    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.

    • Very intuitive tool - An Advanced reporting user can figure out in a day on the end to end operations.
    • Easy customization - Simple changes in UI makes it less headache for the end user who maintains the tool. Being an open source product (offers Jasper web services) makes a lot developer friendly compared to SSRS, Cognos etc.
    • Easy Connectivity - Can connect to any data source (can connect to multiple data sources) for a single report - can be customized.
    • Community - A very strong community available online, videos - on basic how to questions, also provides assistance to use case specific scenarios.
    • Ease of Reporting - Can create a reports with in few clicks with out struggle.
    • Domain Designer - A very powerful tool you can create a dataset using clicks with out writing SQL code.
    • OnDemand Scheduling - A very good scheduling feature and a has got lot more simplistic compared to other popular tools like Cognos.
    • Jasper Studio - Very good programmatic tool (desktop tool) lets you customize the reports more company specific, can embed complex coding with 3rd party languages like Java, Groovy (scripting language).

    Cons
    Cloud Software Group
    • 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 It looks so old and outdated.

    • Scalability is RAM limited, all data is associative and in-memory so server's RAM is directly proportional to performance
    • Limitation on advanced analytics capabilities in the form of R integration to perform complex statistical and analytical calculations
    • Can have more intuitive interface

    Qlik is great for companies with lots of business domains and departments because it scales well, especially if data that is reported is saved in SQL and similar structures. Its ease of use and good UI enables business units to create and manage their own reports. That removes a great burden of creating and managing/modifying these pages from the IT team. Overall, it's a win-win for both IT and business units.

    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

    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.

    The customization of the platform opens up plenty of other options depending on the use cases. The API layer is incredibly rich and makes integration of Qlik based visualization into web pages a simple and effective pattern. It's been very easy to use with a great community made up of professionals. Qlik Sense has introduces artificial Intelligence into my data visualization and reporting activity.

    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.
