Reports generation is efficient and saves effort, but integrating new features could enhance overall experience
I haven't contacted Microsoft technical support because of this tool, but for some other things I have, and I found them quite lacking. We had trouble with Azure Firewall, where we wanted logs from our VMs, but reaching out to Microsoft took a prolonged time to the extent that we were wondering why Microsoft was unable to get its own logs to us, which occurred a few months back. I would rate Microsoft support around 6.5 to seven, as they don't directly interact with medium-sized MSMEs, always referring to their partners, so it differs based on the partner's level of relationship with Microsoft.

Has delivered visually appealing reports and improved user interaction
The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward. This was one of the concerns with TIBCO Jaspersoft. The limitations include compatibility with some drivers where we do not have adequate JDBC drivers, and because of that, I am not able to make the connection pool. I do see a negative side in terms of support. I am a little disappointed because when we report any defect, it takes time to get a resolution. There are also limitations on some connectors where we do not have connectivity established. These are the few issues I faced while using TIBCO Jaspersoft.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The SQL Server Reporting Services makes it very easy to get the data whenever we need it."
"The solution is known for its robust security features."
"Outside of that, it's a pretty solid tool, pretty straightforward, and I have no issues with it."
"In Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, the installation and configuration are easy."
"The solution's features are all just wrapped up in one nice easy package. I don't need a lot of toolsets to get everything I need done."
"We get good support from Microsoft."
"It is scalable."
"It is a stable solution."
More Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services pros
"We can set any property dynamically."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros
 

Cons

"The product could be improved by reducing the time it takes to build and deploy reports."
"It is not easy to integrate the product with other tools in the market."
"It would be really nice to have better integration between the solution and Power BI."
"The complex tuning for report performance is complicated. There is a lack of native support for source code control. We often need to use separate tools like VS Code or other software to manage version control and changes in the database. It would be beneficial if source code management were integrated directly into SSRS, thus eliminating the need to rely on external tools. While CLI-based operations are exemplary, the trend is towards GUI for a better user experience. Integrating both visualization and source code management within SSRS would simplify the process for users."
"The solution's interface is old."
"I haven't contacted Microsoft technical support because of this tool, but for some other things I have, and I found them quite lacking."
"In this solution, the cost should be reduced for the enterprise edition."
"I would like the solution to add the scheduling feature for reports."
More Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services cons
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"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."
More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons
