Crystal Reports can be when more customisation of the
report is required. The complexity in creating Crystal
Reports is more than the Complexity of WEBI.
Crystal Reports formatting requires more effort and the
look and feel of export may require some modifications to
fit users requirements.
WEBI can be used for Power Users who can design their own
reports. However The flexibility on customisation of the
reports is limited.
Since WEBI is in Columns and Tabular format, there is not
much formatting effort required.

Crystal Reports: Useful for reports with complex layout
formats, dynamic formatting(like decimals, date formats,etc
), dynamic suppression of the report parts(like sections or
stand alone fields)
WebI: Used for ad-hoc reporting. Easy to modify and analyze
the reports on the fly
