SSRS is better on delivering detail/operational schedule report:

  1. Email Subscription - In SSRS you can schedule to send the report to any email address instead of just Power BI Pro subscriber. It makes SSRS so much more flexible. 
  2. Detailed drilldown - If your customer prefer detail data in the report then SSRS is better. In SSRS, you can do a lot of customization on the report grouping to satisfy customer's need. Something that is not doable with Power BI's matrix.
