A number of recent in-depth reviews of end-user reporting tools all
seem to say the same thing; Impromptu from Gognos is one of the best.
It has has extensive administration control that, while taking some
time to set up, will keep your end users out of a lot of trouble.
If database protection is not a concern, then Crystal Reports
Professional is another possibility. It's fast and flexible, but
doesn't protect as well against runaway SQL.
