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 TIBCO Jaspersoft struggles with stability, ease of configuration, and outdated visualization tools, needing enhancements for report creation and big data support.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

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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"If you are looking for dashboards and do not have a data warehouse yet, QlikView is the best option."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"Licensing costs"

"They need to improve on the idea, concept and support."

"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."

"The backend (scripting) needs improvement to be more like a real ETL BI tool."

"I would like to see a modernised user interface."

"QlikView has some superb, unique features but the desktop edition suffers from having a rather tired user interface."

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

"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."

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 support team needs to be improved."

"Writing custom domains is a difficult task"

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

"The user interface of Jaspersoft server is not appealing and should get a sparkling makeover."

"TIBCO support is not that great as the guys are not very keen at resolving the issue and making issues which can be resolved also as enhancements."

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

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."

"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."

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

More QlikView pricing and cost advice

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

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

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

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

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
