What do you dislike?

I have been using it for so long I can't think of anything I don't like

What do you like best?

The idea of being able to create comprehensive reports from multiple sources that do not talk to each other is a big time saver

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make sure you learn how to use it as it is very complex and has many features

What do you dislike?

Quite expensive compared to some competing products, support is not very good and overly complicated to interact with. Not as capable or versatile as some competing products.

What do you like best?

Very easy to use in general, learning curve is not too steep, can generally produce reports fairly quickly

Recommendations to others considering the product

There are many Business Intelligence applications available. I don't feel SAP is keeping up with its competitors.

What do you dislike?

The price. It's priced like it's the only game in town because it really is the best option for generating reports from a database. The group discounts do help though.

What do you like best?

The best 2 things about Crystal Reports are its customizability and its compatibility. It works with almost any ODBC connection and I can customize my reports almost any way I want.

What do you dislike?

In our experience, SAP Crystal Reports is not very straight forward and a decent amount of training is required before you can use SAP Crystal Reports effectively and efficiently. It is also possible to customize the reports as much as you want, but again, this takes a lot of training to master. We really recommend spending a lot of time on training in the beginning to really understand how the program works.

What do you like best?

The things that I like best about SAP Crystal Reports are the fact that we are able to create custom reports and better track our performance and results. The real-time reporting and scheduled reports are a great time saver for us and we were able to save a lot of hours that we previously spent on reporting, and work on more important aspects of our business instead.

Recommendations to others considering the product

I think that SAP Crystal Reports can be very useful if used correctly. If you take the time to familiarize yourself with the program then you are not limited by anything and can create reports for pretty much anything that your companies needs to track. There are a few very useful templates that you can use but you can also customize the templates or create your own from scratch. The real-time reporting and scheduled reports are also a great way to save time

What do you dislike?

I wish if they offered more standard report templates. The stock reports are not enough and if they do offer more standard reports it would save me a lot of time

What do you like best?

Crystal reports makes it easy for me to collect data from different systems and save them in one place to create comprehensive financial reports. I love how the reports builder is user intuitive and simple to use.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Get some training and try it before you buy it.

What do you dislike?

It takes a bit of time to get the hang of it and start building custom reports. Also the CR desktop designer needs an update.

What do you like best?

We love using the ODBC to connect to other databases where other enterprise solutions are storing the data. Crystal reports by far has better reporting than most business software (ERP, CRM). Some of the standard reports are really smart, pervasive and supports our financial decision making processes with intelligence. We also love the idea of being able to nest reports into other reports.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Spend time viewing CR tutorials online as using the solution can be a bit diffecult.

What do you dislike?

The version I used was very old and so it would get slow and sometimes crash. Some of the features of data field linking were confusing and difficult to understand (for example, once a new field is introduced to the export file, the entire report has to be remapped.

What do you like best?

The navigation bar is fairly easy to use, the report panel is easily understandable. A lot of materials are available to learn how to use SAP Crystal Reports.

What do you dislike?

If you want to use it as an expert you really need spend time learning how to use it. It really worth it

What do you like best?

It is a real outstanding reporting software. I have used other reporting options but at the end I really prefer continuing working with this tool.

What do you dislike?

The data connection setup is sometimes complicated, especially with third party data sources that the Crystal Reports development team have not considered. Crystal Reports now charges to use the run-time in third party applications, such as Schneider Electric ClearSCADA. This is undesirable, because the end customer is already paying for the Crystal Reports software to build the report in the first place. There should be at least a one-seat runtime license for connecting to third party applications allowed when purchasing the $495 SAP Crystal Reports software.

What do you like best?

Configurability, Flexibility. Query ability to bring in data from various data sources. The configurable data fields, calculated fields, special data fields, and database fields are very useful. Querys can be made to force the flow of the reports to have subcategories. The export features of the software to Acrobat .pdf format, Excel format, and other formats make to sofeware very useful. The design and preview tabs are a well thought up report creation environment with a reprt data refreash that allows instant feedback on how the report would actually be generated, when creating a report. Appreciate that there is a support case page on the SAP website, in case there are any know issues with the SAP software.

Make sure you utilze the appropriate Crystal Report version for the third party application you will be using it with.
