  • It has created positive ROI.
  • We have implemented most planned projects.
The overall performance of this platform has been excellent. It is easy to work with the user interface. Creation of digital content and publishing on our social media platforms during marketing has been easy. Running our applications and upgrading our system to meet international standards has been successful. The user dashboard displays reports and performance of all departments effectively.
The customer support team has been reliable and always ready to offer assistance to all our team members when we require their help. They gave us lessons and guidelines on how to implement our projects while using this product. We are grateful from the support we received from the vendor since our systems have been running smoothly since we deployed this platform.

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 Community Edition allows creation, modification and publication of high-quality pixel-perfect reports.
  • It is open source/free.
  • Ad-hoc reporting is not available with Jaspersoft Community Edition.
  • Management and performance tuning is not provided in Jaspersoft Community Edition.
  • Data-level security can only be provided through the commercial edition of Jaspersoft.
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.

  • 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.
FoxPro is a deprecated product and can no longer be downloaded or purchased. While it was a great report development tool, it is no longer a viable solution. While we do use Business Objects in very specific and limited implementations and for specific users, we find that Jaspersoft Community Edition and Jaspersoft, in general, is a much more robust, faster-performing reporting tool. In our environment, we use Tableau as a valuable tool for non-real-time reporting. However, our Jaspersoft implementation is against real-time data and the performance is outstanding.

Being used to develop and create reports templates. These reports fetch data from my companies applications. So the client can decide to create their own report by accessing the application's semantic data layer or they can save a lot of time and money to use the created templates.
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.
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.

  • 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.
I cannot fairly answer this questions and I have not used other reporting tools. Other reporting tools seem to look like they are great via sales pitches and video previews etc. At end of the day, they struggle with the same issues that Jasper faces. Or they might have solved an issue that Jasper has, but Jasper then has solved other issues they have not yet solved.

  • Documentation is readily available and has a nice user base to provide third party support for many common issues and concerns.
  • Easy to use. Very user friendly and simplistic when needed.
  • Integration with other languages and systems is not complex.
  • More in depth documentation regarding some of more advanced customization options. For example, using Java applets with Jaspersoft iReports.
  • It can be difficult to write advanced queries or complex reporting models from within the JasperSoft suite itself. If you have to get very complex, there are other options such as using Java or another language to process the data and form it as XML to send into Jasper, but it would be so much easier to allow for this from inside the IDE.
  • Have noticed some issues going between versions of Jasper Reports. As if backwards compatibility was lost in one version, then regained in another.
If the colleague is in the market for some nice data analysis and reporting tools, Jaspersoft products are definitely at the top of my list.

Some questions might be:
- What do you need to report, and how do you want to present it?
- What technologies are you consuming it from (Java, C#, etc)?
- What kind of output methods are you looking for (PDF, CSV, HTML)?
  • Created detailed reports that were formatted in a more efficient pattern and more easily generated and extended for the user's needs.
  • Ability to generate graphs and deliverables based on simple information provided to the tool.
  • Multiple output methods make providing reports and tools a breeze for the adapting to the style of the consumer.
I only give it 5 because I am no longer working in an environment where Jaspersoft is used.
