Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Reviews

The standard reports provided by the product are very useful. While creating templates, like in the case of welcome letters, to help our company deal with its customers, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services can be very useful.

In Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, not much of the interface part is used. With Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, its users face issues with the interface after they use Excel or create Microsoft SSIS Packages. The tool's interface is an area of concern requiring improvement.

There needs to be an improvement in the product's connectivity so that the tool can connect easily with other third-party databases. In the dashboard, drag and drop functionality needs to improve, especially when compared to other tools like IBM Cognos Analytics and Qlik Sense.

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services is useful only for standard reports. In IBM Cognos Analytics, query studio can be used by users to drag the data and simply download the reports, so the user doesn't need to have any technical knowledge like developers. Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services is to be improved to offer features like query Studio, which is provided in IBM Cognos Analytics.

I am responsible for administrating databases for close to a hundred different applications. Seven or eight of them actively use Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, although my role mainly involves ensuring access levels and monitoring the database system.

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services has been functional whenever I needed to use it. The resources I found for questions were at least satisfactory, if not overwhelming. There are some tools within SQL Server Studio for performing SQL analysis, either live or with a saved XML trace.

In this solution, the cost should be reduced for the enterprise edition. Customers are looking for high availability for applications, but due to the high license cost, they may not agree. Microsoft should consider and think about the cost and licensing for the enterprise edition.

The manual setup is a bigger benefit. It is easy to use and the interface is very friendly.

QL Server can support the customer language in the long term, so we can use another language to build some components.

We use the solution to generate reports for end customers and our organization.

The solution mainly provides capabilities to generate reports which can be consumed by end consumers and our business as well. There is no need to go for an alternative platform.

We use Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) for management dashboard and reporting purposes. It's useful for user reporting and administrative tasks like monitoring and checking progress.

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is reliable for management dashboard and reporting purposes. It is helpful for user reporting and administrative tasks, such as monitoring progress. It is easy to use since it is lightweight and integrates well with the SQL Server database, making reporting straightforward.

The visualization capabilities enhance our reporting needs with good pagination and KPI features. It integrates well with data servers and workbooks, allowing us to publish reports on mobile applications and tablets easily. Integrating other tools and platforms in our tech ecosystem is generally straightforward. However, if we need to perform something very specialized, we might have to use third-party tools rather than inbuilt options.

When the data source is Microsoft-related, like, Excel or Microsoft products in general, I prefer to use SSRS. The most important thing is I can export the data from different formats at the end. This is one of the main features we love of the SQL Server, SSRS.

There is room for improvement in the setup process. The setup is difficult because you have to install different servers. It's complicated because it stops working and does not have support. We don't have a version for Mac. We have some developers who use Mac, so it's hard to provide them with the product they have to use and the virtualization.

We use it to create reports within our internal systems, specifically our proprietary systems. So it's integrated into our existing applications.

We were able to embed the report builder within our internal proprietary systems, improving our reporting capabilities.
