Pixel perfect reports have improved complex safety compliance and multilingual operations
Currently, I see that Jaspersoft does not have any AI features in the version I am using, 7.01. I think in a coming version, we will get some AI features that will help developers develop reports quickly. That is one improvement I see as necessary. As a developer using Jaspersoft, I faced challenges initially with controlling text and other elements. However, over time, when I repeatedly used all those features, I became accustomed to it. Taking up this tool and developing with it takes some time to understand how to handle different aspects, and obviously, the documentation we have to go through is quite lengthy. If we can use some modern technology or AI tools to summarize the documentation and other resources, that would be useful for developers. I have not given Jaspersoft a perfect 10 because, as a tool, it is somewhat complex. There are certain elements of reporting that are somewhat difficult to implement in Jaspersoft compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau.

Strong layout and design capabilities; leverages every aspect available in Word-native formatting
The licensing key is a little bit twitchy. I'd like to see more HTML formatting support in templates. It has a basic stock of HTML formatting capability, but it doesn't have a rich vocabulary. I have to work around that sometimes. The help documentation and blog posts are extensive, but not always up to date. The error reports also need improvement. If you don't key it in right, it's a little hard to find the root cause. It gives you information as much as it can, but it doesn't really hone in and tell you explicitly what you should do to correct the problem.
