Overall Satisfaction with SAP Crystal Reports
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.
- Its ability to create great reports from a vast range of data sources, makes this a very good and easy way to create meaningful reports.
- Crystal Reports has managed to create every report I have tried to do without having to resort to using third party reporting tools, making it easier to maintain report projects.
- It has easily consumable reports which enable business users to make decisions quickly and instantly.
- User Interface can be bit slow at times.
- Debugging complex reports can be difficult.
- Syntax constructs - the syntax used in Crystal Reports (formulas) is slightly different than most other languages, using a combination of curly brackets and pipes with some traditional syntax.
