We are currently experiencing a major evolution of the MSBI reporting toolset in accordance with the Microsoft BI Roadmap announced in October 2015. This diagram depicts current state the way I understand it:
Each item above is "tagged" with where it is originally created:
- Analytical reports: produced in Excel
- Interactive reports: produced in Power BI Desktop
- Paginated reports: produced in Reporting Services (SSDT) or Report Builder
- Mobile reports: produced in the Mobile Report Publisher (previously Datazen)
The four primary report types are in the process of becoming more deeply integrated into:
- The Power BI Service (a cloud service), and
- Reporting Services portal (on-premises portal option - note that it requires SQL Server 2016 in native mode).
As you'll see on the above diagram, every report type isn't compatible everywhere yet though I expect we'll see that over time. As things evolve, I'll keep the diagram updated. Hope you find it useful!
