Crystal Reports and Sage Intelligence both work with Sage 100 data. That is approximately where the similarity stops being useful.
Crystal Reports Is Sage 100's Primary Report Writer and Form Builder
Sage describes Crystal Reports as the primary report writer and form builder used by Sage 100, with presentation-quality output and fine control over forms, reports, journals, invoices, and documents.
Sage Intelligence Is Built Around Excel
Sage Intelligence extracts Sage 100 data into Microsoft Excel and is especially useful for recurring financial and management analysis.
Think Document Versus Analysis Model
Crystal often shines when the output is a controlled document. Sage Intelligence often shines when the output is a financial or management analysis model that users need to refresh, drill into, and manipulate.
Sometimes You Need Both
Crystal can remain the right tool for operational documents while Sage Intelligence handles recurring financial and management reporting.
