Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
FoxPro is a deprecated product and can no longer be downloaded or purchased. While it was a great report development tool, it is no longer a viable solution. While we do use Business Objects in very specific and limited implementations and for specific users, we find that …
I cannot fairly answer this questions and I have not used other reporting tools. Other reporting tools seem to look like they are great via sales pitches and video previews etc. At end of the day, they struggle with the same issues that Jasper faces. Or they might have solved …
Cost and ease of use. We ultimately decided to use Jaspersoft because we didn't need to do anything complicated. At the time we were looking into Microsoft Business Intelligence. While we saw Microsoft BI having actual better reporting and tools, we choose to use Jaspersoft …
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 …
TIBCO Jaspersoft was chosen because it fitted our software cloud architecture the best and at a reasonable cost.
The rest didn't tick all the boxes at the time or were far too expensive. However, the likes of Power BI seem to be a contender now.
Of course, there are challenges in the evolution of Jasper and it may take some time to become a stable product. With Jasper 6.4 the stability is improvised a lot compared to previous versions(5.5).
But I would recommend Jasper to any team for the following reasons.
Our initial selection was based on the understanding of this product to be able to match up against other enterprise BI tools. However, the difficulty with the reseller and the technical issues with the RBAC make this an easy choice to eliminate against other products.
Pentaho and Cognos have been used and evaluated. Jaspersoft is similar to Pentaho, but has better support forums to answer questions. Cognos is slightly more intuitive, but at a higher licensing cost.
Spotfire - Better support. More intuitive. Works with our databases. Tableau - great support. Very simple and intuitive. Works with our databases! Infor ION - Really expensive. Works well with their products. A lot of work with other products.
At the moment of evaluation, it looked like Jasper would be able to cope with our data model. This was achieved with product customization. Visualizations are largely the same.
We have explored other reporting tools like IBM Cognos, Tableau, SQL Reporting, and Qlik along with TIBCO Spotfire (in-memory). FInally looking at all options, features, degree of flexibility, and then license cost, we decided to go with TIBCO Jaspersoft.
Tableau and Qlikview reporting probably have better end-user experiences but can't be easily embedded in a Web app. Microsoft BI suite needs nearly a full stack of the latest versions of SQL Server, Excel and Sharepoint which an ISV can't assume its customers have. Other …
Tableau was way, way more expensive and wasn't able to be embedded and white labeled, so we didn't go with them. I think Tableau is stronger on the visualization and predictive side... but overall... if you can't afford them, who cares?
