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

"Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance. And when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report."
"A new report’s template creation is very often manipulation of a user’s layout of a report. A report can be ready in a day or less, once stored procedures are created as per sections in the report."
"It allows documents to be designed without needing a developer or a web designer; anybody who has expertise in Microsoft Word can do this kind of thing, or even the customer themselves could easily format the document to make changes."
"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."
"It is a straightforward, cost-effective solution for rendering PDF documents that saved us time and money due to its ease of use, Java API, and clear documentation."
"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."
"There is flexibility in laying out tables that is akin to UI front-end design."
"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."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The reporting and charting features: I have worked with other reporting tools and I find this tool is easier and faster to work with while creating charts."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"We were going to the AWS cloud, and Jaspersoft was the only tool which understood the licensing part of the cloud, and the easy handling of the row-level security made me decide to choose it."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"The most valuable features are the security file and the general data level security implementation framework."
 

Cons

"During the AWS S3 outage last year, we did lose access to Docmosis for about 3-4 hours."
"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 will be to also think about features, such as number to text conversion, or the reverse which is currently only available in English but is in great demand by our international customers."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools."
"They don't always deliver what we ask, but they're very conscientious about responding to us."
"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."
"Right now, the product can be a little finicky with background images, sort of how the tabs work when you try to underline something."
"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. That functionality was largely transferred over to the database layer in creating the data output that was to be displayed."
"It's still a bit complex to develop reports and because of that complexity, there are often mistakes that get made."
"We encountered some scalability issues, as the server doesn't handle too many concurrent connections very well."
"The support team needs to be improved."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"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."
"Writing custom domains is a difficult task"
"The data validation and cleansing functionality need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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