Pros and Cons

TIBCO Jaspersoft does really well in GUI layout. It has been relatively quick and easy to get used to the layout and produce a report, sub report, add an image, connect databases, and so on. The layout and organization of the software is simple enough that you could figure it out yourself if you needed to.
TIBCO Jaspersoft releases, licensing, products are available in a timely manner. I am able to login to my account and download the latest updates without a problem. Information is available for me when I need it.
TIBCO Jaspersoft application and web interface allows for complete control of the report that is being given to users. Management is easy. Duplication of a report is also easy. Overall, my experience has been pleasant with how quick I can start and finish a report. A simple report shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

I have a hard time getting my font embedded into the Jasper Report for it to successfully be present in a downloaded PDF. There have been at least two ways I've found that have had both successful and unsuccessful results.
There are a few times where the errors were not descriptive enough for me to know what was wrong.

I would recommend TIBCO Jaspersoft to a colleague if they needed to allow a user to access data on demand and with different parameters for the same set of information. It is a great query tool that allows many different individuals, with different needs to be able to access the same data set and retrieve the unique information they each need. It is great for creating company tailored documents. It may not be great for documents that would constantly change style or graphics. I'd recommend it for reports/queries that will be a standard in your company for a while.
