The range of functions available in SAP Crystal Reports is diverse, and we leverage them across various systems for our needs."

"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."

"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
