Great Reporting Tool
The entire company is using Crystal Reports to make reports that track progress and performance in the various departments. A few different business problems are addressed by Crystal Reports, mainly tied to how we are performing versus our KPIs and we address issues based on the reports that we create.

SAP Crystal Server - Be organized, stress-free, and on the cutting edge with this product. Get things accomplished!
SAP Crystal Server is used by me personally as I am currently the only person working at my company. This product allows me to easily find and organize my files and information. Reports are easy to generate and understand. I no longer have to generate multiple reports as with software I've used in the past. SAP Crystal Server does it all in one.

SAP Crystal Server Review
We use SAP Crystal Server to make reports that we need to track a multitude of things and we also use it for reports that we discuss with clients.
September 08, 2016
Trusty reports, easy to use
We use it in the engineering department to run standard reports for projects (i.e. to track if we are on schedule, budget, etc.). I know the program is also used by more departments, but not by the whole organization, and not in all of our global offices at the moment.

Crystal Server Overview
Select departments use SAP Crystal Server. It is used for creating reports, mainly to track how efficient customer orders are being filled, prepared, and shipped. Reports are also produced that track if any material is wasted in the factory during production. Corporate produces reports to track how efficient each location is with the other.
September 05, 2016
Crystal Review
SAP Crystal Server is used throughout the whole organization. It provides pixel perfect reporting bringing together data from disparate data sources and allows users specific content based on dynamic parameters.
August 31, 2016
New SAP Crystal Reports User
SAP Crystal Reports is being used to generate reports from our Viewpoint Database. Viewpoint stores information related to human resources, payroll, accounting and project management.

Great solution for custom reporting
SAP Crystal Reports is used for users and roles mapping. This is easy to use, from basic reports to the more complex. It's easy for a manager to know what to request as access for particular transaction codes and roles for the required position.
It is also used for reporting segregation of duties (SOD) at intra roles and the user level. We also use reports for analyzing these reports for audits.
August 12, 2016
Great for SQL
We install and support Crystal Reports across multiple clients. It's mainly used to pull data out of SQL Server into customized reports. Usually the canned reports out of database driven software are inadequate and clients need to access data with custom reports.

Very powerful, pixel-perfect reports but expect to have to hire a CR guru & purchase many bottles of tylenol
Crystal reports was being used to create reports pertaining to how many hours the staff were dedicating to specific duties within the company. As this company was a high-frequency trading firm, finding alternative ways of automating different employee tasks helped to reduce down the total overhead while allowing the staff to devote more time to the more important aspects of the business. The intelligence that Crystal Reports generated provided a lot of insight into just how much time was really being wasted in areas of the business that really did not need a person performing, yet were never automated with software as it was perceived that much less time was being used up by these tasks.

Not Easy to Use, But Powerful
We use it to prepare customized reports with data from our CRM database. It is currently only used by one department and it addresses the limitations with the canned reports that exist in the database we use.
SAP Crystal Reports is being used to create all business reporting across all functions of the business. We use it to make a physical schedule, measure KPIs, and track sales. In addition, all labels that are applied to products are printed with reports built in Crystal Reports. Each function has its own reports that have been created to show what materials are required when, where they need to go, and what needs to be done to them. Crystal Reports has greatly increased the visibility of the process and has increased efficiency on the shop floor.

Nice alternative to built in report writer.
We use Infor VISUAL Enterprise software. It has a fairly limited report writer. Crystal Reports allows us to retrieve any information we need easily and effectively. Due to the cost of Crystal Reports, we have 4 stations where reports can be created. Crystal Reports allows us to use Visual in a slightly different way than it was designed. We can focus on teams of people rather than machines.

Crystal Reports
We use Crystal Reports as a cross-division software platform that is used for reporting purposes. Crystal Reports is used to visualize transactional data that was formerly only presented in a CSV format.
Crystal Reports allows us to mine a wide variety of data from our accounting system and other data bases and turn it into valuable reports. If you know a little bit about data it's relatively easy to pick out the data you want, sort it, relate it to other data, run all sorts of calculations on it and turn it into a nicely formatted report. We even have a couple of reports that makes graphs out of the data. We use the reports for inventory control, sales analysis, all kinds of accounting reports, etc.

Great value, fantastic usability.
I currently use SAP Crystal Reports in conjunction with our CRM database to create more customized, user friendly reports.

SAP Crystal Reports Gets The Job Done
We use Crystal Reports in the custom software applications we write for our clients as well as for our internal software development projects. We also have clients which we'll go on-site at their office and help with report modifications and/or training if needed.

Normal Review
We use SAP Crystal reports for our custom build ERP system to provide analytics and insight into our business.

MInimal user but happy with reports I do use
Crystal Reports allows us to customize our invoicing and statements which means we do not have to get special forms printed, resulting in a great cost savings to our company. We are able to have reports built to suit our reporting requirements specifically, as well as use the ones within our accounting software easily. We are able to make financial statements easily in house, and make changes without having to go to an outside source. It is relatively easy to use with a little bit of learning.

SAP gets a thumbs-up!
It is being used across the sales department; mostly for proposals and integrated with Tigerpaw Software that we use daily for quotes. We use SAP Crystal Reports to write up the formulas for our monthly leasing charges and to put in materials that go into a quote.
We can easily adjust the formulas for quotes, so that each template is different. It's very easy to save the template and create a new one if needed. We do phone systems, cabling, security systems, etc., so we do not use the same quote template each time. It's very easy to use.

Crystal Reports Works with FileMaker!
It is used by my department. It helps show sales history, trends and comparison reports and helps us track conversion ratios and growth. It also helps us see how we do in sales by vendor along with quantities and costs. I really like the line charting and linear regression features.

Crystal Reports for All
We use Crystal Reports to access data within our legacy system. Since Crystal Reports can access data from multiple data sources, we are able to combine data from dbase, along with access, MS SQL, and mySQL databases. I extract data from the databases to provide to our bookkeeper, executives, and team members for ad-hoc reports and financial accounting. Our dbase databases are difficult to read. I am able to pull the data out with simple queries easily. The one thing that I have a problem with is getting the data at the same time from multiple data types. Frequently, if I need to get data from dbase and Access, I must create sub-reports and append them. But, I would expect that since dbase is so old.
We use Crystal reports to pull data from all of our databases. We use it across the whole organization. We produce reports for analysis, massage data to be able to pull out meaningful trends and export data in various formats for our partners.
Crystal Reports is being used for consolidation of reports across multiple companies from different data sources.

Crystal Reports made our business better!
We use Crystal Reports to help with various month end procedures, ad hoc reports as well as provide other departments with reports that they can access using a Crystal Reports viewer. It helps provide a lot of insight into the company that the canned reports of our accounting system does not offer.
