Our customers' operations are made easier by having up-to-date messaging
We mainly use the PDF rendering facility. The combination of the MS Word template and the passing of a JSON data object into a single simple REST API call that returns a PDF document is exactly what we required. The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool. The HTML rendering, in combination with our own AWS SES service, allows a very simple method of producing bespoke emails. The storage of templates within the product in a folder structure makes the rendering call simple and also allows for multiple environments to be catered for.

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

"There is flexibility in laying out tables that is akin to UI front-end design."
"Having a robust, simple, cost-effective rendering solution integrated into our own products increases our attractiveness to customers."
"A new report’s template creation is very often manipulation of a user’s layout of a report. A report can be ready in a day or less, once stored procedures are created as per sections in the report."
"It is a straightforward, cost-effective solution for rendering PDF documents that saved us time and money due to its ease of use, Java API, and clear documentation."
"By going down the path of using Docmosis with templates it’ll be a lot easier to maintain control and consistency than if it was done through HTML."
"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."
"Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance. And when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report."
"Our business is in a hypergrowth phase, and Docmosis not only provided us with a powerful library for document generation that has accompanied our growth, but also with amazing support during this transition."
"It’s very straightforward to Install Jaspersoft in both Linux and Windows."
"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 most valuable features are that it is a browser-based system and memory consumption for the client with large-scale data is reasonable."
"The REST API functionality on the server is valuable because it gave us a really easy way to distribute reports to non-technical end users."
"The most valuable features are the security file and the general data level security implementation framework."
"The reports and analytic view feature and the ability to generate large reports in background are most valuable to us."
"The reports I prepare using TIBCO Jaspersoft are quite user-friendly, and the look and feel are much better compared to other report generation tools."
"For Enterprise level companies, it has rich enterprise features such as ad-hoc reporting on self service BI, rich dashboards, rich embedded BI solutions, mobile BI solutions, multi-tenant features, and rich HTML-5 visualizations."
 

Cons

"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools. When report templates are complex, sometimes any minor modification needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it does not disrupt a previously designed template."
"During the AWS S3 outage last year, we did lose access to Docmosis for about 3-4 hours."
"It was much easier to implement than we thought. But because of the dependency on the open source/open office and having that installed and the fonts installed, it was a bit complex as we have to containerize everything."
"We are facing new challenges such as internationalization. The next big challenge will be to offer even more date formats and numbers that cover the majority of countries. It will be to also think about features, such as number to text conversion, or the reverse which is currently only available in English but is in great demand by our international customers."
"The challenge in usage when we developed the reports four years ago was the limited logic that can be applied to manipulate and display data. That functionality was largely transferred over to the database layer in creating the data output that was to be displayed."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools."
"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could also be a useful addition."
"They don't always deliver what we ask, but they're very conscientious about responding to us."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft sometimes lags when doing very heavy work, which is one area that needs improvement."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft could be improved because it is open source."
"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."
"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."
"Drag and drop desktop tool for analysis such as that in Tableau, QlikView or Spotfire desktop could be a part of Jasper Design Studio."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price bands are based on pages so ensure you have a good understanding of this if documents are of variable length."
"Cloud and REST API models keep the setup costs low."
"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."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
