What Is Reportal and What Does It Do for Power BI, Crystal Reports, and SSRS?

Reportal is a web-based report distribution portal that publishes, manages, schedules, and securely delivers reports from three source platforms — Microsoft Power BI, SAP Crystal Reports, and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) — through a single interface. It fits teams that already build reports in one or more of those tools but need a centralized, access-controlled way to get them to the right people on a schedule, rather than authoring reports itself.

What Reportal actually does

Reportal sits downstream of your report authoring tools. You keep building Power BI dashboards, Crystal Reports, or SSRS reports where you already do; Reportal handles what happens after that: publishing them to a web portal, controlling who sees what, and automating delivery.

According to the vendor, the platform is described as "a web delivery and distribution solution for Crystal Reports, Microsoft Power BI and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)" that lets you "publish, manage, distribute and schedule your reports from a single web platform."

The three supported report sources are:

Core capabilities

The vendor lists these as key features:

• Full web-based management — administration happens in the browser.
• Comprehensive security model — control access to reports and portal functions.
• Multi-factor authentication — an additional login factor beyond a password.
• Powerful scheduler with bursting capabilities — automate when reports go out and split ("burst") a single report to multiple recipients based on their data.
• Easy point-and-click publishing — publish reports without scripting.
• Extensive integration API — connect Reportal to other systems programmatically.
• Localization support for multiple languages — the interface can serve non-English users.
• Scalable architecture — sized to grow with your needs.
• Cost-effective licensing model — the vendor positions licensing as economical, though no specific prices are published on the page.

The portal also supports dashboards and user and group management, so you can organize recipients and permissions rather than assigning access one person at a time.

When Reportal is the right fit

Choose Reportal when your problem is delivery, not authoring:

• You already have reports in Power BI, Crystal Reports, or SSRS and need one place to publish and distribute them.
• You need scheduled, automated delivery instead of people logging into separate tools.
• You need per-recipient or per-group access control, ideally with multi-factor authentication.
• You need to burst a report to many recipients, each seeing only their slice.
• You want an API to integrate distribution into existing systems.

It is not a report authoring or BI modeling tool — you still need Power BI, Crystal Reports, or SSRS to create the reports in the first place.

How to evaluate it

The vendor page offers several entry points for assessment: an Evaluate section, a View demo option, a Download Fact Sheet link, and a contact form for Power BI, Crystal Reports, SSRS, automation, demo, or other inquiries. Pricing is not published on the page, so licensing cost has to be confirmed directly with the vendor.
