I can connect to Integration Services and Analysis Server via the SQL Server Management Studio, but not to the Report. This worked for me too. My ReportServer is on port 82.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) provides a set of on-premises tools and services that create, deploy, and manage mobile and paginated reports.

Create, deploy, and manage mobile and paginated reports

The SSRS solution flexibly delivers the right information to the right users. Users can consume the reports via a web browser, on their mobile device, or via email.

SQL Server Reporting Services offers an updated suite of products:

  • 'Traditional' paginated reports brought up to date, so you can create modern-looking reports, with updated tools and new features for creating them.
  • New mobile reports with a responsive layout that adapts to different devices and the different ways you hold them.
  • A modern web portal you can view in any modern browser. In the new portal, you can organize and display mobile and paginated Reporting Services reports and KPIs. You can also store Excel workbooks on the portal.

Read on for more about each.

Paginated reports

Reporting Services is associated with 'traditional' paginated reports, ideal for fixed-layout documents optimized for printing, such as PDF and Word files.

That core BI workload still exists today, so we've modernized it. Now you can create modern-looking reports with updated new features, using Report Builder, or Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

  • We updated all the default styles and color palettes, so by default you create reports with a new minimalist modern style.
  • We updated the Parameter pane, so you can arrange parameters however you want.
  • You can export to new formats such as PowerPoint. Reporting Services visualizations in PowerPoint are live and editable, not just screenshots.
  • You can create a hybrid Power BI/Reporting Services experience: Rather than recreating your on-premises Reporting Services reports in Power BI, you can pin visuals from those reports to your Power BI dashboards. Then you can monitor everything in one place on your Power BI dashboard.

Mobile reports

Mobile computing has shifted the devices we need to work, meaning people today have a different reporting need. The fixed-layout report experience doesn't work well when you introduce tablets and phones. Something designed for a wide PC screen isn't the optimal experience on a small phone screen that's not just smaller but a portrait or landscape orientation.

What you need with these widely different screen form factors is a responsive layout that adapts to these different screen sizes and orientations. For that we've added a new report type: mobile reports, based on the Datazen technology we acquired about a year ago and integrated into the product. You can migrate your existing Datazen reports to Reporting Services with the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Datazen.

You create these mobile reports in the new Mobile Report Publisher app. Then in the native Power BI apps for mobile devices for Windows 10, iOS, Android, and HTML5, you can access the data you have in Power BI, the cloud, or SSRS.

As you create visualizations, Mobile Report Publisher automatically generates sample data. This feature allows you to see how the visualization will look with your data, and what kind of data works well in each visualization.

Web portal

For end users of native-mode Reporting Services, the front door is a modern web portal you can view in most browsers. You can access all your Reporting Services mobile, paginated reports, and KPIs in the new portal. KPIs can surface key business metrics at a glance in the browser, without having to open a report.

The new web portal is a complete rewrite of Report Manager. Now it's a single-page, standards-based HTML5 app, which modern browsers are optimized for: Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10 and 11, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and all the major browsers.

The content on the web portal is organized by type:

  • paginated reports
  • mobile reports
  • KPIs
  • Excel workbooks
  • shared datasets
  • shared data sources

You can store and manage them securely here, in the traditional folder hierarchy. Tag your favorites reports for quick access. Those with appropriate permissions are able tp manage and administer SSRS content.

And you can still schedule report processing, access reports on demand, and subscribe to published reports in the new web portal.

Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode

You publish reports to Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode. You can schedule report processing, access reports on demand, subscribe to published reports, and export reports to other applications such as Microsoft Excel. Create data alerts on reports published to a SharePoint site and receive email messages when report data changes.

Reporting Services programming features

Take advantage of Reporting Services programming features so you can extend and customize your reporting functionality. Use the SSRS APIs to integrate or extend data and report processing in custom applications.

I have used bothAlthough Crystal Reports is very well known and widely used. It can be a hassle at times (Not saying that SQL Server reporting services is not a hassle sometimes.)
Pros for Crystal Reports

  • Many people use it and understand how to use it.
  • Its ability in the creation of more basic to intermediate reports quickly is a plus.
  • Even if you don't know SQL you can still fiddle with Crystal Reports to get the result you want, and flatten out the data.
  • Supports Dynamic Cascading Prompts (version XI and Higher)
  • Supports Web Viewer, ActiveX, Java and HTML.

Cons for Crystal Reports

  • Crystal's Report Design Component seems to be full of strange scenarios.
  • I believe because the software haschanged hands so many times. Documentation is pretty limited forthe Report Design Component.
  • A beginner can definitely create anice formatted report quickly andeasily, but when it comes to morecomplex reports where performance isneeded. Going back to understandingSQL is necessary.

Pros for SQL Server Reporting

  • Web Based Reporting Server
  • Report Rendering Engine supports anumber of formats (Excel, HTML,Image, and more)
  • Publishing and scheduling is a partof Reporting Services. In crystal youneed Crystal Reports Server orBusiness Objects Enterprise forPublishing and scheduling. Or youwould need to create your own customapp)
  • Parameter prompting is nicer in myopinion
  • Saved Data sources can be accessed byexcel users.
  • User login and permissions are built in.
  • Subscriptions are a built in feature

Cons for SQL Server Reporting

  • It can sometimes be a pain to implement
  • the Report builder feature for building simple reports is somewhat limited
  • The best report builder is Visual Studio's Business Intelligence Studio. This is only a con because for a beginning end user this could seem overwhelming

In all SQL Server Reporting Services is my pick.

I use SSRS in a big project and start using it from 3 years ago. it is a very good solution. I recommend you to use SSRS not Crystal Reports.

Crystal Reports - 780 MB
Report Builder - 30 MB (still better and easier to use)
