Highly recommendations for this great BI tool.
We were migrating from the legacy point of sale system to the new version and different vendors altogether. There were a lot of challenges we were facing especially when it came to data mapping from enterprise to enterprise between two systems. With the help of this tool, we were able to resolve those issues very effectively and efficiently in a timely manner and meet project deadlines. The scope was included for both digitally online and mobile platforms with the help of this tool.
- Breadth of mapping tags.
- Easy sync across multiple systems.
- Data migration security.
- Performance issues once in a while may hamper the productivity of the project.
- Introduction or how to do guide can be more better and comprehensive.

Experience of TIBCO Jaspersoft
We, as a team together, created a product which automates the billing and licensing for a giant automobile conglomerate. So in that product at the end of every month we need to generate reports and bills in stipulated format. So we tried TIBCO Jaspersoft for this purpose. As we needed a tool which can connect with different databases and on the basis of schedulers different reports and bills can be generated in different formats. So we had a request from a client to get reports generated in PDF, Word and Excel formats. And we found all this can be easily processed using TIBCO Jaspersoft. It's just plug and play model irrespective of the technology our product is based on, quite flexible in that term. Just we need to create template and store it as standard and bingo!!!! Things are done ready to served.
- Generation of reports in different formats like Word, Excel or pdf.
- Integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft is quite easy, hence no mess at all.
- TIBCO Jaspersoft is quite flexible to be integrated and deployed.
- Quite flexible with all type of databases.
- Lightweight.
- Easy to use and can be used for complicated design templates as well.
- Need to work on inbuilt utilities provided, as few utilities seems to be tech dependent or platform dependent.
- Optimize it for high-volume data processing.
- User interface needs to be improved.
- Best suitable for people from a java background.
- People who aren't from such a background need to put a lot of effort to make things go.

Best report generating tool with great feature set and reliable
Jaspersoft enables us to generate reports based on the input data given. It is swift enough to generate reports with small to medium data. We use it on our application back end to automatically generate reports based on filters, date range, and input data. It supports PDF, Excel, and HTML formats. It can also build graphs and charts for more interactive reports. It is easy to use and the learning curve is very minimal. Overall it's a great product with a minimalistic design and several important features.
- Minimal design.
- Reports can be generated swiftly.
- Supports REST based applications.
- Easy to use and quick to learn.
- Cant handle large data efficiently.
- No dashboards.
- UI is outdated needs to be modernized.

TiVo Jaspersoft review
Used for visualisation of data in easy-to-use dashboards. Solves a few different issues including removing the need to visualise in Microsoft Excel, real-time sharing of data without the need to email a PowerPoint presentation.
- Data visualisation.
- Easy sharing of dashboards.
- East to learn interface.
- Refresh time of dashboards.
- Update of GUI. It’s a bit old.
- More flexibility in data format allowed to use.

Jaspersoft rocks at all editions
The product is used to enable self-service reporting capabilities for users of a custom suite of tools developed in Java. Jaspersoft has been used for over five years now so we have not taken advantage of some of the newer capabilities yet the product has been robust enough to last half a decade in a production environment without any significant issues.
- Reporting.
- Visualizations.
- Analytics.
- Community edition capabilities.

Great for Now But Watch for the Future
Jaspersoft Enterprise Edition requires the ability for customers to report and view dashboards that are easily created, personally designed, with a broad array of layouts and customizable to display key performance indicators and metrics. Given that this requirement is a core offering of the solution, it’s essential that it is fully embedded and white-labeled (ie. No branding to indicate what product is being used within another application. Jaspersoft Enterprise Edition is capable of that. However, there are some limitations.
- Easy to use
- Renders graphics nicely
- Embeds well into other applications
- Poor at scaling to large volumes of data
- Pricing model could be better
- Performance slows dramatically as you reach limits of data handling

- Desktop direct printing solutions.

Great Product!
- 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.
- Need more culture (locale-based) included for Jasper reports. For example, it does not have locale for the Netherlands.

Exceptional support and great product to deal with
- Exceptional response
- Resolving issues that are raised by the user with upgrades.
- Not much to say about cons.
October 28, 2019
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.

Jaspersoft Review
- 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.
October 01, 2019
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.

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.
- Online training
- Self-taught
You may need to study this product to getting the things done.
Yes
Security updates on APIs made some issues on the existing reporting features.

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

Jaspersoft Products
- 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.
August 13, 2019
TIBCO Jaspersoft A Solid Choice
- Can easily build reports from predefined tables or derived queries.
- Can schedule reports to run and send to an ftp server.
- Can easily customize the report server with your own skin.
- 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.
- 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 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.

Embedded BI for All
- 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.
- In-person training
Hands on training really helped stream-line the process as we did not have to stop and wait for feedback or support every time we ran into an issue. Setting up the database and report servers as well as the first ETLs was made easier with the guidance of the training. I think that the UI navigation of the product was still something that we really did not have a handle on until at least a year of using it daily to understand all the capabilities.

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.
October 30, 2018
Jaspersoft Reporting Review
- 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.")
- Self-taught
I was trained to work with Jaspersoft by my co-team members who were already familiar with it. I have worked in report development for many years and having done so, I found Jaspersoft to be intuitive and easy to learn. I am now very successfully able to use this product.
October 09, 2018
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
- Online training
Training was adequate but required an investment of effort on our part.
September 27, 2018
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.
