Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft
- Being Java based, we are able to leverage the full functionality of Jfree charts through Jaspersoft by using our internal chart customizer for published reports (PDF, Excel, and Powerpoint).
- For jasper Server, the install is quick and we are able to do a full install within minutes.
- The development platform for jasper is easy to use (Studio) and new employees can quickly come up to speed.
- Ad Hoc: we deal with very large data sets and we have struggled in the ad hoc area. The domains are great for aggregated data, but we cannot use it to present transaction level data.
- Mapping: it is not easy to create maps at the territory level. Our customers typically use zip codes to create their geographies and we have not been able to incorporate this into any of the out of the box maps.
In other roles, we have used Cognos. The cost of Jaspersoft was a huge advantage when we were starting up. We couldn't afford Cognos and since we are proficient in Jaspersoft, we haven't missed Cognos a bit.
