Hi All,

I'm looking for answers on what should be the criteria for choosing what platform to use for different types of reporting requirements. For instance

ER - Good for configurable documents, use it for most customer-facing documents or legal reporting requirements. Microsoft also recommends using ER over SSRS.

SSRS - Can be used for documents, but it doesn't give configurable powers to the users. It can be used for analytical reports.

PowerBI - Use for analytical reports only. Consider license and pricing.

What are the general considerations when designing?

This topic is briefly covered in F&O documentation: Create reporting solutions. There they consider other options too, such as Excel; unfortunately it doesn't include ER.
