Data Analytics Made Simple by JasperSoft
- Training guide - Simple to use.
- E-Learning platform - Customer friendly. We used it to train 15 Officers online.
- Good follow up with the customers.
- The system is a bit difficult to configure making it more dependent on ICT staff rather than the business staff who use it more frequently.
- User interface
- Dashboarding
- Stability
- Working with complex domains (multiple fact tables)
- Advanced formatting for charts (without entering parameters with the keyboard)
- Freezing topic saved with ad-hoc view. If topic is updated, the ad-hoc view doesn't get the updates because the topic is frozen with it
October 27, 2017
One of the best reporting tools

- To prepare dashboards with plots and charts.
- Multiple output formats like CSV, PDF, etc.
- Custom changes in UI and UX.
- Interactive plots and charts.
- Increase the forum and community for quick response to question or doubt.

- Giving permissions to the user level for folders and reports.
- Need to improve in providing feature for localization for start of day and currency

October 25, 2017
Jaspersoft at customized banking applications
- Was very strong in customize the reports based on customer need.
- Verity of viz templates.

- Internal memory management and garbage collection.
- Inbuild analytics functions.

TIBCO JasperReports Server
- Easy to use (Jasperserver)
- Fully customizable
- Drill-down functionalities (Jasperserver)
- Ease of Administration (it is often necessary to make adjustments to JavaScript)
October 13, 2017
Jaspersoft is a great tool in my book
- Excellent easy process of embedding Jaspersoft into a website.
- Easy process of working with Jaspersoft elements through Visualize.js
- Helpful Community if you take into consideration the communities of other BI similar products
- Community is quite large but it would be much more helpful if more experts could answer our questions
- Their API is not that well documented
- I would prefer some of the Pro features to exist on community edition as well, like for example HTML5 Charts
October 05, 2017
Jaspersoft MI
- Flexible, extensible platform (can drill into the low-level Java if required)
- Domains are well realised (i.e. more meta-data control than other low-end platforms)
- Dealing with very large datasets - might include more optimisations and configuration options (especially as we move towards Big Data)
- Better documentation
- More local consultancy (UK)
October 05, 2017
Switch to TIBCO Jaspersoft
- Interactive reports (sort, format, ... by users)
- Interactive Charts
- Custom reports
- Scalability
- Requires programming skills
- To formulate database queries or to create more complex reports with scripts
- Multiple data sources cannot be defined for a report
- Basic Java programming skills are necessary
September 29, 2017
Pros and Cons. Overall great!
- Easy to link data sources
- It takes quite a number of clicks to get to where you want to go.
- The upgrade process is not quick and simple, especially when using a TIBCO AMI. You would expect the upgrade to be easier.
September 25, 2017
Jaspersoft Review
- Most of our reports use tables - which is a great structure. Especially the formatting
- Export to different formats is so easy and out of box
- Parameterization of Reports
- Dashboard - We had lot of issues in using the dashboard from a performance and technology perspective. It has significant improvements in 6.4 but we still feel dashboard integration with the application ( especially if we want to show on home page)is not that smooth)
- Ad-hoc drill-down charts - HTML5 charts with easy drill-down would be great
September 21, 2017
My TIBCO Jaspersoft Review
- The performance of producing, in some cases, large reports is a win for our Customers. It offloads that activity from the application server and puts in where it belongs - the reporting server.
- The ability to embed, using visualize.js, is a significant win for us. We were able to wrap it and offer it as a standard plug-in for our Customers that lets them choose their own reports to embed and decide who, when and where they see those embedded reports.
- Doing business with TIBCO Jaspersoft is a pleasure. The Support they provide is excellent. They have endless resources available for learning the relevant bits of the product when you need them.
- Formatting of crosstabs is still the weakest point.
- Performance of crosstabs has still room for improvement.
- The ease of designing Domains could be easier with a preview option.
September 21, 2017
Jaspersoft , complicated reporting made simple
- Some reports can be setup to let users to drill down deeper or wider, hence reducing the efforts of creating multiple versions of reports as compared to other similar tools.
- Reports with the need to integrate charting are not as straightforward. Some settings of the charts are rigid.
- Security features require IT personnel to be involved.
September 21, 2017
Review on BI King
- Adhoc Views and reports build
- Security
- Single Sign on
- ADhoc Views portability with domain change
- more control over the data security
- coupling and decoupling the views, reports
September 20, 2017
Jaspersoft Server Review
- It is good mainly for Adhoc Views.
- Dashboards are also pretty good.
- Report generation is straightforward.
- When user is logged into Jasper using SSO from other application, it is difficult to pass user related data if the data set is large.
- Any small change in Domain results in creation of Ahoc views again. It will be better if it is simplified.
- Local support is good but it is not supporting currency.
September 18, 2017
Jaspersoft Server review
- Good integration points, powerful APIs
- Visualize.js didn't have all of the functionality we needed, so it should be improved upon.
September 15, 2017
It works & does the job.
- Good enterprise features, like detailed role and permission management.
- Lot of flexibility possible with JasperReports.
- Works.
- Sometimes the software (from an engineering PoV) feels "patched" together and not consistent.
- Huge complexity, for users and developers.
- Dashboard features very expensive (almost impossible) to customize.
September 15, 2017
Embedded BI
- PIxel Perfect design
- Very robust
- Lots of customization options and allows us to make customized stuff
- Slow and clunky UI. (Both Jasperserver and Studio)
- Has bugs in new releases
- Can be intimidating to newer users
September 13, 2017
Jaspersoft - Solid functionality at at reasonable price
- Being Java based, we are able to leverage the full functionality of Jfree charts through Jaspersoft by using our internal chart customizer for published reports (PDF, Excel, and Powerpoint).
- For jasper Server, the install is quick and we are able to do a full install within minutes.
- The development platform for jasper is easy to use (Studio) and new employees can quickly come up to speed.
- Ad Hoc: we deal with very large data sets and we have struggled in the ad hoc area. The domains are great for aggregated data, but we cannot use it to present transaction level data.
- Mapping: it is not easy to create maps at the territory level. Our customers typically use zip codes to create their geographies and we have not been able to incorporate this into any of the out of the box maps.

