For those in power and who ordered it then it was a huge success. The church and ruling classes.
It was a success because the Europeans were introduced to the knowledge of the ancient past that was being preserved by the Muslims. It was a failure because they never regained the Holy Land. (Which explains why it's called 'history's most successful failure.')
The crusades were a religiously inspired initiative of Pope Urban II. They were a series of religiously justified campaigns against the Islamic populations of the Middle East, in particular the regions around Jerusalem. The crusades met varying levels of success over their lifespan (roughly the 11th-13th centuries) with the First Crusade being widely considered the most successful. I recommend Geoffrey Hindley's A Brief History of The Crusades: Islam and Christianity in the Struggle for World Supremacy, as it provides a good outline of the first few crusades in a fairly laid back format. If you want more information please feel free to message me.Hope that helps!
It was somewhat of a failure.
I suppose failure can be considered a success if there is a trial and error sort of situation. This is because it leads you closer to the answer which is a sort of success. The same can be said of a scenario where a person learns from their failed attempt or poor decision. This makes them a better person who is wiser and more competent...a success in my book! Finally, if you set out to fail to prove a point then logically it could be a success in terms since you accomplished your goal, although this seems quite paradoxical!

The Roman government is considered neither a success nor a failure.
The Crusades were widely considered a failure, in that they failed to achieve their stated objective of spreading Christianity to the Holy Land. However, it brought many positive changes to European society as returning crusaders brought Muslim knowledge back with them, helping to spark the Renaissance.
The Simon Commission was considered to be a success eventually.
Like most things in life; it was neither a failure nor a success; it was a bit of both. 1. Considered a failure, because it did not discourage the North from continuing it's war against the South. 2. Considered a success, because it taught US airmen how to fight both AAA/SAM defenses and NVAF MiG jet aircraft. Lessons that would bring success for future campaigns.
