- Jaspersoft Community Edition has not had any significant impact on our ROI as we have purchased the commercial edition of the product.
- The only impact on ROI is that when we bring on new developers, he or she can begin work using the community edition while awaiting the installation of the commercial edition.
Jaspersoft Review at Glance
- It has better performance. The first page of a report will be displayed as soon as the data comes, and users can read the first page while waiting for the other pages to load.
- The structure of the reports are in XML format, which makes it easily readable and editable.
- It is Java based, experienced Java developer can tailor the report with their own needs.
- Vague error message. Usually something like "Some error happened, please contact your administrator". It's impossible to locate the root cause quickly.
- Exporting. When exporting report to xlsx, docs, pptx format, the layouts are not perfect.
- Report width cannot be increased automatically.

Consistency is key!
The report templates can then be used by the clients so they can deploy and set up the templates on their JasperServer or they can use the templates as baseline reports on Jasperstudio and make custom development changes to the reports to fit their business situations or logic.
- Custom design reports in Jaspersoft Studio. There is a lot of flexibility to customize reports. You can create easy reports in a quick time frame or complex report in a bit more time.
- The company does not need a 100% developer to develop reports. Someone with some level of developer experience could use Jasper Studio
- Jasper also provides a stand-alone web server to deploy your reports. This opens up a lot of Jaspersoft Studio files.
- There is a lot of time and effort put into the software. Years of input that improved all levels of the applications. Jasperstudio, Jasperserver, a manual, the community, etc.
- Flexibility is awesome, you can do almost anything. Having well-rounded REST API or you can use the Java Studio.
- There is a lot out of the box functionality. Scheduler, stand-alone reports, report output formats, logging settings, customization of GUI to a degree, permissions, roles, and user setup Studio, etc.
- Easier to customize the Jasper Server GUI. More flexibility with the input controls look and feel and maybe more input control types to select from.
- Have browser event functionality in the reporting itself.
- An easier way to iterate through an object. Maybe an option that tells the report Java run-time to stop following the report sequential flow and first integrate through this stated object many times.
- An easier way to create a list and add values to this list.
- Maybe one could stipulate the process flow of what needs to be computed first in a given field.
- The crosstab is a bit buggy on the Jasper studio side, so if that could be improved.
- Better and more examples of custom components
- The jive functionality on the tables needs an update. It looks so old and outdated.
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.

- Constant and reliable, so we save on support requirements based on errors and issues.
- Tough to measure the impact of data that is collected in presentable in a visual day where everyday employees can make business decisions.
- Compliments the business product solutions.
Jaspersoft - Ease of reporting.
- Very intuitive tool - An Advanced reporting user can figure out in a day on the end to end operations.
- Easy customization - Simple changes in UI makes it less headache for the end user who maintains the tool. Being an open source product (offers Jasper web services) makes a lot developer friendly compared to SSRS, Cognos etc.
- Easy Connectivity - Can connect to any data source (can connect to multiple data sources) for a single report - can be customized.
- Community - A very strong community available online, videos - on basic how to questions, also provides assistance to use case specific scenarios.
- Ease of Reporting - Can create a reports with in few clicks with out struggle.
- Domain Designer - A very powerful tool you can create a dataset using clicks with out writing SQL code.
- OnDemand Scheduling - A very good scheduling feature and a has got lot more simplistic compared to other popular tools like Cognos.
- Jasper Studio - Very good programmatic tool (desktop tool) lets you customize the reports more company specific, can embed complex coding with 3rd party languages like Java, Groovy (scripting language).
- Inconsistent Errors - Crash dump errors annoys end users while not giving an clue of the actual reason of the failure. Everything has to be manually dealt by admins who need to tediously investigating through the error logs and investigating the crash dump errors or need to enable auditing which will tax the overall system.
- Stability , Performance issues - You can experience a lot of Performance issues with the increase of complexity in programming SQL queries but there are majority of performance bottle necks with in the product architecture on the supportability.
- Scaling - There are lot of hiccup's while scaling the product to huge set of audiences on a large scale mainly due to vagueness on the documentation and test results provided from Jasper support team. Need to invest a lot of internal perf testing before rolling this to large scale users for any reporting needs.
- Data source connectivity issues - You can face multiple connectivity errors across firewall, windows firewall, 3rd party driver issues mainly due to lack of in-house integration of the product. As the entire product is designed in Java and Java has a lot of issues in supporting MS platforms.
- Shortsightedness in Roadmap - Lack of Dynamism in product features - Product Managers at Jasper team dont offer much of the dynamic features offered from Tableau, SSRS, Cognos ex: optional/ forced parameters not available in legacy versions - available only in the recent versions. Also restricting schema to end user has to be dealt at the database level by the DBA teams, this feature available of restricting schema is not available from Jasper team.
- Jasper studio still needs to be scaled up to a lot of extent compared to MS- BIDS - Visual studio, Cognos - Report Studio - especially in terms of supporting multi dataset based queries in a single band of the report, parameters support with multiple datatypes.
- Support model not matching business model of customers - Any complex issue on legacy versions becomes a lot more challenge in dealing with Jasper team as they force you to upgrade with out understanding the dependencies on production environments. Getting a hotfix becomes lot more challenging. The front line of engineers do a basic troubleshooting with out understanding the actual problem, passing through several levels becomes exhausting before the actual engineer shows up who can fix the issue.
- Integration with 3rd party authentications - You can face a lot of challenges with authentication with 3rd party clients as there is no clear cut documentation, steps available from the Jaspersoft
