SAP Crystal reports are generally in more formatted way where you can design header according to your requirements and data will be fetched from the data source accordingly. According to my analysis this is the only thing when required i'll be happy to use SAP Crystal report …

Chose SAP Crystal
SAP Crystal Reports contains all the reporting capabilities of the above peer technologies. There is not a single capability of the above tools which is not available in Crystal report. But Crystal being an offering SAP fares and performs best for SAP integrated source systems. …
Qlik Sense and Qlik View are all good tools and provide similar views and analyses like SAP Crystal. However, SAP Crystal is quite easy to use and more intuitive for people who have no background with coding and cloud-based tools. The ability to automate generating and sending …

Chose SAP Crystal
We found that Crystal was a little more intuitive to our team members than the other products. All of the products were excellent choices but we liked the ability to code stored procedures to gather our data. While each product has very similar features, we went with …
Qlik is better in terms of reading data from different sources but it doesn’t have the auto doc ability like SAP Crystal Tableau. It is a decent visualization tool but doesn’t have the same ability in terms of rendering output reports into a suitable format. Plus the cost of Tab…
We've had SAP Crystal for about ten years at this point. We've never really evaluated any alternatives since, as of today, well over 400 reports are being generated in the system, and we've yet to consider switching to a competing product.
For automating documents and reports, I personally believe there is no better solution. However, for the sheer fact, it can't compare/combine two sources, I'd recommend pairing it with another BI tool. For example, Qlik, whereby you can create dashboards and compare multiple …
We originally purchased Crystal as it aligned with our vendors' recommendations for reporting. We have since started to focus our development on more self-service and dashboard-type tools (like QlikView, Qlik Sense, and similar). These tools are more mature and capable than …
We develop our desktop applications in Visual Studio IDE, we use SQL Server as a database engine, and the reports are managed by SAP Crystal since it does not limit us when it comes to displaying data. It supports all kinds of information from images and graphics.
For standard pixel perfect reporting, our company still uses Crystal Reports. It allows us to continually provide standard reporting to our clients. For dashboards, we are moving towards Microsoft Power BI. Power BI allows similar collaboration, but generally has better …
Fully integrates into SAP B1 menus, it is the only reporting tool that fully integrates with B1 client, otherwise if you dont run SAP you can have all the reporting power and run reports from the crystal report viewer tool but you will not have menu like reports and you …
As I stated in the previous question, the SQL Server reporting engine provides necessary scheduling services to allow for employee self-service. It also supports granular security, based upon active directory, to control who can see which report. SAP Crystal is still superior …
Crystal offered a more straightforward implementation for our situation. While Tableau offers well-designed reports, the overall functionality regarding data manipulation and analysis is behind Crystal.
I tried using Cognos, but I found trhat I prefered Crystal Reports because it does not require you to set up a meta data layer before setting up your reports. That is a real time saver for me.
Crystal reports is useful in case we want to import data from data base . We can write queries in it but Google Charts require to be implemented in our application using code so crystal reports is better than Google Charts.
I didn't make the decision in terms of selecting the software for the department. However, SAP Crystal is a great tool for a medium size department to increase their efficiency. There might be a different software on the market but I haven't used any similar software except …
We actually have all 3 in place and all 3 are used in different situations. Some are bundled with certain products so we continue to use them. Others such as BI from Microsoft are stand alone and allow for easier data visualizations than SAP Crystal does. We chose SAP Crystal …
We didn't so much evaluate them as use them side by side. Crystal was already here so we didn't replace it or think to replace it. We just added other programs that do things better. Both Power B and Dynamics are good at visualizing data in charts. Crystal is the workhorse
I have done a little bit in Microsoft SSRS and a bunch in SAP Web Intelligence (Webi). Both of those are good at what they do. Like Crystal, SSRS is more technical. Webi is great for quick ad-hoc reports or data analyses. But with Crystal I can easily do things like …
PowerBI is starting to replace Crystal Reports. PowerBI is a Microsoft tool. It also brings different types of data in to the same report. PowerBi allows for more data types than Crystal does. Crystal Reports allows you to create formulas easier than PowerBI does. I am very …
