Senior Systems Engineer (Sr. level II) at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Gives us one repository for various output formats and retention periods
A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven. Much like other technology companies that have fallen into this trap, let feature and compatibly releases be controlled by the technical group, instead of the marketing and/or management people. I cite the example that CA mainframe products were deemed to be compatible with Extended Address Volumes (EAV) - larger sized disk volumes - when they were not. I have been doing this for 37 years and see it all too often, sometimes to the detriment of the company itself (Storage Technology Corp. and its Iceberg array comes to mind).

Software Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Legacy reporting has exposed limitations and now drives a gradual shift to modern analytics
Something that I wish would be improved is that TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio looks like something that was designed in the 1980s. The UI is not user-friendly. Finding things in the solution can be quite tedious, and the exported code does not really follow good programming standards. For example, the use of exceptions were not very descriptive. You would have something called exception one, two, three, post-grass exception one, two, three, nothing very descriptive as to what was going on. The files were very long and you would end up with a bunch of code that was not really being used. Helping the tool create more intuitive naming conventions would be better. Maybe implementing some sort of AI logic to clean up the code after it has been generated would help. It would be nice if there was easier integration with other programming languages such as Python, which is where we were migrating to because of its versatility and big data capabilities. Something like Scala and Hadoop would have made it easier for us to remain in Java. I would say to improve TIBCO Jaspersoft, integrate it with other programming languages and other big data tools and include AI functionality. I cannot even see what I need to see in the display box, so I would fix the AI. Another thing to note is that TIBCO Jaspersoft does not offer much in terms of documentation. There were only some wiki pages for some common errors. Customer support required you to have a license. It is not available to the general public. As for performance, working with Java 8 and 11 instead of the latest Java versions is also something that impacted our performance because we had some packages that were dependent on Java version 21 and up.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Having one repository for various output formats and retention periods. Provides the flexibility to establish hundreds of different retention entries, based upon business need, and then group the like retention period outputs together on the same media. It is very efficient."
"Flexibility of report configuration; allows for quick and simple amendments to definitions."
"Extremely stable and reliable, and easy to install."
"The benefits are that it keeps their information for over 40 to 50 years, so in essence it's a digital bank for customer information."
"The best feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft would be that you design the report first and then that generates Java code."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"Community edition which is free is the best buy for small to medium companies who can't afford any money at all to try a product."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"Jaspersoft is very talented and suitable for creating applications when sharing data with external parties, offering high processing power for report generation and being cost-effective."
"It is a good, simple to learn product with some limitations."
"The reporting and charting features: I have worked with other reporting tools and I find this tool is easier and faster to work with while creating charts."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
 

Cons

"Needs ability to allow export to xls/pdf, etc. (Note: this is available in add-on product CA – OM Web Viewer)."
"A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven. I cite the example that CA mainframe products were deemed to be compatible with Extended Address Volumes (EAV) - larger sized disk volumes - when they were not."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft could be improved because it is open source."
"The support team needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Pricing is reasonable, licensing model suitable for large enterprises."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
