Pros
- The program is pretty intuitive to use
- There is a really good tutorial section on the website
- Integrates well with our inventory system
Cons
- Adding a new table from a database could be a little easier
- Moving data around reports tends to take a little more effort than what seems necessary. I do like that I can move by using arrow keys, just don't like the way things sometimes snap into position
I only used SAP Crystal reports. This was due to the Inventory system requiring this software.
- Our reports are more easily used. Instead of having multiple reports to get the information, we have one that shows all that we need.
