SQL Server BI Manager
Chose SQL Server Business Intelligence Manager
For our small environment, we already had Idera SQL Diagnostics manager so we felt like that would be good enough and not pay for the extra licensing. If we had a bigger BI footprint, we could certainly have had a good business case for it.
