I think Windows data application make easy and faster to insert data.

You could have both. Build a framework maybe using web services for the data entry and you can then have both a windows client and a web one. To answer the question though, it will be easier to do this via a windows client. The client tools are richer and easier to code for, doing a decent web interface will take more time and will ultimately be slower for the user. As already mentioned though, anyone can use the web interface and rolling out updates is easier. To use a windows app people need to install it and updates are harder to manage.

What you have to consider is where the people doing data-entry will work. If the working environment is an office with it's own network that used on all the computers used by the workers a desktop application can do the work. But if data entry will be done from different locations or mixed between office and outside-office locations a web based application will be better choice...
