication and authorization system.
• AI natural language queries. Smart Query (Beta) generates reports from plain-English descriptions. Ask “show me quarterly revenue by product line for 2025” and get a report without using the visual builder.
• Open-source React frontend. The report builder UI is fully open-source. White-label the interface, add custom components, or rebuild specific sections to match your application’s design system exactly.
• Blazor support. Full support for Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly. Embed the report builder as a component or drive reporting from Blazor components via the REST API.

Installation in 30 Minutes

Add two controller endpoints to your existing ASP.NET Core application. Connect to your database — the same database Logi was querying. Deploy. Your users get a fully functional embedded report builder immediately. There is no Java runtime to install, no separate server to provision, and no complex proxy configuration.

Pricing That Works for SaaS

Dotnet Report uses flat annual licensing. One price covers unlimited users, unlimited reports, unlimited tenants, and all features. For SaaS platforms that were paying Logi’s user-count or application-based fees, this typically represents a significant cost reduction — and the cost stays constant as your customer base grows.

Logi Analytics vs. Dotnet Report: Feature Comparison

Here is how the two platforms compare on the capabilities that matter most for .NET development teams:

The architectural difference is significant. Logi Analytics products were designed as standalone web applications that you integrated into your .NET app via API calls, iframes, and session-sharing. Dotnet Report installs as a NuGet package and runs in-process within your .NET application. This means cleaner security boundaries, simpler deployment, better performance, and a development experience that feels native to your stack rather than bolted on.

How to Migrate from Logi Analytics / Logi Report (Step by Step)

Teams migrating from Logi products to Dotnet Report typically complete the core work in 3–8 weeks, depending on the size of their report library and the depth of their Logi customizations. Here is the process most teams follow:

Step 1: Audit Your Logi Implementation

Start with a full inventory of what you have before touching anything else:

• How many reports and dashboards are in the system? How many are actively used?
• Which reports are developer-managed (pre-built) vs. user-created in the embedded designer?
• What is your multi-tenant structure? How many tenants? How is data isolation enforced?
• What security rules are in place? Row-level filters, role-based access, data masking?
• Which reports have scheduled delivery? Who receives them, in what format, and on what schedule?
• What customizations exist in the Logi embedded interface? Custom CSS, JavaScript, white-labeling?
• How deep is your Logi API integration? Custom report generation calls from your application code?

Pull your Logi usage data. Most Logi implementations have a long tail of rarely-used reports. Prioritize the 20% of reports that account for 80% of usage — those are what your users will notice and care about on day one.

Step 2: Install Dotnet Report

Add Dotnet Report to your ASP.NET Core application. This takes approximately 30 minutes:

Configure two controller endpoints in your existing application. Connect to your database — SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or DB2. Verify that tables are visible in the data model and that queries return expected results.

Remove the Java runtime from your deployment environment if Logi Report was the only service requiring it. This is typically one of the most immediately satisfying operational wins.

Step 3: Configure Multi-Tenancy and Security

Map your existing tenant structure to Dotnet Report’s multi-tenant model. Each tenant gets its own workspace with separate reports, dashboards, and — if applicable — separate database connections. Your existing tenant IDs from your .NET authentication system pass through the API automatically.

Configure row-level security using forced filters. These are rules applied at the API layer that ensure users can only access rows they are authorized to see, regardless of how reports are constructed. Map your existing Logi security rules to Dotnet Report’s filter configuration. This typically maps one-to-one for common patterns like tenant ID filters and user role restrictions.

Step 4: Rebuild Your Core Report Library

Start with your top 10–15 most-used reports. In Dotnet Report’s drag-and-drop builder, recreating a typical tabular or chart report takes 5–15 minutes per report. The underlying data is the same — you are connecting the same tables and columns through a different interface.

For Logi Report’s pixel-perfect print-ready reports with complex layouts — particularly if you were using Logi Report for formatted invoice, statement, or regulatory output — budget additional time. Dotnet Report supports formatted output with export to PDF, Excel, Word, and CSV, and scheduled delivery of those exports. Complex pixel-perfect layouts may require additional configuration of calculated columns and formatting rules.

Step 5: Recreate Scheduled Deliveries

For each scheduled report in your Logi configuration, create a corresponding schedule in Dotnet Report. The cron-based scheduler supports the same cadences — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom cron expressions. Delivery can be to static recipient lists or dynamically resolved from your user table at delivery time.

Step 6: Validate Data Accuracy

Run migrated reports side by side with their Logi equivalents. Compare outputs for a representative time period. Verify that filters, groupings, aggregations, and calculated fields produce identical results. Spot-check against source data directly.

Involve your power users in this step. They know what the numbers should look like better than your engineering team does. Getting their sign-off before cutover prevents the most common post-migration support tickets.

