Advantages
----------

1. Secure as End user cannot modifiy the data which is
appear in the report if we use crystal report to show the
report but in HTML, user can modify the report data

2. Report layout is not transparent, so that end user will
not know about how we design the report. But in HTML,
anybody can study the report layout and can copy the
technology

3. Can export into different format like PDF, HTML, XML,
etc.,

and many more...

Disadvantages
-------------

1. End user need to have the crystal report viewer in his
PC in order to see the crystal report output. But this can
be overcome if you export the report as PDF/HTML

2. You need to buy Crystal Report license for each pc you
are used to design the crystal report.

3. Must buy the version which allows you to install run
time components in end user PC

and many more...
