This week my team spent way too much time trying to do simple things in reporting services, and I've decided to start evaluating other options.
I know there are some good options out there now that aren't too expensive. I've heard that Telerik, ActiveReports, and a few others are widely used.
I was hoping to get some first hand accounts regarding reporting tools that you've used. Specifically, I definitely want to hear your thoughts about:
- Pain points and gotchas you ran into.
- Ease of use for report design. It's a little bizarre to me that Access still seems to hold the throne in this area!
- What's your favorite tool?
- Anything I've missed that seems important to you.
Thanks a lot!
