Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft
- Integration of Tibco Jaspersoft ETL with realtime apps using Kafka components
- Integration of Tibco Jaspersoft Reporting portal using iFrame into our apps for Reports
- Big data components to integrate with Hadoop ecosystem
- The first thing to improve is proper step-by- step documentation, instead of each service/agent level. Understanding all the product components available and their use, will give a clear picture to beginners.
- The installer says that it includes all components, but at the time of installation we realized that there are some SVN/GitHub components that we had to install separately. And If we install individual services separately, the configuration is different.
- The logging options became worse from Tibco Jaspersoft Big Data ETL 6.0.1 to 6.3.1. The log4 level info was perfect in 6.0.1 but somehow it is messed up in 6.3.1 and it doesn't provide logging detail like in 5.5. It just says started and completed.
We have explored other reporting tools like IBM Cognos, Tableau, SQL Reporting, and Qlik along with TIBCO Spotfire (in-memory). FInally looking at all options, features, degree of flexibility, and then license cost, we decided to go with TIBCO Jaspersoft.
The expressions and formulas used were bit difficult initially, and I had to flag a bug or missing feature with Jaspersoft to adding "case" statements in domain / ad hoc topic expressions.
