Hi all,
With Crystal Reports being deprecated, was weighing the alternatives available for regular users to create business reporting. Anyone who has used both Power BI and Business Reporter, what are your thoughts? How do they compare against the visuals, limitations, configurability, integaration with IFS, access etc.
I know Power BI will need premium licensing and will have to host the reports on a workspace for them to work.
I think this largely depends on your scenario and where these reports are to be consumed.
My general opinion: Power BI > Business Reporter.
If you were creating custom reports in Crystal, then Power BI might be your best option.
If your Crystal Reports were Excel friendly, look into the Business Reporter. Although, you may find yourself having to extend the existing Information Sources or creating new ones.
