What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

No positive label carried a quote.

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“This is the most commonly flagged one right now... the migration clock is ticking for many teams. If you're starting fresh today, there are better-supported, modern options.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Financial reporting · negative prompt · hard negative

“Avoid using Crystal Reports for new projects” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Financial reporting · negative prompt · hard negative

“Older architecture - Less suitable for modern analytics workflows” GPT-5.4 mini · Financial reporting · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named SAP Crystal Reports. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 7 of the 10 answers that named SAP Crystal Reports and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when SAP Crystal Reports's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as SAP Crystal Reports, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at sap.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
