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 TIBCO Jaspersoft struggles with stability, ease of configuration, and outdated visualization tools, needing enhancements for report creation and big data support.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

Rapid development and flexibility transform commercial decision-making processes

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, considering that you're losing a lot of customers to Power BI. Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction. I am aware of several big corporations, such as Sanofi and Aspen Pharmacare, which have left QlikView due to cost issues.

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

"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."

"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."

"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."

"They could improve the speed."

"Reducing costs is the main improvement needed, as this is the biggest burden currently faced in the South African market, with Microsoft converting QlikView customers due to the perceived cost reduction."

"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."

"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."

"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."

More QlikView cons

"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."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"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 Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

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

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."

"The pricing is too high compared to the other solutions on the market."

"The platform's pricing is considered quite expensive, particularly given the dollar-based pricing."

"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."

"Pricing is a bit too high and I think licenses should be unlimited."

"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."

"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."

"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."

More QlikView 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."

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

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

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
