Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft

  • Competition is brutal and this requires us to offer the lowest price possible to the client. Jaspersoft's price - feature value proposition along with the high adoption by various companies was the leading factor which influenced our decision.
  • Support has been good. The response of Jasper team to various tickets has been good so far and we got solutions for most of our problems. It is quite user-friendly and easy to learn.
  • HTML 5 charts have quite good features which helped in making UI look promising.
  • We were able to achieve sorting and formatting on columns with the help of icons on top of the column which is quite a good feature. Though we faced some issues while creating a dashboard but somehow managed to create a nice report using this feature.
  • Sometimes we face random behaviour of Jasper reports which gives unexplained errors. Jasper documentation is not easily available and there are very less solutions available to problems.
  • Responsive design is not feasible in Jasper (as in report should adjust size when opened on mobile phone or IPad).
  • Rendering Jasper reports on salesforce takes some time using visualise.js.
We have /are using Tableau, MSTR, Spotfire, Cognos at many of our clients
Jaspersoft is very cost effective and flexible. We can create reports on Jaspersoft and embed the same in our applications. They are easy to learn and quick to deploy. The ease with which we are able to create new reports and deploy it in our applications is unmatched at the price which it is offered. Of course, there is paid software like Tableau, MSTR etc., but they are very expensive as compared to Jaspersoft.
