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 TIBCO Jaspersoft struggles with stability, ease of configuration, and outdated visualization tools, needing enhancements for report creation and big data support.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.

Room For Improvement

QlikView needs a more intuitive interface, better scalability, integration, predictive analytics, and cost-effective licensing for improved user experience.

TIBCO Jaspersoft needs UI improvement, better big data compatibility, enhanced customization, seamless integration, and improved performance and documentation.

AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

Srdjan Grbic

Financial Controller with task of Business Intelligence Implementation at a wholesaler/distributor with 1,001-5,000 employees

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.

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.

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.

Daily invoice analytics has become streamlined and complex data modeling is now simplified

We are not using analytics features and possibly predictive analytics and forecasting features in QlikView, although they are available. QlikView is very flexible, but we are currently using only tabular presentation of data because that is what we need. Presenting a large volume of data in QlikView with graphics can be overwhelming for the majority of people who want to see a lot of information in one picture. It would be beneficial to have AI or ML features in QlikView. However, I think they will decommission QlikView, and AI features are already available in Qlik Sense, so you would need to migrate to that platform.

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.
