ReportServer
Wiesbaden, Germany
What it is
ReportServer is an open-source business intelligence platform for companies that need to create, analyze and deliver reports. It supports Eclipse BIRT, JasperReports, SAP Crystal Reports, script reports, ad-hoc analyses, Mondrian OLAP, and Excel or Word reporting. Dynamic Lists produce ad-hoc lists for Excel, PDF or XML, while configurable dashboards can include reports and HTML5 micro-apps. Reports and maintenance scripts can run on recurring schedules. Access controls use hierarchical objects, groups, ACLs, ACEs and user variables. Authentication supports usernames and passwords, with options for Active Directory or scripted single sign-on. ReportServer connects to relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SAP HANA and Google BigQuery, and can send data to destinations including FTP, email, cloud storage and local filesystems. It runs as a Java Servlet web application with metadata in a relational database. Community Edition is free under an AGPL license. Enterprise Edition costs €3,999 once, including one year of upgrades; renewal costs €1,999.
