Hi,
We currently use a fairly basic reporting system to report from our SQL data sources. It's easy for end users to create new reports--they drag and drop columns that they want, can add simple criteria, etc. They can also easily export the reports in a number of different formats (xml, csv, excel, pdf, etc.). Although I haven't worked a ton with SSRS, I know it's extremely powerful, but from an end user perspective for building simply reports, is it a relatively easy tool to use?
Thanks,
Mike

It's not the most easiest tool, because users have to write their own queries. Unless they all use stored procedures or shared datasets.
Or you can use the report model (some sort of metadata framework) in older versions, but that has been deprecated.
An easier tool is Power View, but currently it's editing options are very limited.

Hi Koen,
Thanks for the response!
Can you recommend any other good end-user reporting tools besides Power View that have good options and are user friendly?
Thanks,
Mike

You can take a look at Targit, Qlikview and Tableau.
