Crystal vs BO web I Report

building reports crystal reports
1

I have report requirement with lot of grids from multiple databases and my boss wants me to do it in crystal instead of BO because of the data volume and multi data connect.

But i feel grid reports can be much formatted in BO but I am not sure of multi data connect(I think this is only possible by merging dimensions from diffrent universes) and volume issue?

What are the advantages of crystal vs BO report?
How would we do in crystal if it is a multi data connect report?

Thanks,

If you are looking for multiple database connecitons, it is possible in both BO and Crystal. Depends on your requirement you decide where your report should be.
Again we can not say one tool is better than other, it is also depends on the requirement. Few things we can do in BO but not in crystal(like multi tabbed report) and few things we can do in crysta but not BO(like forms). Hope this helps.
