Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 4, 2025

QlikView and TIBCO Jaspersoft compete in the business intelligence software category. Based on the comparisons, QlikView holds an advantage in deployment speed and data handling efficiency, while TIBCO Jaspersoft excels in flexibility for cloud deployment and cost-effective entry for smaller businesses.

Features: QlikView uses patented AQL technology for flexible data handling and integrates ETL with in-memory processing for quick analysis. It supports various data sources and boasts a large partner network, aiding data discovery. TIBCO Jaspersoft provides ad-hoc reporting, embedded BI solutions, and HTML-5 visualizations, making it apt for multi-tenant environments and mobile BI applications.

Room for Improvement: QlikView requires additional tools for ERP or CRM integrations, which raises costs and needs skilled IT specialists for development. It also faces RAM scalability limits. TIBCO Jaspersoft struggles with stability, ease of configuration, and outdated visualization tools, needing enhancements for report creation and big data support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: QlikView mainly offers on-premises deployment with minimal cloud options but benefits from strong technical help through local partners and active community support. TIBCO Jaspersoft supports public and hybrid clouds, providing deployment flexibility, supported by an excellent open-source community and robust technical assistance under enterprise subscriptions.

Pricing and ROI: QlikView can be costly as licenses and maintenance fees rise with a growing user base, though initial prices are competitive. Time savings and fast implementation often drive ROI. TIBCO Jaspersoft's open-source option allows a budget-friendly start, although enterprise features raise costs. Its flexible licensing can lower initial investments, offering favorable ROI when utilizing enterprise functionalities.

Rapid development and flexibility transform commercial decision-making processes

In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging to Power BI, considering that you're losing a lot of customers to Power BI. Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction. I am aware of several big corporations, such as Sanofi and Aspen Pharmacare, which have left QlikView due to cost issues.

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.

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."

"For me, it is important to have a mix, what is the "view" and what is the "sense", Qlik Sense. They have two tools, but for me it is important to have only one tool, which combines the functions that we have from one side and the other side."

"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."

"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."

"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."

"Error handling."

"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."

"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve."

More QlikView cons

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

"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."

"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."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

"The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward."

"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."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten."

"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."

"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."

"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."

"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."

"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."

"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."

"It has an annual license. It is expensive as compared to other competitive tools that do more for less. In South African rands, we pay about 100,000 to 200,000 a year."

More QlikView pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
