What Datylon is
Datylon Report Studio is a browser-based application for producing on-brand periodic reports from templates. Users create custom templates with the Datylon plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, then upload them to Report Studio; the web app itself is not a drag-and-drop report editor. Reports can use XLS, XLSX, and CSV files, plus Google Sheets and OneDrive XLS. The product describes more than 130 customizable chart types and support for data-driven infographics, illustrations, and text. Finished reports can be downloaded as PDF, PNG, or SVG, or embedded in external apps and websites. The free plan includes unlimited Report Studio access, custom templates, an online chart editor, downloads, and embedding or export. Illustrator Professional costs €21 a month billed yearly, while Premium costs $37 a month billed yearly. An Enterprise plan has custom pricing. A 14-day Illustrator trial requires no card and can be activated once.
