"The reporting features the solution offers are excellent."

"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"I would like to see a change in the premium capacity."
"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"The cost of the solution can get high."
"Compared to other applications, like Tableau, Microsoft BI doesn't have as many functions that allow you to do more in-depth analysis and represent the findings."
"It is easy enough. I don't see any real substantial improvements that are needed. It is great as it is, but its interface could be a bit modern."
"When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it."
"A lot of people work on Excel, so being able to export an Excel file as part of a subscription would be an improvement."
"There should be more integration with other platforms."
"It is limited for us because SAP is shifting toward the cloud, and we can't use a cloud solution for SAP BusinessObjects. SAP introduced a product called PlusTimes one or two years ago and another one that I believe was called Automatic BI. This tool is more powerful than BusinessObjects and other tools because it's provided in the cloud."
"The admin features for disk space management need work. It's very difficult to manage the disk space by the application; good admin features and not included to allow you to do that. I don't believe that is in the latest version of the product either."
"The solution can improve by having more analytical features."
"Tableau was easier for me to use because the interface is more similar to Excel which I was used to using."
"The interface could be slicker and more user-friendly."
"The performance could be improved, like when we extract a large amount of data."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform has to be improved performance-wise. The look and feel of this application, its scalability, setup, and technical support also need improvement."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"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."
