My company is transitioning from legacy software that makes extensive use of Crystal Reports and we are looking for a tool compatible with Blazor. Many options come up in a Google search, but we don't have enough experience with the platform to make an intelligent choice. 

Does anyone have recommendations? What are some of the pros and cons of the various tools that you use?

    you need to list your requirements. with web application the report engine typically run on a server and is called by server code. some will have a seperate web ui (which with blazor would be hosted in an iframe), some have callable api.

    report delivery is also a decision. will the report server print to a printer on the servers network, or will it be a download to the client (typically a pdf).

    Thanks for the response. We are mainly looking at creating an enterprise level multi-component server-side app. We may have some WASM-based components for field use, but they will probably not have the reporting modules available. The backend database is Microsoft SQL server.

    We have looked at Bold, Telerik, and Stimulsoft products and would consider open source solutions as well.

    Power BI is the best tool in my opinion. See: Create View and Edit Power BI Reports In Blazor

    It depends on how much money you want to pay. Telerik is a good choice. You should also use the Blazor library. There are also other manufacturers. If you use MS SQL you can also use this reporting.

    Hi. RussDFM we are in a similar transition from crystalreports based reporting and legacy systems. To web-based systems that should have full functionality including reporting. Kindly after your research which reporting tool did you settle on. We have so far implemented Blazor with rdlc reports. Working but we are facing caching issues which limits what you can do with it. We have considered bold but unnecessaryly complex in multireporting environment, poor surpport and very scarse learning materials. We are considering stimulsoft. Kindly which one did you settle for?
