Crystal vs. Microsoft Dynamics RMS (Discontinued)

All of our applications server in the new company that we bought are windows based, despite that there are other alternative to build the report and dashboard, it is something that has worked wonder for us, apart from it is only available in Windows and indexing data that might eat the resource, I still see the application as one of the major player for reporting

Like I said before, it's great to use when you have to manage multiple warehouses, multiple stores or multiple websites, or all of the above and you need to keep an up to date inventory for all locations. Once learned it will make anyone's job much easier to do each day.

Incentivized

• Consolidate data from several data sources
• Low to no code report generation
• Configurable

• Once you set it up correctly, it just works
• Can be customized
• Tons of options

Incentivized

• This is bound for Windows OS, hard to find similar alternative on other OSs
• Be careful in Indexing your data, as it will consume resources

• Steep learning curve
• Not as advanced as new systems on the market
• Can be buggy with websites

Incentivized

We tried to explore other options but we didn't explore other options too long as it will risk our business process and business outcome, as what we want from the processes in both reports and dashboard are giving us a satisfactory result, so familiarity is why we still using it till today and some foreseeable future

It's been so long since we actually chose this program, I am not sure of the competitors out now. I started using it a couple years ago, but our company has used it for maybe 10 years now? We plan on reviewing other systems next year, so I will know more then.

Incentivized

• Without the application, our lending business will be in complete stop, as our applications are wrote in Windows based
• We are processing 300 Loans/Month, taking it as $10000 per loan, having this not working properly will cost potential $150.000 revenue

• It has saved us time by not having to do anything manually
• It has kept our inventory updated so customers are not upset
• It's always worked, so not a lot of dev/support money required
