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.
