Jaspersoft Community Edition Reviews & Insights

We depend on this edition for business analytics for planning. It helps us to draw working plan and prepare for future to avoid risks that may affect our daily operations. The main challenge that we have solved is enhancement of transparent operation from each department and reliability in data analysis. It is easy to work with TIBCO Jaspersoft Community Edition and integrate with our applications.

TIBCO Jaspersoft Community Edition is very powerful platform that has enhanced smooth running of workflows across our organization. The system operation has greatly created positive development infrastructure in our company due to excellent planning from the data analytics. The cost running this product is low as compared to similar software and easy to learn how it works. It provides comprehensive reports that affect each department and offers solution to most challenges affecting our systems.

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 is well-suited for the user without a budget to purchase a reporting solution. It is robust and produces attractive, full-featured reports. It is NOT, however, suitable for a large corporation looking to take advantage of advanced features such as creation of dashboards, ad-hoc reporting, and use of a metadata layer.

My company is migrating reports from SSRS to Jasper now. After migration it will be used across the company. It will be used as a reporting tool to demonstrate the sales, bookings, etc. info from underlying datawarehouse.

Suited: You have a Java expert in your team. Less Appropriate: The user asks for an Excel format report and your report is rather complex.

Being used to develop and create reports templates. These reports fetch data from my companies applications. So the client can decide to create their own report by accessing the application's semantic data layer or they can save a lot of time and money to use the created templates.
The report templates can then be used by the clients so they can deploy and set up the templates on their JasperServer or they can use the templates as baseline reports on Jasperstudio and make custom development changes to the reports to fit their business situations or logic.

Quite a tough one to answer. Most of the time it is based on the situation. If time is important and need to be taken into account and a lot of reports need to be created, I'd rather use Jaspersoft. Good for generic reporting.

If one needs a handful of reports and the look and feel is important as well as functionality, just develop your own reports using a report library.

We are reporting on customers' data and using Jaspersoft to create easy to understand visualizations (charts, graphs, tables).

The Jaspersoft Online reporting software is very complex. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to do in order to get started.

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.

Well suited for most applications. TIBCO offers other applications that can expand the functionality.

I find it very well suited for basic reporting. A very easy interface, straight forward report, and easy domain access.
I believe there are better options for more complex reporting but for what we need Jaspersoft works well.
Visualize, while being a very nice tool with very dynamic reporting, seems to be lacking in the abilities to share data over multiple accounts.
