Overall Satisfaction with SAP Crystal Reports

SAP Crystal Reports shows database information in a much simpler and easier to understand format than just looking at standard reports or the data sheets. We are able to customize with SQL queries to generate the data we need for reports for presentations. It works great with several of our data sources and is not constrained with just one database setting or format.
  • Works with many database formats
  • Great web intergation
  • Good support for 3rd party features
  • More support and training online
  • Make setup faster and easier to do
  • Forumlas made easier
It works well and it is very expansive in the database options for data sources.
