What do you like best about ReportServer?
ReportServer, which first offers us a lifeboat away from Crystal Reports, and also provides us a path to JasperReports, BIRT, or even script based reports, at a reasonable price.
The idea of database “bundles”, which make it easy to use the same report for many clients or Organizational Units, as the engine automatically selects the correct database. This relieves us of two major issues – initial report distribution as well as distribution of updates, both of which are eliminated. The ability for technical users to create variants of existing reports is great, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ReportServer?
I feel that the documentation could be more complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ReportServer?
RS has integrated interface, which can show reports, static HTML and URL together. This provides multiple options for users to choose from.
Multiple dashboard gadgets (dadget) are supported. Multiple DBMS systems can be connected to ReportServer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ReportServer?
RS does not have built-in plotting tools. RS's reports are only table-based, which limits the visualization functionality of this product. In order to use visualization, third-party tools/libraries must be imported, which interface sometimes is difficult to integrate smoothly with the interface of ReportServer.
RS support exporting data into html, pdf, json, and csv format, but it does now allow users to customize the exporting format. E.g. the exported csv files uses semicolon (";") as separator instead of comma. Hopefully the exporting format can be customized in the future versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ReportServer?
Offers a wide variety of options for reporting on relational databases and warehouses. Several open source reporting tools such as Jasper, BIRT and other systems are included as well as my favorite method, "Dynamic Lists" which are a way to create SQL reports directly through their web client. Using Bitnami's pre-made ReportServer package made server setup and config unnecessary and saved us a ton of time and headache! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ReportServer?
Currently, there appears to be no way to customize Dynamic List table styling, but apparently there are plans to add this functionality in the future. Also, ran into a few Java issues (incorrect version) with the Bitnami package that we implemented, but otherwise the process was relatively smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ReportServer?
Scripting reports gives total freedom to create reports, charts and other kinds of informational panels. All the structure eases the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ReportServer?
The translation to Portuguese isn't fine, but the team is receptive to contributions. The user interface needs a revamp, does not support mobile and is not responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ReportServer?
The security and permission management, its very usefull where there are a lot of people with diferent roles using reportserver. Also the UI is very intuitive and friendly.
The possibility of creating hierarchies when adding new reports and data sources is helpfull, because i have diferrent departments in my institution , and i arrange the reports and datasource according to the organisational structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ReportServer?
It looks like , the only way to activate new users is via email. i do not like this option, i think it would be better if administrators could active new users whithout having to send them emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ReportServer?
Flexibility - The system can be adjusted to needs of very different users: people who prefer self-service BI and ones that want predefined reports designed for them. This is particularly important for us as our company has many clients with diverse needs.
Support - The Team is present on the free forum. We have commercial support services and we are very happy about it, as if any problems arise, they are solved quickly. In this way we have immediate access to system and documentation updates.
Scripting and advances features - Many standard features can be extended through scripts written in Groovy. Script datasources allow to connect data coming from more than one database or to get data from websites, files etc. Script reports give unlimited possibilities - in terms of data processing and report lay-outs.
Templates - Dynamic list report allow to use jxls, velocity and xdocs templates. In this way we can create well-looking Excell reports (sometimes even with macros!), html reports with charts or serial correspondence in Word.
Automatically created reports' documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about ReportServer?
The documentation could be more extended (in some areas) and give more examples of potential use cases.
Would be nice to have more data visualisation options for users without programming skills.
Community involvement - would be nice to see how other people use the system, share our experience and inspire each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
