Overall Satisfaction with SAP Crystal Server

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Creates some great reports
Helps you communicate your points visually
Simplifies a great deal of data into something that's simple to understand

Cons

Not always easy to work with
Cannot export directly into PowerPoint
Problems with security levels for different people

Alternatives Considered

SAP Crystal Reports, Tableau Server and Tableau Online

We have a lot of clients who use SAP Crystal Server that we collaborate on reports with and this was a big reason for why we work with SAP Crystal Server. If I had to rate all the other analytics programs that I have worked with against SAP Crystal Server I would rate SAP Crystal Server one of the better programs.

Other Software Used

Google Charts, SAP Crystal Reports, Zoho Reports

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Crystal Server is well suited for complicated reports, especially when you have to take a lot of data and make it accessible. It can be a bit of a hassle when more than one person has to work with the same report and you need to change the security levels for them.
