Deciding Factors: SAP Crystal Reports Vs. Market Average
SAP Crystal Reports Likes & Dislikes
The ability to connect to data sources really easily and exploit data from these and then produce pixel perfect reports where you can input filters and create different tabs with ease of use
Automated report generation. Ability to connect to various data sources. Customization
Easy to work with, easy to access tables and fields of the connected database. Can make many types of reports with many customizations.
The deployment is cumbersome and takes time. In the world of SaaS products this feels like it is so behind the times which is a shame as the product should be used by more analysts
Formatting. Better training of resources. No updates post implementation
Running totals can be tricky at times, Speed of which the data is returned can lag on occasion. There should be a tool that recommends table links based on the type of data returned.
