1. Integration with T-SQL queries and stored procs and the ability to create reports really quickly. 2. Very easy to configure, set up and update Reporting Services 3. The ability to automate report delivery using standard or data driven subscriptions and create schedules for a user or file system to receive them.

SSRS feels dated compared to modern cloud native BI tools. The development experience is rigid, visualisations are limited and there is no real service layer for the end user. Scaling and managing deployments can also become cumbersome compared to browser-based, cloud-first solutions.
