Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft

  • Once installed, it is easy to configure and get up and running.
  • It integrates nicely with our software platform.
  • The support from TIBCO is pretty good when you are speaking to them in person.
  • The installation process is complicated.
  • The update process is complicated.
  • It is difficult to download the appropriate installation files from the TIBCO website.
We have now got the installation process internally streamlined and so the installation and configuration is not too much of an issue for us any more - but any time that we have to make any configuration changes (i.e. Hotfix) then there is always a period of troubleshooting to add this into our existing process.

  • Implemented in-house
The learning curve to complete the implementation was quite steep, and there are a lot of moving parts within a Jaspersoft deployment which can make it a challenge. However, we have now reached a stage where we rarely run into any implementation issues as the level of knowledge has increased sufficiently.
  • Self-taught
We have been able to find answers to questions either using internal knowledge, by contacting support or by reviewing online documentation.
Yes - I think this was a sensible approach.

Evaluating TIBCO Jaspersoft and Competitors

TIBCO Jaspersoft Implementation

TIBCO Jaspersoft Support

Yes - Yes, we reported an issue with SQL Server and received good support to determine the cause and then resolution.
I needed some information on OS support for JasperServer, so submitted a request which was answered within a matter of hours.

TIBCO Jaspersoft Reliability

We haven't really started to explore the scalability of the product as yet, but in terms of existing deployments it has done what we need it to do.
There have been a few instances where Tomcat has consumed 100% CPU, which requires a restart to resolve, but other than that reliability has been excellent.
Performance at the initial deployment stage can be very slow.
