Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft

  • Large number of controls in the palette to create a Job. Support to Java code.
  • Dynamic job call and flexible output (column) in dynamic column query.
  • Support development and deployment on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms.
  • Support to output or dynamic column input for more controls such as Excel.
  • When the war file is deployed in WebLogic, and there is a dynamic job call, when calling or updating, internally it loses the reference of the subjob folder and it is difficult to update a change to the subjobs.
  • Use the commands externally to manage a Job ETL, in the web application of the central administration panel.
  • Control for PDF document creation, there are some in the marketplace.
  • Self-taught
The learning curve was overcome, with the reading of the books Getting Started with Talend Open Studio for Data Integration | PACKTPUB and the product manuals...
Loading and executing the various examples that come in the product.
Learn how to install and configure the product in Windows and Linux.
Forums for resolution of errors and performance.

All this allowed me to advance in the construction of Jobs ETLs. I also learned the basics of the IDE product of Jasper Reports, its Portal and its integration
Tibco Jaspersoft is a stronger competitor than the Microsoft Reports and ETL products. The flexibility and power of using the software, multi platform and deployment and monitoring has no comparison to what you use.

It would be interesting to integrate some features of predictive controls of Tibco Spotfire in Tibco Jaspersoft ETL and Jaspersoft Reports.

More robust features in the BPM type documentation in the Job ETL.
Also more features and types of Jobs of the different flavors of Talend products.
Pros:
All Jobs of the type Extraction-Transformation-Load - multiple database and file
formats, FTP / SFTP sending and Web services / REST.
Support for non-relational databases, data cleaning controls and Big Data.
Deployment of Jobs in application server, for integration with Web applications.

Cons:
Sending data in "dynamic" parameters (to control the report) for creation of reports, Tibco Jasper Reports.
