How would you rate the different reporting tools?

Hi Roobaron

Basically there is no rating for the repoting tools.Each of the tool has its unique characteristics and are utilised for each application in the business activity.Few mentioned reporting tools namely Penataho BI, IntelliVIEW, etc are Open source BI, which adds an advantage for the end users to evaluate the functionality of the product more effectively.
