Answer / shyam prabhu
Advantage of having Crystal report:
Say if you have billions of data and you need to
group/sum the data then Crystal reports is the tool
to use to do the calculations and other business login in
easy and professional way.
You can provide drilldown options, hyperlinks to the
data, alert the user based on the data, pictorial view of
the data using Graphs and all these thing you can do it on
fly.
Disadvantage of using ur own reports:
You need to code for each and everything in your report
and which needs more time.
