TIBCO Jaspersoft Community Edition is very powerful platform that has enhanced smooth running of workflows across our organization. The system operation has greatly created positive development infrastructure in our company due to excellent planning from the data analytics. The cost running this product is low as compared to similar software and easy to learn how it works. It provides comprehensive reports that affect each department and offers solution to most challenges affecting our systems.

Jaspersoft Community Edition is well-suited for the user without a budget to purchase a reporting solution. It is robust and produces attractive, full-featured reports. It is NOT, however, suitable for a large corporation looking to take advantage of advanced features such as creation of dashboards, ad-hoc reporting, and use of a metadata layer.

Quite a tough one to answer. Most of the time it is based on the situation. If time is important and need to be taken into account and a lot of reports need to be created, I'd rather use Jaspersoft. Good for generic reporting.

If one needs a handful of reports and the look and feel is important as well as functionality, just develop your own reports using a report library.

We are reporting on customers' data and using Jaspersoft to create easy to understand visualizations (charts, graphs, tables).

The Jaspersoft Online reporting software is very complex. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to do in order to get started.

I find it very well suited for basic reporting. A very easy interface, straight forward report, and easy domain access.
I believe there are better options for more complex reporting but for what we need Jaspersoft works well.
Visualize, while being a very nice tool with very dynamic reporting, seems to be lacking in the abilities to share data over multiple accounts.

Good for customers who want simple basic reporting, however all companies require more in-depth reporting which outshine free online tools. Jaspersoft needs to enhance dashboards, personalise scheduling such as email templates, add company logos and give the whole look and feel a review as it looks very dated etc.

Definitely suitable for ETL, BI, recurring report generation, automatic emailing of generated reports, user dashboards, role-based dashboards, role based database visibility, graphic representation of data.

We have used Jasper for complex financial reporting, media calendar reporting, Invoices, purchase orders, estimates, project management reports in our software

It has issues where there is a need for Runtime SQL connection injection, or where a report has multiple main queries, where you have to depend on custom data sources. Custom data sources have to be written in Java and have a ton of memory leaks and garbage collection issues.

It's more suited if you want to integrate charts and reports directly into third-party software, however, it is limited in functionality after the fact. It's not as good for data exploration and chart creation by non/limited technical people. It's not as intuitive as other products, like Tableau and Power BI.

It fits the perfect bill for SMB units who operate on a small scale if you are looking for the below needs: 1. Simple reports with few complexities in SQL queries etc. 2. Fits for less no.of users (reporting admins, reporting users). Hardware needs to scaled up accordingly with the increase of usage/ concurrency of the reporting system. 3. Fits for simple scheduling purposes where there are few managers who want reports on a daily basis. 4. Simple dashboards. 5. Monitoring purposes. (Production unit). in case of implementing for large enterprises need to consider the below aspects. 1. No.of users 2. Need to do perf test every report based on concurrency before moving to production. 3. Constant monitoring of reporting servers when the load/ concurrency goes high. 4. Restrict dashboards to only few reporting admins compared to large scale. 5. Constant changes in hardware based on the usage. (physical resources needs to be beefed up in case of higher usage). 6. Check the costly queries, constant fine tuning. 7. Architecture of Web should be made in such away that you can upgrade Jasper web with out impacting your DB. So that in case if Jasper team informs to upgrade for couple of fixes.

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.

File loading is good with similar source and target database systems with various options. But for heterogenous database tasks like joining Oracle db tables and loading to Postgres or vice-versa, or to SQL and Oracle etc. performance is worse. It might be for various reasons, but proper documentation is required on best practices. The problem is Tibco also gives limited support.

I think the product is well suited in a scenario where the user understands what they're buying and what they aren't buying. You're not buying Tableau. You're buying an embeddable solution that can be white labeled and added to your application. You're not buying the work product of a multi-billion dollar product.
