Pros and Cons

The tool is very flexible and powerful. You can add different types of charts and reports for any data structure. Especially the jasper studio has lots of possibilities and a good designed XML structure
Results are easy to use even for inexperienced user without IT Knowledge
There are lots of export possibilities. Especially important: Excel, PDF and PowerPoint
Jaspersoft reports are very lightweight: No extra database needed, they work directly with any database server

It is not possible to add a PowerPoint Master to the PowerPoint export. So it can not used to create fully ready print ready reports.
Dashboards are very restricted: No easy to add and use, good looking filter mechanisms, restricted in size to the current screen.

Alternatives Considered

Jaspersoft works directly on our databases: No duplication or adaption needed. It is flexible and powerful.

Jaspersoft is perfect to evaluate and visualize existing databases. You can do ad hoc reports as well as standard reports and especially dashboards with drill down functionality between the reports are very helpful.
It is not appropriate for unstructured data that need ETL processes or data mining.

Powerful and flexible tool to analyze data and create convincing dashboards
