My organization currently uses Tibco Jaspersoft at the enterprise level. Although the organization uses the paid, commercial version of Tibco Jaspersoft, I inadvertently found myself using the Community Edition successfully in that commercial environment with no issues. Although I updated my software to the commercial version of Jaspersoft, I was very pleased with the functionality of the community edition.

Jaspersoft Review at Glance
My company is migrating reports from SSRS to Jasper now. After migration it will be used across the company. It will be used as a reporting tool to demonstrate the sales, bookings, etc. info from underlying datawarehouse.
- 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.

Jaspersoft Studio Review
- Charts are very clear and regularly updated
- Scheduling reports is easy
- Reduced number of clicks to access reports
- Scheduling dashboards - should be able to export to Excel, exporting to PDF looks cheap and not correctly aligned.
- Calculated Measures - over-complicated and difficult for new users to get to grips with.
- Admin rights - customers should be able to access other people's reports and schedules if they have admin rights.
- Dashboards - should have more space than one screen.

It'll do for now!
- Multi tenancy
- Report scheduling
- 3rd party integration
- basic charts
- Chart customisation could be made a lot easier for non-technical users. More control of this through the UI or right click mouse options would make it a lot better to use. Like in Tableau or Power BI.
- The process for creating drill through charts could also be simplified through better UI options without the need to manually enter parameters and report links.
- A better way of dealing with existing fields in already created reports that need to be changed or removed from the domain without having to browse through each report to remove the field manually beforehand.
- The UI and feel of the ad-hoc view/report creator could be made a little more user-friendly with more UI options available without having to refer to a separate website to hunt for the appropriate APIs.
- Have more pre-calculated chart options. Such as Pareto charts that a right click function would enable on a chart. Presently all the data has to be structured very specifically to do this. DevExpress has had this option available for a long time.
- Ability to drill through from a Chart to tabular data instead of having to go to the crosstab view to do so

Jaspersoft - Ease of reporting.
Jaspersoft is being used as a part of reporting application for reporting purposes to our enterprise product for SAAS, Hosted clients.
Mainly targeted for Admin users to do the below tasks:
1. Day to day reporting needs
2. Scheduling the reports to end users who look for transactions happening in the parent enterprise system.
3. Customize the reports based on company formats.
4. One part of our company product (acquired) uses Dashboard features of Jaspersoft
Also the Jaspersoft is being used to track the compliance of mandatory readiness attended by internal employees of company.
- 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

A great alternative to Pentaho.
- Pixel perfect reports
- Highly customized reports using open source technology
- Easy to use dashboard and ad hoc report builder
- Repository interface is a flat structure. Folder or other structure would be best for numerous reports for several different departments.
- Should come fully equipped with all available properties for High Charts
- Better user guides that includes more information about configurations for styles, conditions, etc. that aren't covered in the guide.

DWBI Master
- Integration of Tibco Jaspersoft ETL with realtime apps using Kafka components
- Integration of Tibco Jaspersoft Reporting portal using iFrame into our apps for Reports
- Big data components to integrate with Hadoop ecosystem
- The first thing to improve is proper step-by- step documentation, instead of each service/agent level. Understanding all the product components available and their use, will give a clear picture to beginners.
- The installer says that it includes all components, but at the time of installation we realized that there are some SVN/GitHub components that we had to install separately. And If we install individual services separately, the configuration is different.
- The logging options became worse from Tibco Jaspersoft Big Data ETL 6.0.1 to 6.3.1. The log4 level info was perfect in 6.0.1 but somehow it is messed up in 6.3.1 and it doesn't provide logging detail like in 5.5. It just says started and completed.

Need PixelPerfect Reporting, Get JasperSoft
- Jaspersoft provides an ability to allow my users to build their own analysis in a snap plus the environment is completely secure.
- Jaspersoft provides us with the ability to build pixel perfect reports for end users.
- Jaspersoft contains some amazing visualizations that speaks a thousand words.
- I cannot speak to its core functionality as what we need is there. But it required quite a bit of hunting to get to what we were needing. There are no well published resources that can point to the data modeling for the tool plus development environment requires quite a bit of learning.

Jaspersoft - good value product. Excellent with pixel perfect reports. Not so good for Ad Hoc Views.
- Intuitive UI
- Good performance for pixel perfect reports
- Multi-tenancy support
- Very bad performance for Ad Hoc Views when working with medium to large datasets
- Poor documentation of Domain creation and tuning
- Official monitoring and instrumentation support is very limited
