Likelihood to Recommend Any scenario where you need to reach back into TIBCO support is something I would highly avoid. Most responses at the second round get you pointed to engaging their professional services. The general mentality seems to be "since our product acquisition cost is low, why don't you engage PS to get the value you need" If you are looking at enterprise scenarios, I would highly recommend looking at other more established products.

Phrazor is well suited for use in larger companies, especially those that operate globally and need to get region-specific or country-specific data and reports. I found Phrazor to be less appropriate for use in smaller companies (especially non-profit organizations) that may not benefit from extensive reporting. Non-profit organizations don't necessarily have projected sales growth and inventory costs.

Custom reporting. Report templates. Unique data not found elsewhere. Read full review Cons Easier to customize the Jasper Server GUI. More flexibility with the input controls look and feel and maybe more input control types to select from. Have browser event functionality in the reporting itself. An easier way to iterate through an object. Maybe an option that tells the report Java run-time to stop following the report sequential flow and first integrate through this stated object many times. An easier way to create a list and add values to this list. Maybe one could stipulate the process flow of what needs to be computed first in a given field. The crosstab is a bit buggy on the Jasper studio side, so if that could be improved. Better and more examples of custom components The jive functionality on the tables needs an update. It looks so old and outdated. Read full review vPhrase Analytic Solutions Pvt Ltd

Our company experienced some difficulty during implementation trying to get data imported and uploaded. We reached out to support and received much-needed assistance, and we were able to move forward with data importation. Several of our users, including myself, experienced some difficulty in understanding the system, so it took some time to use it fully. For a first-time user, there were almost too many filters and options to choose from.

Great! Anytime I needed assistance and reached out to support, I received amazing help, and everyone was always very nice. The reason I did not rate support a ten is that often the hold time was quite long. When you are in a time crunch and need data immediately, it is frustrating not to get immediate support.
Read full review Online Training While the training was somewhat beneficial, a lot of what was taught to us was what we managed to figure out in the weeks prior. It did provide some useful tips and reference material, but overall something more tailored to our requirements would've been better.

Implementation Rating New releases can be very buggy, also lacking when it comes to standard time zones and formats that are outside the US. As a company we never feel comfortable implementing a new release for at least 3-6 months due to errors that are found

Alternatives Considered Crystal reports is very expensive and does not integrate well with java based servers. Jasper also provides community edition, if we every want to downgrade the use, we always have the option of eliminating the server and using the reports as they are. Jasper also give you the opportunity to build BI on case by base basis including Dashboards.

I enjoyed using Phrazor better; however, as a new user, I was a bit frustrated getting started.
Microsoft Power BI had more videos available online than I found. Phrazor had more adaptability and customization for our company, which overall made it a better fit over competitive products. My coworkers and I demoed
Sisense , and we chose not to purchase it due to it not being a good fit.
Read full review Return on Investment Jaspersoft Community Edition has not had any significant impact on our ROI as we have purchased the commercial edition of the product. The only impact on ROI is that when we bring on new developers, he or she can begin work using the community edition while awaiting the installation of the commercial edition.
