Allow Third Party Reporting Services within Clarity
An option in the Reports module that allows customers to host their own reports using external reporting tools (like Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services) would allow providers to run and schedule those reports as needed within Clarity without requiring them to be built using the default Pentaho report.

We are declining to pursue this capability at this time.
Our team has a number of concerns that would need to be addressed before we could begin development of such a feature, including data ownership concerns, client privacy concerns and reusability concerns.
We do generally encourage customers toward using Data Analysis (Looker) to address custom reporting needs. If Data Analysis is not meeting a specific need, we are open to working with customers to address those needs either through additional Data Analysis support or, if Looker really cannot address the needs, support for data interoperability with third-party solutions.
