Previous releases of SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT and SSDT-BI)
Applies to: 
SQL Server (all supported versions) Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) provides project templates and design surfaces for building SQL Server content types - relational databases, Analysis Services models, Reporting Services reports, and Integration Services packages.
SSDT is backwards compatible, so you can always use the newest SSDT to design and deploy databases, models, reports, and packages that run on older versions of SQL Server.
Historically, the Visual Studio shell used to create SQL Server content types has been released under various names, including SQL Server Data Tools, SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence, and Business Intelligence Development Studio. Previous versions came with distinct sets of project templates. To get all of the project templates together in one SSDT, you need the newest version. Otherwise, you probably need to install multiple previous versions to get all of the templates used in SQL Server. Only one shell is installed per version of Visual Studio; installing a second SSDT just adds the missing templates.

SQL BI: Analysis Services, Reporting Services, Integration services
BI templates are used to create SSAS models, SSRS reports, and SSIS packages. BI Designers are tied to specific releases of SQL Server. To use the newer BI features, install a newer versioned BI designer.
BI Designers
Download SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2013 (SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2008, and 2008 R2)
Download SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 (SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2008, and 2008 R2
Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) is installed via SQL Server Setup. There's no web download (SQL Server 2008, and 2008 R2).
For SQL Server 2012 or 2014, you can use either SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 or SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2013. The only difference between the two is the Visual Studio version.
