Generally, PROC TABULATE takes a lot of memory space, which
slows down the perfomance. If we are working in one of the
many client machine with one common server, it is suggested
that we use PROC REPORT. PROC TABULATE is an effective
reporting procedure for a large dataset.

Proc Report is used to create a customized output from

Proc tabulate can even calculate statistics and prints the
data in tabular representation.
The basic difference is proc tabulate can calculate using
few statistics but proc report doesn't. Proc report has to
be used when you want to customize the report.
