We use Microsoft SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) - you develop reports in MS Visual Studio using the business intelligence module (a component of MS SQL Management studio) and publish to the SSRS web site for users to subscribe and export data into various formats.
This was the cheapest option for us since we already owned SSRS and had the report developer skills to do so - however this option requires more SQL knowledge and remedy db schema experience.

What we really want is just the ability to view a Crytal report in the midtier. Both products have a ton more functionalty than we will ever use but CRS appears to be the smaller (cheaper) of the two products. Are there any other alternatives?
