what is difference between WEBi Report and Crystal Report?

Answer Posted / rajnish kaushal

Little Bit in detail

Webi Reports are developed in web browser only. This is now
not the case in XIR3.0 and XIR3.1

Crystal Reports are mainly developed using desktop client.
Also in Release 2 onwards you can develop crystal reports
in browser but not all the functionality of desktop is
available.


Webi Reports can be developed by power users whereas
crystal reports is not a tool for power user.

Crystal Reports can be embedded in desktop / web based
applications without requiring any servers at back end.

Webi Reports can be embedded only in Web based Applications
and for desktop applications ( TCP /IP ) will be required.

Crystal Reports originated from Seagate. Seagate was then
took over by Business Objects. Whereas Wb Intelligence is
Business Objects Product froms start.

Webi Reports have drill filters facility where data is
stored in browser and user can slice and dice the data.
Crystal Reports do not have out of fox feature.

There are number of other differences. Please refer
