Jonathan, I've used GoodData in the past. It was decently. I think they've done a ton of updates since I've used them.
Tableau is the big player in this space. That said, I think they're also the most expensive. But they also have a ton of platforms (web, desktop, etc). Amazon is in preview mode for it's QuickSight BI tool. I've signed up, but I still haven't heard from them. It's super cheap, but thats all I really know about it. I've seen some cool demos on IBM Watson, but I believe it's expensive and has a high learning curve. BIME is my current favorite. It runs around $700 / month. If it's just reports that you want, you may want to look at Chart.io. They do have BI Analytics as well, but I haven't looked into that much. I hope that helps! Let us know where you end up.
