Why do teams choose on-premises reporting software?
Teams choose the Bold Reports On-Premises Edition when the deciding factor is where report data is allowed to sit.
Data residency rules require records to remain within specific countries or regions, and the vendor's available data center locations may not support your compliance requirements.
Security policies prohibit outbound connections from production databases to third-party analytics endpoints. In some environments, no network egress is permitted at all.
Legacy report servers still generate invoices, statements, and regulatory documents the business depends on. Replacing them often means rebuilding report definitions from scratch.
Bold Reports removes that choice. A modern designer, modern embedding SDKs, and modern deployment targets running entirely on your hardware, reading the RDL report files you already have.

Here's why our customers love us
Reviews of Bold Reports from customers on G2, Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice.
Bold Reports is a user-friendly and powerful reporting tool. The desktop designer and writer for .NET Core make report creation easy, and connecting to databases is seamless. It’s a great solution for generating offers, invoices, and reports in our CRM app.
Muhammed Y
Co-Founder & Full-Stack Developer
We switched from SSRS with little effort. It works great in our WPF and Blazor applications, supports our old reports, and lets developers create new ones easily. The pricing is fair for ISVs, and the support team is fast and helpful. Onboarding was smooth and responsive.
Aaron S
CEO
Bold Reports was easy to integrate and works smoothly. It creates clean, professional-looking reports, and the documentation is clear with plenty of helpful examples. I had no issues during setup and it was a great experience overall.
Domenico D
Funzionario
Bold Reports is easy to use, enabling both teams and business users to modify reports confidently. Setup is quick and smooth. It integrates well with SQL Server, Microsoft Fabric, and other tools, reduces infrastructure complexity, and works reliably for recurring reports.

Frequently Asked Questions
On-premises reporting software is a reporting platform installed and operated inside your own infrastructure. You create, manage, schedule, and distribute reports while retaining control over the servers, data, security policy, and upgrade timeline. Nothing is processed on an external vendor's cloud.
Yes. Bold Reports opens native RDL files, the same report definition format used by SSRS, so existing reports can be reused instead of rebuilt. Migration effort scales with report complexity rather than report count.
Yes. Bold Reports operates without outbound internet connectivity, including in fully offline and air-gapped data centers.
An air-gapped deployment is a software installation on a network that is isolated from the internet and from other external networks, so no data enters or leaves over a network connection. Bold Reports On-Premises Edition can be installed in an air-gapped data center on Windows Server, Linux, Docker, or Kubernetes, and it operates without outbound internet connectivity once installed.
With cloud reporting software the vendor operates the servers; with on-premises reporting software your own team installs and runs it on infrastructure you control. Bold Reports offers both with the same reporting features. Bold Reports Cloud Edition runs on shared infrastructure operated by Bold Reports, with automatic upgrades. Managed Private Cloud runs on dedicated infrastructure operated by Bold Reports in your preferred region, with upgrades scheduled with you. The On-Premises Edition runs in your own data center, on your upgrade timeline, and supports air-gapped operation.
Choose by how much operational responsibility your team wants and where report data is allowed to sit. Bold Reports Cloud Edition fits teams that want hands-off deployment with no servers to run. Managed Private Cloud fits regulated teams that cannot use shared SaaS and need isolation without self-hosting. The Bold Reports On-Premises Edition fits teams that need complete control, strict data residency, or an air-gapped install, and that can operate the servers themselves.
Yes. Bold Reports On-Premises Edition is self-hosted on servers you own, so sensitive report data stays in your data center and inside the countries or regions your residency rules require. Bold Reports connects to databases within your network, applies role-based permissions and row-level security, and sends no report data to Bold Reports.
Yes. Bold Reports supports Active Directory, Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID), Okta, and any provider that supports OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, or SAML, along with Windows Authentication.
Yes. SDKs are available for .NET, JavaScript, Angular, React, and Blazor, with REST APIs for deeper customization. This makes them suitable for internal portals, enterprise applications, and customer-facing SaaS products.
Because Bold Reports runs entirely inside your infrastructure, report data stays within the environment you already govern. That supports your existing data protection controls and residency requirements. Bold Reports is a tool you operate and does not, by itself, make an organization compliant with any regulation.
Bold Reports embedding SDKs for .NET, JavaScript, Angular, React, and Blazor work with the Bold Reports On-Premises Edition, so your application embeds reports rendered by a report server inside your own network, including an air-gapped network. REST APIs for provisioning, rendering, and automation run in the same self-hosted deployment. See Embedded Reporting for the SDK details.
Yes. Bold Reports supports single sign-on through Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, and identity providers that use OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect, and it also supports LDAP and Windows Authentication sign-in. In the On-Premises Edition you connect the report server to the identity provider and directory you already operate during setup. Setup steps are on the Bold Reports authentication page.
Yes. Bold Reports opens RDL and RDLC report files, the report definition formats used by SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), and runs them outside SQL Server on Windows Server, Linux, Docker, or Kubernetes with the On-Premises Edition, or hosted in Bold Reports Cloud Edition and Managed Private Cloud. Microsoft documents SSRS as a set of on-premises tools and services for paginated reports. Moving existing reports is covered in the SSRS migration guide.
Current Bold Reports On-Premises Edition plans and what each includes are listed on the Bold Reports pricing page, which is the single source for prices. For a quote that matches your deployment size, request a demo and the Bold Reports team will prepare one.
