Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft

  • I think TIBCO does a good job of creating a good licensing model.
  • They've updated their product with more modern charting libraries.
  • We regularly find bugs that we have to report, it may just be our use case.
  • The authentication framework is a little tough to master.
  • It took us a few years to get it fully implemented.
Tableau was way, way more expensive and wasn't able to be embedded and white labeled, so we didn't go with them. I think Tableau is stronger on the visualization and predictive side... but overall... if you can't afford them, who cares?
I think the product is well suited in a scenario where the user understands what they're buying and what they aren't buying. You're not buying Tableau. You're buying an embeddable solution that can be white labeled and added to your application. You're not buying the work product of a multi-billion dollar product.
