Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft
- It's relatively simple for us to call Jasper reports from our application
- Jasper's data is displayed in a clean format - I feel more for people who like to "see" data as opposed to seeing pretty graphs.
- Jasper has certain limitations that I would call bugs but they seen as "features". An example is when I need to go into a user's account to add or change an attribute, I HAVE to enter the password for that person or else the password is lost. This has meant that we have had to keep a log of our users' passwords and we have not been able to give them the ability to change their own passwords.
- All saved ad-hocs in Jasper store the label name of a field instead of the id (best practice) which has made it impossible for us as a company providing Jasper to our users, to change the names of fields whenever we want to. This is very frustrating.
I have trialled Tableau, QlikSense and Power BI.
Honestly, I feel that these products are leagues ahead of Jaspersoft. It may be because I am a SQL developer that I find them easy to use, but they seem far more intuitive to use.
