Precision reports have improved embedded analytics, though setup and documentation still need work
Every platform has its own way of working and definitely there is always a room for improvement. Jaspersoft is the same. I find that there is a good space on the learning curve, which can be decreased with proper documentation because if someone is a seasoned developer or a seasoned professional, it is easy to have the knowledge and the kind of reports they want to bring with Jaspersoft, but if some new learners or newbies are there, then definitely there is a learning curve on this. Additionally, on the licensing side there is a commercial and the enterprise license. You need to see which one suits you better and should not overpay it unnecessarily if it is not needed. The documentation gap is also there, so I would still recommend that the documentation can be much more emphasized, standardized, and have something specifically about the integration on the coding side, like how you should need to configure the things. That is where the documentation can be enhanced. I would say maybe on the performance and support size because if you are running it on the server, sometime the UI might or the report may take some time to refresh data or get a delayed response, and that is where things can be improved. If someone is looking for a seamless experience, they can definitely go for Jaspersoft. But if they are looking for a quick building of the report with drag and drop facilities, then there are some other tools for the report generations, quite easily. They can opt for that instead. For Jaspersoft, scalability is where it definitely shines in. We were working on different multiple reports against a data set over thousands or hundreds of records. By using its JSON data integration, it was easier to get all the data ingestion on the server-side filtering, then the performance remains stable even under the heavy load. It is really good. As I mentioned, the licensing part is important with the enterprise and the community license. You need to see which one suits you better. Additionally, on the speed side, if you are running it on a server side, you need to see and balance the load accordingly so that the refresh rate should be high and should not have a delayed response. That is another point. One of the more core points would be the documentation gaps. The user interface that can be enhanced because currently Jaspersoft Studio feels like a bit using a tool from an early 2005 or 2010 version. With respect to the newer generation or the current era, the UI needs to be enhanced and the user experience should disrupt the other competitors in the market. That is where the improvement can be done.
