Can anyone recommend or has anyone had any experience with companies who sell add on products that enhance Crystal Enterprise? I am especially interested in add-ons that will help with security management and access control to the data base we are reporting from.
We make several products for Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise.
For single or batch management of reports and their property we make a tool called .rpt Inspector.
For dynamic parameter lists in CE we make a product called SPL (Smart Pick Lists).
For development, we make an SDK called SmartObjects.
Available as a free trial download from our web-site is .rpt Inspector 1 which supports CR5.0-CR8.5 reports. Version 2 is almost shipping which support hundreds of new features in the product including CR9.0, data source/database conversion and migration and a lot more.
You can get more information about these products by visiting
is back up and running. Several people have been asking for additional features from what is listed so I lookforward to your feedback.
In summary if you are looking to add multi-user logins, folder level security and simple web report delivery to Crystal Enterprise Standard 8 or 9 then the toolkit has what you need to implement Crytal Enterprise quickly.
If you have additional security needs, a customized user interface or report development needs then the toolkit is a great start and we can help you customize your system from the out-of-the-box product to a customized solution.
Let me know when a good time to talk is so I can better understand your needs.
I am the author of the charting library used in CR.
Over the last few years I've made a number of 'custom builds' for customers who needed CR to do something that the built-in charting functionality did not provide (such as error-bars, boxplots, etc.).
I've collected the 'best-of-the-best' of this functionality into one simple replacement library called CRChart that is 100% compatible with all existing CR products (including CE)
Of particular interest to VB and/or .NET developers is a pretty broad 'runtime' capability that lets you change a lot of chart properties at runtime (something that can NOT be done in standard CR).
I invite you to download a free evaluation copy of the software:
