MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting System-.NET versus Java reporting system.

Hi experts,

I am needing some suggestions on choosing a robust reporting system. I am considering to use either MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting System-.NET or Java open-source reporting system such as JFreeChart, Jasper, etc. Based on your experiences, can you pls give me some insights as to which software is preferable compared to the other (i.e. what each can/can't do, robustness especially working with large volume of data, user-friendliness, stability, connectivity to different databases, query time) besides the fact that .NET can't run on UNIX server?
Your inputs are greatly appreciated.

JFreeReport is indeed, quite good:

If you have an MS SQL database, then you should be fine with MS SQL reporting system. However, I hope you are not introducing MS SQL Server into the picture just for the sake of reporting! What is your data repository? If it is MS SQL Server, you can just use its reporting features

Our data repository is Teradata. I understand that I should not introduce SQL Server just for the sake of reporting, however we are having some challenges with some BI tools and would like to consider some alternatives to get the data out.
