- Provides a great API with control over all of its Jasper server functionality allowing automation and external management and maintenance and deployment.
- Very easily integrated reporting engine into Java applications. Very easy to integrate with external applications using the API for the server component and libraries for standalone.
- The purely XML based report definitions make automation of generating report source very easy.
- Handles a huge range of data sources out of the box and is very easy to develop custom data sources. It is fairly easy to find code examples for developers.
- The documentation for users, admins, and developers is very good.
- Extremely easy to deploy internally or cloud-based.
- Provides a wide range of output and visualizations, not just typical "reports".
- The JasperSoft Studio (Eclipse + plugins) is not always a joy to use. The choice of using Eclipse as an IDE base is understandable, but it comes with the issues and difficulty of Eclipse. The Eclipse integration lacks any useful debugging features and the error messages are vague and it makes it difficult for non-developers to determine what is actually wrong with the JRXML source in many instances.
- The Jasper Server component (CE anyway) is difficult to brand and customize the web GUI.
- Sub-report data sources can be quirky and overly complicated to define and get "right". Combing multiple data sources with multiple sub-reports is not easy.
- How report variables work, specifically the increment types and reset types combined with where they get used in report bands, is very difficult for the average report writer to grasp.

A great blend of open source software
- Single sign-on works seamlessly.
- The server is easy to manage.
- Visualizer.js is excellent.
- Not as glossy as Tableau.
- Training materials are spread all over the place.
- Not enough video training materials.
- AdHoc views are really useful when you want to implement self service reporting for your customers.
- Support is absolutely amazing. Generally they will update a case within an hour or less.
- Our customers love the freedom to create custom reports and being able to export in the format that they want.
- I was not impressed with the sales process specially our Account Manager. He was rude and very unwilling to bend or negotiate.
- There are some features that would be helpful in our setup. For example we have issues not being able to remove duplicates based on the dataset in the view itself. So you cannot do a select distinct in an adhoc view.
- We stuggle with adding a filter on an aggregate totals. There is no option for the over partition function.

5 years of experiance using Jaspersoft
- It's easy to use when creating a report or dashboard using Jasper studio.
- Adhoc reporting allows for more dynamic reporting.
- Can use custom themes based on your needs.
- Ad-hoc reporting can be improved further. The custom styling features in adhoc report could be included.

- Custom reporting
- Dashboards
- Easy to access
- User interface isn't the easiest to navigate
- Requires developers to pull reports

- Too many hotfix releases cause issues with having to reapply your customization over and over.
- Hard to diagnose issues that arise without turning on debugging mode which generates way too much information.
- Takes about 2 minutes to start up.
- Easy development and deployment.
- Low cost compared to other competitive products.
- All in one kind of program with embedded features.

TIBCO Jaspersoft - room for improvement
- The XML file created is reliable and portable.
- It's relatively easy to drag the data elements to its corresponding fields in the report
- Counting pixels - extremely manual and time consuming activity. It should be a drag and drop function.
- Aligning fields manually - time consuming.
- The product has some bugs. Have to close the application and open it again to see my updates.
- Provides a great REST API with control over all of its Jasper server functionality allowing automation and external management, maintenance, and deployment.
- Very easily integrated reporting engine into Java applications. Very easy to integrate with external applications using the API for the server component and libraries for standalone.
- Handles a huge range of data sources out of the box and is very easy to develop custom data sources. It is fairly easy to find code examples for developers.
- The documentation for users, admins, and developers is very good.
- Extremely easy to deploy internally or cloud-based.
- UI is not customized as per our wish and need.
- Complex reporting or dashboards cant be worked out with the TIBCO.
- Memory optimization is not efficient.
- Application performance isn't good with larger reports.

