    Any scenario where you need to reach back into TIBCO support is something I would highly avoid. Most responses at the second round get you pointed to engaging their professional services. The general mentality seems to be "since our product acquisition cost is low, why don't you engage PS to get the value you need" If you are looking at enterprise scenarios, I would highly recommend looking at other more established products.

    • Community - A very strong community available online, videos - on basic how to questions, also provides assistance to use case specific scenarios.
    • Ease of Reporting - Can create a reports with in few clicks with out struggle.
    • Domain Designer - A very powerful tool you can create a dataset using clicks with out writing SQL code.
    • OnDemand Scheduling - A very good scheduling feature and a has got lot more simplistic compared to other popular tools like Cognos.
    • Jasper Studio - Very good programmatic tool (desktop tool) lets you customize the reports more company specific, can embed complex coding with 3rd party languages like Java, Groovy (scripting language).

    Cons
    Jaspersoft
    • Easier to customize the Jasper Server GUI. More flexibility with the input controls look and feel and maybe more input control types to select from.
    • Have browser event functionality in the reporting itself.
    • An easier way to iterate through an object. Maybe an option that tells the report Java run-time to stop following the report sequential flow and first integrate through this stated object many times.
    • An easier way to create a list and add values to this list.
    • Maybe one could stipulate the process flow of what needs to be computed first in a given field.
    • The crosstab is a bit buggy on the Jasper studio side, so if that could be improved.
    • Better and more examples of custom components
    • The jive functionality on the tables needs an update. It looks so old and outdated.

    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.

    Usability
    Jaspersoft
    The overall performance of this platform has been excellent. It is easy to work with the user interface. Creation of digital content and publishing on our social media platforms during marketing has been easy. Running our applications and upgrading our system to meet international standards has been successful. The user dashboard displays reports and performance of all departments effectively.

    Because I have the feeling that some improvements should be done to the software itself but the overall experience is quite good for the paid price and the information and analysis you can received from the system

    While the training was somewhat beneficial, a lot of what was taught to us was what we managed to figure out in the weeks prior. It did provide some useful tips and reference material, but overall something more tailored to our requirements would've been better.

    New releases can be very buggy, also lacking when it comes to standard time zones and formats that are outside the US. As a company we never feel comfortable implementing a new release for at least 3-6 months due to errors that are found

    Alternatives Considered
    Jaspersoft
    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.

    Vertafore had a cleaner platform all around. The user interface was far superior and the functionality seemed to be leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. Everyone was pleased with the sales team and the responsiveness. We felt the tool integrated very well with our existing internal tools and software.

    Return on Investment
    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.
