Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Jaspersoft Community Edition
My organization currently uses Tibco Jaspersoft at the enterprise level. Although the organization uses the paid, commercial version of Tibco Jaspersoft, I inadvertently found myself using the Community Edition successfully in that commercial environment with no issues. Although I updated my software to the commercial version of Jaspersoft, I was very pleased with the functionality of the community edition.
- Jaspersoft Community Edition allows creation, modification and publication of high-quality pixel-perfect reports.
- It is open source/free.
- Ad-hoc reporting is not available with Jaspersoft Community Edition.
- Management and performance tuning is not provided in Jaspersoft Community Edition.
- Data-level security can only be provided through the commercial edition of Jaspersoft.
- Jaspersoft Community Edition has not had any significant impact on our ROI as we have purchased the commercial edition of the product.
- The only impact on ROI is that when we bring on new developers, he or she can begin work using the community edition while awaiting the installation of the commercial edition.
FoxPro is a deprecated product and can no longer be downloaded or purchased. While it was a great report development tool, it is no longer a viable solution. While we do use Business Objects in very specific and limited implementations and for specific users, we find that Jaspersoft Community Edition and Jaspersoft, in general, is a much more robust, faster-performing reporting tool. In our environment, we use Tableau as a valuable tool for non-real-time reporting. However, our Jaspersoft implementation is against real-time data and the performance is outstanding.
