• Dashboard design. Super simple and easy to set up, move and size components, and display.
• Klip creation. This is report/chart creation. Klipfolio straddles the line well between ease-of-use and robust capability for data crunching and visualization.
• Data sync. I have had very few data sync issues. The sync just works and it is very light-weight on API calls.
• Multiple data source formats. You can make data sources in JSON, Summarized View, and Detailed View.
• Modeled data sources. You can create modeled versions of any data source, which allows you to lock in data formats, add columns (including formula columns), and more.
• Team permissions. I have been able to set team permission sets and use that to display the given dashboards around the office. With this, I can control who has access to which data.
• Chart options. There is a great selection of chart types to choose from.
• Great support. Their support staff has always been very responsive—almost always immediate. I have always been able to resolve my issues with them.

• Onboarding. The process of setting up a new client for a dashboard can be a little tedious.
• File size upload and third-party integrations. I have been limited to the size of the .csv file we were uploading but we were able to find a workaround.

Even though there are challenges with Architecture, sizing and other areas with Jaspersoft provided that Jaspersoft comes up with the right set of innovation, performance, scalability, and documentation in future it will be great expansion (win-win) situation for the clients and as well as Jaspersoft.

My initial impressions of the software have been extremely positive. There are YouTube tutorials that explain how to make klips. The intuitive design of the UI It appears that everything in this software has been thoroughly tested to create all the visualizations that can be imagined as well as the user input controls that allow users to have exactly the data they want to be displayed in seconds, considering the various functions and formulas available in the Excel integrations and the extensive list of other services that can be integrated.

None at all; just be sure of what information you will need for working.

Crystal reports is very expensive and does not integrate well with java based servers. Jasper also provides community edition, if we every want to downgrade the use, we always have the option of eliminating the server and using the reports as they are. Jasper also give you the opportunity to build BI on case by base basis including Dashboards.
