  • Include the jar files in your project and make the most sophisticated document with HTML5 og PDF output.
  • Use the javascript API library called visualize.js to embed your reports from the Jasperserver on your webpages in minutes.
  • Let your users make their own report in minutes with little or no training, via the self service BI portal.
  • The package is missing any prediction or forecast functionality.
  • The dashboard need more animated widgets with conditional formatting, like stoplights.
  • The Jaspersoft Online reporting software is very complex.
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.

  • Very easy to use. Drag and drop.
  • Very versatile when using data adapter to our HBase and Oracle backend data bases.
  • Reports are easy to read and understand.
  • Ad Hoc is not as powerful and flexible as report creation using Studio.
  • API is not documented as well as I think it could be. I ended up googling for a lot of questions. Community is great through.
  • Error reporting could provide more detailed. I caught myself on several occasions trying to figure out the root of the problem when it should be easily stated.
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.

Cost and ease of use. We ultimately decided to use Jaspersoft because we didn't need to do anything complicated. At the time we were looking into Microsoft Business Intelligence. While we saw Microsoft BI having actual better reporting and tools, we choose to use Jaspersoft because of support fees that Microsoft charges. Since we didn't need too much and money was a issue Jaspersoft was our decision.
We have only had a couple of tickets to be open while using Jaspersoft. Each time we have a very prompte responses that would meet our expectations. We always felt that our issues were being address in a timely manner
  • Implemented in-house
We really didnt have a hard time implementing Jaspersoft into our environment . The only small issue we had was with the connectivity of our Oracle servers. I would recommend watching the 5 minute getting started video on TIBCO website. This will give you a basis of how to begin implementing this into your environment.
  • Self-taught
Most of our training has been with trial and error, and of-course external web searches. Jaspersoft has alot to offer and can be alittle over whelming. On our team we had people to would specialize in certain parts of the reporting. This provided a much easier way to master the product.
As I mentioned earlier. The approach we took was to have a team learn certain parts of the process. We had a section work with the server, another section work on the studio, and the last section on the ETL. We would all know the full scope of the reporting but would only need to learn the specifics for what we were assigned.

  • 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.
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.

[TIBCO Jaspersoft is] Quicker, clearer and allows for more professional looking reports.
Poor internal knowledge, lack of communication skills and the fact less than 50% of our support calls are answered without the need to escalate.
  • Implemented in-house
New releases can be very buggy, also lacking when it comes to standard time zones and formats that are outside the US. As a company we never feel comfortable implementing a new release for at least 3-6 months due to errors that are found
  • Self-taught
Very simple product to learn. Though lacking in interactive knowledge base and videos
Certain parts are simple to follow, however functions such as calculated measures leave a lot to be desired and as such prevent people from willing to learn how to use them

Front end design and usability. There are many products out there, reporting software needs to stand out in a crowded matket
We would look at customer support reviews, types of charts and graphs on offer as well as amount of big fixes released after a new version
Yes
As we expect and require quick responses.
Yes
Nope. One line answer was supplied - 'will be fixed in future release'. No idea when this release will be, no effort made to understand the problem and how it impacts our business.
Nope, unfortunately we have never received this.
  • Drag and drop of fields and measures
  • Navigating the repository
  • Logging in
  • Calculated measures
  • Creating and personalising reports that stand out
  • Resetting a password

Very slow, not all reports scale correctly
Poor chart design, old fashioned interface, unable to define or create eye catching reports. Very buggy after new release

  • Grouping and paging
  • Export in various formats
  • Role and user management
  • REST integration with our software
  • Runtime database connections
  • Multiple SQL query injection
  • Caching and font customizations
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.

Crystal reports is very expensive and does not integrate well with java based servers. Jasper also provides community edition, if we every want to downgrade the use, we always have the option of eliminating the server and using the reports as they are. Jasper also give you the opportunity to build BI on case by base basis including Dashboards.
We had to hire a consultant to get their full attention, but he was knowledgeable and very thorough
  • Implemented in-house
It has a learning curve when it comes to custom data implementation, otherwise, it is pretty straight forward and they have plenty of documentation
Yes, it was easy. Jaspersoft has a huge opensource community, forums and a ton of documentation and samples online. They also host free webinars from time to time.
