Besides MasterMine, no option including StoneField Query or Crystal Reports, really allows you to do data analysis or data management, which are huge additional benefits of MasterMine. But even considering only reporting, you have these choices:

GoldMine Report Writer

Built into GoldMine, the capabilities of this tool are quite limited. GoldMine pros generally steer end users away because it requires a great deal of database knowledge and patience.

SQL Reporting Services

A highly technical, “programmer” tool. Users must know the GoldMine CRM Data schema and be quite familiar with Transact-SQL, field expressions, and GoldMine back-end conventions. Average users cannot be expected to create reports, and typically hiring professionals to do this is not cost- or time-effective.

Crystal Reports

The industry standard for generic (non-GoldMine-specific) reporting, but not user-friendly and requires users to have much more technical information and know-how. Reports take MUCH longer to create, don’t integrate with GoldMine, are inflexible for end-users.

MS Access or Excel

Same limitations as above. Also, these are not built to be report-writing solutions and therefore don’t even have the usual report-related conveniences built in.

MasterMine

Puts information into user’s “hands” up front, for easy, WYSIWYG-style drag-and-drop to get final results. Branch off any report to create new reports immediately. So integrated with GoldMine you can drill through to “pop” GoldMine records, build GoldMine CRM Groups from any segment in the report, re-shuffle fields, convert tables to graphs, filter on anything graphically (no need for SQL expression builders) — all with immediate results. MasterMine is simply easier, faster, better.

  • GoldMine 5.x up to Premium Edition 2016
    The same functionality in any case.
  • SQL 7, 2000, 2005, 2008, or 2012, 2014
    Both SQL and dBase are served by the same version of MasterMine, and look virtually identical.
  • MS Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013, 2016 (32-bit)
    Office 2003 has significant improvements for PivotTables, both for users and the back end, and is more stable.
    Office 2007, 2010, and 2013, 2016 have greater functionality and are highly recommended.
  • Windows 2000 or higher, including Windows 7 and Windows 8.x, Windows 10
  • 512 MB RAM minimum
    For larger data files (more than a few thousand contacts or 20,000 history records), 2 GB or more is highly recommended.
  • High-speed Networks
    Network speed can be a bottleneck if large files are queried. See the user manual for hints on query efficiency.
