Better Reporting / Dynamic Reporting

I've recently switched over to Solarwinds from Cisco PrimeLMS and Statseeker. Though I can't be happier with the NCM and UDT modules, the reporting features in NPM leave much to be desired. I really miss being able to dynamically create a report on the fly simply by selecting what devices/interfaces I want to report on, then selecting the features I want in the report. In Solarwinds on the other hand I have to build out a complicated report that makes me feel like I should learn databases as a second career in order to interact with my reports. It seems like if you are very database proficient it is probably a very powerful tool, however, there are no simplistic reporting features to just hurry up and get what I want. If you want to know exactly what I'm looking for as an example, please go check statseekers reporting feature as it is super simple and very effective in finding what I am looking for.

create static reports for node each time is painful. Can we not create report template for users so they select from specific values, maybe integrate with sql reporting services.

For example want to create interface utilization report as template where users just pick the node or device name the want to run the report for instead of creating 50 reports for each individual device

Of if there is way to do that already then please share as not be able to find way

Thanks in advance
