Overall Satisfaction with SAP Crystal

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it across the whole organization for generating reports on prospective financial investment opportunities and also for collecting data from various vendors and sources. It's really helped in managing these sources and feeding them into one place saving us a lot of time and effort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Customization for reports
Allows multiple users to feed and draw data
Flexibility

Cons

Expensive
Hard to setup

Alternatives Considered

IBM Analytics Engine and Azure SQL Database

SAP Crystal offers more flexibility and has more tools and functions than every program I've ever tried!

Likelihood to Recommend

On the one hand, Crystal Reports is the program I go to when I need reports that are very specific and highly formatted. Crystal has an almost intense amount of formatting options and ways to present data. On the other hand, 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.