Review of JasperReports Server
- Enables users to query databases without the knowledge of SQL
- Provides the ability for users to customize their data
- Enables scheduling of reports to run at future times while offline
- Jaspersoft needs the ability to perform simple date math. (ie Sep 1, 2017 + 180 = Feb 28, 2018)
- I would like the ability to tab reports/views. Much like you can in Excel. If I need to quickly switch between two reports, it would make it more functional to click a tab at the bottom. I realize that I can create a dashboard, but it's not the same. I can only fit so much on the screen in the dashboard.
- The main area of concern I've had with Jaspersoft is performance. There's a lot that goes into this, but SQL optimization would be helpful, or if the software could provide recommendations on SQL optimization in the admin area
- The tool is very flexible and powerful. You can add different types of charts and reports for any data structure. Especially the jasper studio has lots of possibilities and a good designed XML structure
- Results are easy to use even for inexperienced user without IT Knowledge
- There are lots of export possibilities. Especially important: Excel, PDF and PowerPoint
- Jaspersoft reports are very lightweight: No extra database needed, they work directly with any database server
- It is not possible to add a PowerPoint Master to the PowerPoint export. So it can not used to create fully ready print ready reports.
- Dashboards are very restricted: No easy to add and use, good looking filter mechanisms, restricted in size to the current screen.
- Ease of integration in existing appplcations
- Features and quality of Ad Hoc Designer tool
- Good customer care and technical support
- Visualize.js not fully supporting dashboards and Ad-hoc view
- Web app performance sometimes is non as good as expected
- Tuning of the system has been an hard task
August 29, 2017
Jasper review
- It's relatively simple for us to call Jasper reports from our application
- Jasper's data is displayed in a clean format - I feel more for people who like to "see" data as opposed to seeing pretty graphs.
- Jasper has certain limitations that I would call bugs but they seen as "features". An example is when I need to go into a user's account to add or change an attribute, I HAVE to enter the password for that person or else the password is lost. This has meant that we have had to keep a log of our users' passwords and we have not been able to give them the ability to change their own passwords.
- All saved ad-hocs in Jasper store the label name of a field instead of the id (best practice) which has made it impossible for us as a company providing Jasper to our users, to change the names of fields whenever we want to. This is very frustrating.
