I like that it is very easy, intuitively designed with many useful features which are not offered by other tools (such as BIRT). Easy deployment; simple configuration of reports within an existing data model or via SQL scripts if you prefer so much! The product does its job well but lacks some features such as support for external datasources/datasets etc., also there could be more documentation about how things work behind the scenes - maybe this should come from another platform? We have been using RPDE since 2 years now without any issues at all. It has become our standard tool when working together with BI colleagues who use different products. Our business partners rely heavily upon us providing their customers up-to date information regarding current stock levels across multiple sites / locations.