Quick review on Jasper Server
- Generating reports over web services enables distributed reporting capabilities with authentication.
- Inbuilt features of Jasper Server help in designing reports as required by the customer.
- Jasper Server is capable in using with many data adapters like Oracle, PostgreSQL and NoSQL stores.
- Jasper Server needs some improvements further on its performances in generating reports.
- Customers claim some security violations on numerous plain text passwords appearing inside the source code.
- Jasper Server needs automated purging mechanisms on its scheduled reports.
- Modern looking reporting - (many other products are still archaic looking in their default selections)
- Quick time-to-market turn-around from concept to reality when creating a report
- Listens to customer feedback for future features - this, I believe, has greatly shaped some of the upgrade features we have seen of late that have brought the level of usefulness up for Jaspersoft and ease of use for non-developer users
- Full customization of reports with scheduling and many different formats available (I mention this because some other products had limited export format options)
- If you do not have a proper hardware set up, report run-time can be slow and take up a lot of resources in a shared stack. You must fine tune a lot of set up for DB servers in order to get that perfect runtime for end users
- Users with very slow connections/not close to runtime locale of reporting server can have very slow experiences with reports
- It is a large learning curve to gain that best-practice knowledge of using DB. This is understandable for most products. I wish that Jaspersoft had better documentation for this in the form of more shared examples in order for users to gain better business practice-use of the product. We struggled with many trial and error methods until finding those perfect solutions.

TIBCO Jaspersoft leads to the convergence of information
- The implementation of the reports with Jasper Studio is very friendly and allows us to be more productive.
- It is also an essential aid in the management decisions of our clients with their BI tool.
- We can guarantee quality attributes such as scalability, security, and confidentiality in the presentation of information with TIBCO.
- The implementation of security with Visualize.js took us a long time due to the lack of documentation on the subject.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft allows you to embed reports into your own application, which gives users the feeling they are using a single product.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio allows for more advanced report development, such as adding subreports, drilldown to detail reports, images, page headers, page footers, maps, and more.
- TIBCO's Jaspersoft Domain Designer is very easy to use and navigate.
- Ad-hoc views and reports don't allow for the capability to enter or modify SQL being used. Users always have to rely on how the domain is built.
- Ad-hoc views and reports don't have the functionality to automatically remove duplicate rows.
- If a domain is extremely large and contains several derived tables, slowness is a big issue. Not only is there slowness in the domain designer, but there is slowness when using said domain as the data source of an ad-hoc view.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft is able to integrate perfectly with our custom business application.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft has a valuable designer to let the end users design their own tailored reports based on a selection of data provided in application design phase.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft is able to manage multi-tenancy for our end users, allowing for the segregation of duties and data isolation.
- It requires a lot of resources to provide a good end user experience, especially in terms of memory.
- The management of custom domains to define the users and properties is hard to manage, causing a tree-structure with too many leaves.
- The integration between TIBCO and SQL Server should be improved since its installation and maintenance is currently not as easy as the integrated database solution.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft Reports are more flexible to use
- It should be a more independent reporting tool for users to develop their own reports based on the their requirements

Good BI tool for Web based JAVA applications
- Adhoc Report Builder : It helps creating new reports on the fly without the need of code change
- Handling big volume of Data: In the event of multiple pages report output, it show the first page very quickly and keeps on loading the pages in the background
- Report Export : All the reports can be exported in Word/Excel/PDF formats
- Reports auto schedule: All the reports can be auto scheduled to run at defined intervals and can send the output in a email attachment
- Dashbaord: Dashboard need to be made Interactive with drilldown capabilities
- Report output should be seamless on any screen size
- Jaspersoft implements easily with a number of infrastructure configurations.
- Reports are always easy to schedule.
- Ad-hoc design is simple and quick.
- Custom reports are easily published through Jaspersoft Studio
- Management of templates could be easier.
- Simplify queries to work more easily for troubleshooting.
- Implement report designer into Jaspersoft reporting to enhance report aesthetics.
- Remove dashboard and create modular cells.

