The Wise Owl Recommendation
Before I give my recommendation, can I take this moment to emphasise that we have no vested interest, as we train in both SSRS and Report Builder.
That said ... I haven't exactly sat on the fence during this blog, but I'm certainly going to come off it now and say:
I've had two or three courses where clients booked a Report Builder course, and switched to Reporting Services halfway through.
However, it doesn't make too much difference which product you choose, as underneath their very different exteriors are two almost-identical software applications.
