The best part for me is the way it handle scheduling and automating the reports. Before I was doing things manual and wasting lot of time, now I can just setup once and the tool deliver reports by email or other format without me doing nothing. It also support many export options and the data driven part make it flexible for different clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the interface feel a bit old style and not very intuitive at first. Also configuration can take some time if you are new to it. A bit more modern UI and faster setup wizard would make it perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's super easy to use once configured. It connects directly with SSRS and allows us to publish reports via JAMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don't have any complaints. It's perfectly fine as-is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In data driven automation this product lags when data is huge and takes too much time in rendering the data to desired output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I most like about SQL-RD is the chance to not only automate classical reports, but also job routines that are not necessarily linked by sending a report. In fact, it is very easy to set up a job via GUI by clicking on the custom actions button and then selecting your kind of job, such as running a program, sending a copy of a document, and so on.

What I don't like is that it is not an open source solution and as a consequence, we need to rely on their support, which I assume to be expensive. Another negative point is that the code is not readable, and this could be a weakness in terms of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) It is a best solution to automate the process. User can get scheduled and ad hoc reports at a very specific time.

2) User can receive reports in the preferred format.

3) It also provides Windows authentication. So, we need not worry about usernames and passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) It is costly.

2) SQL RD SSRS reports do not have enough templates to work with. It requires me to create custom templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) SSRS has very effective options in creating a report according to business needs.

2) The report builder version is very user-friendly and looks more like our MS word interface feel.

3) Multiple data sources can be connected and datasets can be connected to create a report.

4) SSRS enables us to create reports and publish them to public or subscribes members based on the criticality of the report.

5) Linked reports help in duplicating reports based on the report, rather than creating a new one every time for similar reports.

6) Subreports option helps us in linking two different reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) It is a little complex in understanding the complete structure and functionality.

2) With experience, we would gain more knowledge and functional knowledge Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's user friendly. The rich GUI and interface helps both developers and customers have a great experience working with this tool. Plus it's very easy to build complex functionality in reports using simple sql statements and adding few formulas. Bar chart are the most commonly feature used.

It would have been really great if there was a mechanism to have dual axis functionality in SSRS reports. Currently to display different variations of a single data set, one has to create separate dashboards and views which is never a very good idea. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not user friendly in terms of functionality must have a tech background or it is hard to comprehend for first time users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have all of our customer data loaded into SSRS, along with pricing terms- so SSRS is helpful in determining margin, cost etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SSRS is EXTREMELY taxing on our system, oftentimes taking upwards of 15-20 minutes to pull data, depending on the report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
