Cons
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."

More Birst Cons →

"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported.""I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved.""We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.""TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports.""The reporting templates have room for improvement.""Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it.""The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations.""The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
