Hi All,

It just got into my mind ,  are there any limitations in Report Studio ?    better answer would come out when we compare with other analytical or reporting tools. But in general  if you know  / come across any limitations with report studio  , please share

Thanks !!!

I tried to get it to wash my windows and fold all the laundry but I can't find the correct set of properties. Or maybe Java script is required for that.  :D

As an attempt to answer the question more seriously, I find there is a lot that can be done when the tool is used for it's intended purpose. This is significantly easier when the underlying data is well architected, of good quality, reflective of necessary business requirements and (of course) modeled well in Framework Manager.

Personally I think you'll find the better answer comes from listing out specific requirements that are most important in your environment and then comparing various tools per that list. Ideally you would further weight each criteria to identify importance and allow scoring of the assessment.

Finally, Gartner spends a tremendous amount of time and effort comparing various tools so you might consider looking into their findings:
