SQL Server 2005 Express Edition - Report Designer

Just had a call from McKesson (a pharmaceutical company). They had a requirement for the creation of fairly complicated multi-section end user reports by non-technical people. My final recommendation was to use the development tools that come with SQL Server Express Edition to design the reports.

One thing to note: To have full design functionality for reports, the SQL Express Toolkit also needs to be installed on the developer machines. You can get this toolkit from

Can anyone recommend the top Managed Service tool for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central asset management
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
