SAP Crystal Reportsの評判・口コミ 全9件

What do you dislike?

Sometimes trying to format the reoport in a way that works well when imported into Excel can be a challenge. Everything has to be lined up perfectly otherwise you will get extra rows and columns which can make things difficult.

What do you like best?

It is a blank slate. You can pull data out of a database and manipulate it in just about anyway. There is some free support available online too which was a huge help for me because I taught myself how to use it.

Recommendations to others considering the product

It can be self taught but having some reports to start from helped me understand how it worked. I would have benefitted from some formal training but it was never provided b my employer.

What do you dislike?

I have not used Crystal Reports extensively enough to have any dislikes.

What do you like best?

I am still learning all of the functionality possible with Crystal Reports. I like that I am able to extract ad hoc data from a proprietary database, and tailor the output to my needs.

What do you dislike?

It can sometimes,be tedious to tweek report appearances.

What do you like best?

It is easy to customize our reports to show data exactly how we need to see it and to alter that for various departments.

What do you dislike?

Weak Data Security and data governance,Licensing Model is Confusing- and Costly

What do you like best?

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make the tool Business User-Friendly, introduce the self service reporting for end users not just limited to developers. Improve Data Security and data governance

What do you dislike?

It has so many features that it is very challenging to a beginner. You definitely need to have someone else that uses it to teach you because the books are insanely large and very dense to read.

What do you like best?

I like specific information from a very large database. You can easily format it to go into an Excel sheet or into a designed pdf.

What do you dislike?

It's a heavy piece of software. It takes a minute or so to open, and another minute or so to log into the SQL server I'm hitting. Part of that is because of the server login, but the software is big. Don't expect to have a lot of other programs running at the same time.

You'd need to take a class to really get to know the software. It's pretty confusing otherwise.

What do you like best?

Once you are trained it's pretty easy to use.

One-click data refresh is amazing. Significantly cuts down on report generation time.

Supports Oracle, MS SQL, Access, & Excel. Supports more, but those are the ones I use regularly. It even allows me to link data from separate sources together.

Formatting is easier than you'd think looking at a report.

The filters are robust and easy to set up.

Ability to export to pdf for management submission or to Excel for non-Crystal users to slice the data is really helpful.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Take a training class. I attended a 4-day session with long manuals to bring back for reference. You could do some things with classes, but little things like formatting tips you'd just have to figure out on your own.

What do you dislike?

With great power, comes great responsibility. While Crystal lets me do what I need to do, it takes a great degree of skill, experience, and possibly a degree in anger management to use it. This is never going to be something you can give to your average user and expect them to be able to do anything. This is an expert's tool.

What do you like best?

I have used more than a few reporting tools as the BI Manager for my company. Of all tools, Crystal Reports was the one I went to when I needed reports that were very specific and highly formatted. Crystal has an almost intense amount of formatting options and ways to present data.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Seriously...don't get this if you can't handle the learning curve. Very powerful. Very competent. Very complex.

What do you dislike?

The difficulty in making small changes, cursor is very sensitive

What do you like best?

Ability to format data pulled from SQL statements from an Oracle Data Base

Recommendations to others considering the product

The tool is very powerful but I've had some difficulty in building reports , takes an artistic touch to make reports display properly.

What do you dislike?

Learning to use the software and integrate it can be overwhelming to a new user.

What do you like best?

The interface and ability to extract and organize data is extremely useful.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Training for users beforehand is a good idea.
