Our customers' operations are made easier by having up-to-date messaging
We mainly use the PDF rendering facility. The combination of the MS Word template and the passing of a JSON data object into a single simple REST API call that returns a PDF document is exactly what we required. The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool. The HTML rendering, in combination with our own AWS SES service, allows a very simple method of producing bespoke emails. The storage of templates within the product in a folder structure makes the rendering call simple and also allows for multiple environments to be catered for.

Legacy reporting has exposed limitations and now drives a gradual shift to modern analytics
Something that I wish would be improved is that TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio looks like something that was designed in the 1980s. The UI is not user-friendly. Finding things in the solution can be quite tedious, and the exported code does not really follow good programming standards. For example, the use of exceptions were not very descriptive. You would have something called exception one, two, three, post-grass exception one, two, three, nothing very descriptive as to what was going on. The files were very long and you would end up with a bunch of code that was not really being used. Helping the tool create more intuitive naming conventions would be better. Maybe implementing some sort of AI logic to clean up the code after it has been generated would help. It would be nice if there was easier integration with other programming languages such as Python, which is where we were migrating to because of its versatility and big data capabilities. Something like Scala and Hadoop would have made it easier for us to remain in Java. I would say to improve TIBCO Jaspersoft, integrate it with other programming languages and other big data tools and include AI functionality. I cannot even see what I need to see in the display box, so I would fix the AI. Another thing to note is that TIBCO Jaspersoft does not offer much in terms of documentation. There were only some wiki pages for some common errors. Customer support required you to have a license. It is not available to the general public. As for performance, working with Java 8 and 11 instead of the latest Java versions is also something that impacted our performance because we had some packages that were dependent on Java version 21 and up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand."
"By going down the path of using Docmosis with templates it’ll be a lot easier to maintain control and consistency than if it was done through HTML."
"It's absolutely fantastic; it's much easier to design your reports, it's fast, it's efficient, it's been fantastic for us, and it comes highly recommended."
"My initial projections are that we have an 80% improvement in that process."
"This is the cornerstone of our office's functionality, where people can create templates, create an offer template, and then a recruiter can just go into a couple of fields and they have a beautiful offer letter."
"Having a robust, simple, cost-effective rendering solution integrated into our own products increases our attractiveness to customers."
"Our business is in a hypergrowth phase, and Docmosis not only provided us with a powerful library for document generation that has accompanied our growth, but also with amazing support during this transition."
"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"The reports I prepare using TIBCO Jaspersoft are quite user-friendly, and the look and feel are much better compared to other report generation tools."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"Community edition which is free is the best buy for small to medium companies who can't afford any money at all to try a product."
"The reports and analytic view feature and the ability to generate large reports in background are most valuable to us."
"Automation of existing reports and dashboards has helped in increased productivity and huge efficiency savings."
 

Cons

"The challenge in usage when we developed the reports four years ago was the limited logic that can be applied to manipulate and display data."
"It's still a bit complex to develop reports and because of that complexity, there are often mistakes that get made."
"They don't always deliver what we ask, but they're very conscientious about responding to us."
"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could be a useful addition."
"We are facing new challenges such as internationalization. The next big challenge will be to offer even more date formats and numbers that cover the majority of countries."
"It was much easier to implement than we thought. But because of the dependency on the open source/open office and having that installed and the fonts installed, it was a bit complex as we have to containerize everything."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools. When report templates are complex, sometimes any minor modification needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it does not disrupt a previously designed template."
"Right now, the product can be a little finicky with background images, sort of how the tabs work when you try to underline something."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft sometimes lags when doing very heavy work, which is one area that needs improvement."
"There is scope of improvement in terms of: More flexibility for report / dashboards development. A report bursting option."
"Visualization can be improved further in terms of design, and to align it with other, new reporting tools."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft's customer support is basically non-existent."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"TIBCO support is not that great as the guys are not very keen at resolving the issue and making issues which can be resolved also as enhancements."
"The support team needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price bands are based on pages so ensure you have a good understanding of this if documents are of variable length."
"Cloud and REST API models keep the setup costs low."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
