It is all of that. I reviewed a number of reporting schemes to replace our 
plain vanilla reports. One criteria was a sysadmin could create reports on 
their own without requiring our support. Jasper, Crystal. SRSS, amd a few 
others that I forget, and the only one I saw that I would turn loose on a 
sysadmin was Power BI. 

We did some work with FastReport and while I don't think any of our 
clients would be up to the task I did come up with a ASP.NET solution 
using Chart.js to produce the pretty pictures so loved by managers. The 
problem again was they were canned reports that realistically would never 
be configured by site personnel.
