Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft

  • Flexible BI Architecture: Jaspersoft enables Clevest to serve customers using different databases and different mobile platforms. Jaspersoft will aslo support Clevest with our plans for SaaS solutions in the near future.
  • Mobile BI Tools: Jaspersoft provides powerful BI tools for mobile applications, which is very important to Clevest as most of our users are utility field workers.
  • Powerful BI reporting and analytics: With Jaspersoft, Clevest can build powerful reports, dashboards, and summary snapshots with drill-downs for both office and mobile users. Moreover, we can offer our customers' power users the ability to create their own ad hoc or custom reports, using Jasper Server and Jasper Studio.
  • Scalable solution: Jaspersoft allows Clevest to scale as we are a fast-growing company and are adding more and more customers, and adding more solutions, with plans to offer SaaS offerings in the near future.
  • Value for money: We evaluated other BI vendors and found that Jaspersoft provided the highest value for what we plan to use embedded BI for.
  • More flexibility with dashboard design, esp. with color and font.
  • More utility-specific examples in their demos.
Apart from Microsoft's SSRS (incumbent solution that Jaspersoft replaced), we evaluated Power BI, Business Objects, Cognos, and Tableau.

Jaspersoft was selected because of the following reasons:
* Flexible architecture: Able to support on-premise, private cloud, and multi-tenant SaaS deployments. Able to support multiple platforms (Windows, iOS, Android), web, etc. Able to support any database, i.e. PostGres, SQL, Oracle
* Powerful embedded BI capabilities: Allows Clevest to offer standard reports, ad hoc, and custom reports, as well as dashboards. Allows us to serve the needs of larger utilities who require more sophisticated BI tools, esp. Jasper Studio.
* Scalability: Allows Clevest to add more customers and users.
* Highest ROI
Jaspersoft is well suited for any software solution that offers mobile solutions and needs flexible architecture.