Step 7: Customize the Embedded Interface

Dotnet Report’s React frontend is fully open-source. Apply your application’s branding, adjust the report builder layout, add or remove capabilities, and integrate with your existing design system. Customizations you made to the Logi embedded interface via CSS overrides and custom JavaScript can be replicated — typically more cleanly — in the open-source frontend.

Step 8: Cutover and Decommission Logi

Once validation is complete and your embedded report builder is live, redirect users to the Dotnet Report interface. Update navigation links and any deep-linked report URLs in your application.

After a 1–2 week stabilization period, decommission your Logi server. Shut down the Java runtime, remove the license, and notify insightsoftware that you will not be renewing. If your Logi renewal is upcoming, time this migration to complete before that date.

Common Migration Concerns

We use Logi Report for pixel-perfect, print-ready output. Can Dotnet Report handle that?

Dotnet Report supports PDF, Excel, Word, and CSV export with formatted output including headers, footers, page breaks, and conditional formatting. For standard operational reports, this covers the vast majority of use cases. For highly specific pixel-perfect layout requirements — custom invoice templates, regulatory filings — evaluate these specific reports during your free trial before committing.

Our users have been creating their own reports in Logi for years. What happens to those?

User-created reports in Logi Info or Logi Composer exist as report definitions in the Logi data layer. They cannot be automatically imported into Dotnet Report because the formats differ. However, most users can recreate their reports in Dotnet Report’s drag-and-drop builder faster than they originally built them in Logi. Many teams use the migration as an opportunity to rationalize the report library — pruning reports nobody uses and gathering user input on what actually matters.

We have deep integrations with the Logi API in our application code. How much rework does that require?

Dotnet Report provides a full REST API for programmatic report generation and embedding. The API surface is different from Logi’s API, so integration points in your application code will need to be updated. In most cases, this involves updating a handful of controller methods and service calls — typically a few days of focused backend work, not a multi-week effort.

We are on .NET 6 and planning to upgrade to .NET 8. Do we need to wait?

No. Dotnet Report runs on .NET 6, 7, 8, and 9. You can install it on your current application today and carry it forward through your .NET upgrade without any additional migration work. Many teams use the Logi migration as an opportunity to modernize other parts of the stack simultaneously.

What happens to our Logi contract when we migrate?

Your Logi license obligation continues through the end of your current contract term. You can run the migration to Dotnet Report in parallel with your existing Logi deployment, validate, cut over, and then decline renewal when your Logi term expires. The parallel operation period is typically short — 2–6 weeks for most teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What databases does Dotnet Report support?

SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and DB2. If Logi was querying one of these databases, Dotnet Report works with the same connection strings without any schema changes.

Can Dotnet Report replace both Logi Info (dashboards) and Logi Report (operational reports)?

Yes. Dotnet Report provides both an ad hoc report builder and interactive live dashboards in a single platform. You do not need separate tools for analytical self-service and operational reporting — both are covered by one NuGet package and one license.

Does Dotnet Report support Blazor?

Yes. Dotnet Report supports Blazor Server and Blazor WebAssembly. The React-based report builder can be embedded as a component in a Blazor layout, or you can drive report generation entirely through the REST API from within Blazor components.

How does data security work? Does Dotnet Report ever access our data?

No. Dotnet Report runs in-process inside your application. All database queries execute against your database directly from your server. No data passes through Dotnet Report’s infrastructure. The only external communication is a license validation call, which does not transmit any data or schema information.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. You can start a free trial without a credit card. Install the NuGet package, connect your database, and build your first reports before making any commitment. The trial gives you access to all features.

What support is available during migration?

All Dotnet Report plans include access to technical support throughout your migration. You can book a migration assessment call where we review your Logi implementation and map out a migration plan specific to your situation.

How does Dotnet Report pricing compare to Logi Analytics?

Dotnet Report uses flat annual licensing regardless of user count or tenant count. Logi’s pricing scales with users or applications. For SaaS platforms with large or growing user bases, Dotnet Report is typically substantially less expensive. For enterprise deployments with a fixed, small user pool, the comparison is closer.

Next Steps

If you are running Logi Info, Logi Report, or Logi Composer and watching the insightsoftware consolidation play out, you have three realistic paths forward:

1. Wait for insightsoftware to migrate you to Logi Symphony. Accept their timeline, their pricing, and a platform that was not designed specifically for .NET development teams.
2. Migrate proactively to Dotnet Report. Control the timeline, reduce costs, and land on a platform purpose-built for the .NET stack your team works in every day.
3. Evaluate both side by side. Start a free trial of Dotnet Report, rebuild your top 5 reports, and compare the experience directly before committing to either path.

Most teams who run the free trial do not go back. The .NET-native integration, flat pricing, and active development cycle address the three things that pushed them off Logi in the first place.
