Reports from Community Edition

What is available these days for Reporting Apps to spin lists/reports off of the CE SugarCRM data ?
Basically I am trying to spin lists off my data externally without having to login, click-click-click etc :-)
Platform doesn't matter - We have Mac & Windws & Linux Server

Options vary quite a bit, from the simple and crude to the highly sophisticated. Which you should use will vary based on your comfort level with the tools and your needs.

A good example of crude and simple is the use of a PHP script. The Sugar database is wide open. If you are familiar with the database structure, you can easily create a PHP script that extracts the data you need. Very simple/crude, but gets the job done.

The most popular solution is the use of ZuckerReports, a reporting module you can download and install from sugarforge.org

If you have expertise with Crystal Reports, you can use that too. The same is true for MS-SQL Reporting Services.
