Focused customization has exposed setup complexity but now automates daily banking reports
Jaspersoft's best feature is that any developed report can be customized with no restriction, and based on permissions, any user can customize a particular report. Reports can be modified at any time by taking the JRXML and making changes, then executing that particular Jaspersoft report. If there is any error, it will be caught while executing or compiling, and based on that, the error can be resolved and deployed to production. Jaspersoft also suggests where the error is and how it can be resolved, as AI is integrated with it. Beyond this, we can add an unlimited number of fields, and reports can be generated with an unlimited number of pages, which is not restricted to one or two pages. This is one of the best features that stands out when compared to other tools. Jaspersoft provides real-time data analytics and reporting features, which is also one of the best features, and it has impacted the organization very positively.

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.
