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

"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template based approach, and Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them, making it easy to change reports and providing flexibility in our design approach."
"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template-based approach. Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them. The templates made it easy to make any changes to reports and provided flexibility in our design approach."
"It allows documents to be designed without needing a developer or a web designer; anybody who has expertise in Microsoft Word can do this kind of thing, or even the customer themselves could easily format the document to make changes."
"It's absolutely fantastic; it's much easier to design your reports, it's fast, it's efficient, it's been fantastic for us, and it comes highly recommended."
"Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand."
"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."
"Having a robust, simple, cost-effective rendering solution integrated into our own products increases our attractiveness to customers."
"My initial projections are that we have an 80% improvement in that process."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"From a visualization perspective, it is easy to add charts and everything in TIBCO Jaspersoft, so compared to Cognos, it is better, and the performance is also better."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"We were going to the AWS cloud, and Jaspersoft was the only tool which understood the licensing part of the cloud, and the easy handling of the row-level security made me decide to choose it."
"It is a good, simple to learn product with some limitations."
"The most valuable features are the security file and the general data level security implementation framework."
"HTML5 charts are rich and dynamics Ad-hoc reporting allows the end user or analyst to easily develop their own reports (based on business language)."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"They don't always deliver what we ask, but they're very conscientious about responding to us."
"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could also be a useful addition."
"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could be a useful addition."
"During the AWS S3 outage last year, we did lose access to Docmosis for about 3-4 hours."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"TIBCO support is not that great as the guys are not very keen at resolving the issue and making issues which can be resolved also as enhancements."
"We encountered some scalability issues, as the server doesn't handle too many concurrent connections very well."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft sometimes lags when doing very heavy work, which is one area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"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."
"The migration between versions could be hard."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
 

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."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
