The main difference between Reporting tool and OLAP is

Reporting Tool: you can genarate only reports then you can do only min level analysis

OLAP: you genarate reports which will be in multi dimensnol analysis

I guess with Cognos Report Net report bursting is possible ie splitting one report and sending to multiple people Which I suppose is not possible in other tools.

OLAP reporting (online analytical process) in this reporting can do simple anyalsis of the data in report like graphical and physical processing of the company.

Reporting tools: In this we can only see the reports we cannot modify them.
