"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a fantastic way of generating reports.""The initial setup of the solution is pretty easy.""It is an user-friendly solution.""We use SAP Crystal Reports for operational reporting.""SAP Crystal Reports offers a plethora of features, many of which were available much earlier than in the Crystal Reports we previously used. We extensively use its capabilities for generating general reports, working with Kaspersky data, and even incorporating images into our reports. The range of functions available in SAP Crystal Reports is diverse, and we leverage them across various systems for our needs.""The most valuable feature is that from a user's point of view, it is easy to use and requires just a simple click to generate a report.""I find Crystal Reports very easy to use, even for a non-technical person."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the reporting, maybe having more customizable reports would be good.""I am primarily interested in reporting and automation improvements."

More ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus Cons →

"A real improvement would be a simpler system that allows users to play with the visualization without needing specialized skills and code.""SAP Crystal Reports should provide better support for dynamic connectors.""If at all possible, a little bit of improvement on the analytical side is needed.""SAP Crystal Reports has some compatibility issues with third-party products.""There could be improvements made to the analytics capabilities.""The financing part needs improvement.""It has significantly enhanced security features, especially when compared to the standard security features of the earlier PeerSpot version I purchased. I've observed improvements in security, and overall, it's quite commendable. Regarding potential enhancements for the next release of this solution, I haven't closely examined SAP Crystal Reports 53. I've only encountered it briefly, perhaps once or twice. However, I anticipate that it likely offers advanced features distinct from its predecessor. I believe there may be notable improvements and additions in the latest version, and I look forward to exploring them further."