Excellent Reporting featrues
- Jaspersoft has an excellent self-service module that allows ad hoc report creation and can be easily worked by non-technical users as well.
- Using this tool, it doesn't matter if you are viewing the report on a desktop screen or smaller mobile screens, the experience is seamless.
- One of the issues we found during our implementation was that the reporting software would work faster for certain data sources and not the others. Extracting CSVs and XML was slower in comparison to JSON in our experience.
- Jaspersoft Studio was the main IDE we used for development. Built atop the Eclipse IDE, we found that the tool was really resource intensive and generally take long time to initialize.
- The reports are exactly as they are designed in Jaspersoft Studio. It allows for pixel-perfect editing, so we can be sure the reports our customers get look great.
- We have a number of different data stores for our different products, and Jaspersoft has connectors for all of them. No matter where our data is, Jaspersoft allows us to access it easily, and transform it into a great looking report.
- Once the reports are uploaded to the Jaspersoft Server, it is very easy to generate the reports. Be it passing parameters via the URL, using the REST api, or embedding using Visualize.js, generating the reports is a breeze.
- The UI on the report designer, Jaspersoft Studio, looks a little outdated. I think that Studio as a whole could use a facelift. Additionally, Jaspersoft Studio tends to slow down over time, requiring a restart of the program.
- There is a bit of a learning curve with all of the intricacies of Jaspersoft Studio, it's kind of overwhelming when trying to learn it from nothing.
- One functionality that seems to be missing, that would help our use-case, would be the ability to parameterize a JSON URL as a data source. For example, if there was a call to a set of JSON data, it has to be a static URL. But in many cases, APIs that return JSON take parameters via the URL. Jaspersoft does not support that.

Jaspersoft--Power, Flexibility and Simplicity
- Jaspersoft can be seamlessly embedded into web applications.
- Jaspersoft is easily customized allowing nearly complete control over the reporting environment.
- Jaspersoft is scalable allowing it to grow to meet the needs of our growing user base as our deployment rolls out across the country.
- Jaspersoft is easy to learn for the report developer.
- Jaspersoft Studio is a little "buggy" having to be closed and re-opened periodically throughout the day.
- Multi-select queries return and load the entire query result set rather than allowing "lazy-loading" of records as a user scrolls. This results in slow loading report parameter screens as the lists are loaded.
- It would be great to have source control (such as Version One or Git) better integrated into Jaspersoft.
- Version 6.4.3.final of Jaspersoft Studio has some bugs where some button on the main toolbar simply do not function (such as "Publish the file on JasperReports Server.")

Just a brief review of Jaspersoft after using it for 10 years
- Easy to use ad hoc reporting capability, which can be used by end users without technical/programming knowledge
- Very customizable in terms of UI look and feel and report generation through Java/scripting
- Responsive customer support and great UpShift program that offers useful implementation/integration help to developers
- Can be quite CPU/memory intensive, especially when multiple users are running larger reports at the same time.
- Ad hoc report cache tuning can be tricky to balance between better performance and having more current data, especially when different reports have different needs.

Try checking out a 4 year users review
- Ease and adaptability to rebrand it according to your needs. UI is the most feasible to add new pages.
- The help docs on the community site and support are always prompt. The high charts and its features are really great to provide better visualization.
- The report studio provides ease to design the reports and implement styles according to the needs.
- Implementing out of the box authorization for domain more easily. Now we need additional expertise on groovy to accomplish this.
- Upgrades to be much easier and require less manual work to update all configurational changes.

Good solution for those requiring tight integration or near-open source flexibility.
- Flexible visualisation
- Deep integration with wider software product
- Highly customisable
- Not as polished as higher end BI solutions
- Product development and support responsiveness can be sluggish
- Commercial/account management contacts dont add value
- Jaspersoft provides flexibility to create new domains dynamically instead of enforcing the need pre-defining them prior to launch of the product.
- Easy to integrate with any application
- Enhanced mobile app will make it handy to use jaspersoft even when we are not at home.
- We have a default RowLimit of 200K set in the application at server level. We do not have an option to make it tenant specific.
- Few customers on a shared machine will want it to increase it to 500K but with this limitation it'll be applied for all other customers sharing the same server and that might affect performance.
- Error screens
- Jaspersoft shows the complete 200+ lines of stack trace in an error screen in the UI. We can have better error handling applied while displaying in UI..
- In the application logs, it is better to include the tenant info as well. Otherwise, it is confusing to debug issue of one tenant while other tenants are being used.
- Tenant level auditing.
- As per jaspersoft, enabling auditing will have performance hit on the server. As we do not have option to enable tenant level auditing, it is enabling auditing on all tenants and causing performance issues.
