Lead Anaplanner at Chaucer Group

Data integration has improved reserving and expense control while collaboration drives fast dashboards

Regarding drawbacks or weak points in Microsoft Power BI, it may not be directly related to the tool itself, but with our architecture, as we couldn't get a service account, which is an email address that has no relationship with the employees, just to establish the connection with Anaplan. We couldn't get it to work on SSO, so we use an employee account which could be a point of weakness, meaning if the person leaves, that connection will break. If the person goes on holiday and we need to refresh, we have to change the connection as well, but we have to live with that since we're not using SSO on the service account. Regarding the natural language processing feature, we're trying to avoid using it too much because it can slow down the connection, so as much as possible, we try to build the logic and any transformation in Anaplan, and then deliver an end product to Microsoft Power BI.

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

"Reporting or SharePoint needs a lot of learning so you can build reports"

"Real-time data integration is an area for improvement. Although I've worked on several solutions involving real-time integration, it's not very user-friendly and often lags, especially with over a million data rows."

"Capacity could be improved."

"The solution could improve by having more attractive graphical charts."

"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."

"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."

"Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS."

"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"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."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

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

"Writing custom domains is a difficult task"

"The upgrades are not easy."

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

"Even though it works well enough for our purposes, one thing I think that could be improved is making it easier to configure."

"Drag and drop desktop tool for analysis such as that in Tableau, QlikView or Spotfire desktop could be a part of Jasper Design Studio."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"My company needs to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"Microsoft BI requires licenses."

"The premium capacity is very costly in respect of the market in Egypt, amounting to $5,000 monthly."

"As far as I am aware you do not need a license for the solution."

"We have premium licenses, but you can use it for free. You can share the content with anyone else, so you can use it for free."

"It is a cheap solution for our needs."

"I rate the product pricing a ten."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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