Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 9, 2025

Tableau Enterprise and TIBCO Jaspersoft compete in the business intelligence and data visualization category. Tableau Enterprise seems to have the upper hand due to its advanced graphical data representation and ease of use.

Features: Tableau Enterprise offers graphical data representation, seamless data source integration, flexible report creation with parameters and filters, and interactive visualizations. It supports diverse data sources and provides analytics without extensive technical knowledge. TIBCO Jaspersoft includes enterprise-level features, customizable dashboards, and a wide range of charting libraries with data source integration.

Room for Improvement: Tableau faces challenges such as high cost, limited ETL capabilities, and performance issues with large datasets, along with a need for better native integrations and predictive analytics enhancements. TIBCO Jaspersoft is noted for complex configuration processes, needing improved visualization designs, and refining ad hoc reporting to compete with leading solutions like Tableau.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tableau Enterprise provides flexible deployment options across On-premises, Private Cloud, and Public Cloud, offering versatility for organizations. While receiving mixed reviews, Tableau's customer service is appreciated for community support but could improve in handling complex issues. TIBCO Jaspersoft, available on multiple platforms, is easier for community version deployment but requires technical expertise for enterprise features, with a need for better support and documentation.

Pricing and ROI: Tableau Enterprise, seen as expensive due to high licensing costs compared to competitors like Microsoft Power BI, is acknowledged for its robust features justifying the investment through improved efficiency. TIBCO Jaspersoft, offering a community version with cost savings for SMBs and higher-priced enterprise versions, provides extensive customization and integration capabilities, deemed cost-effective for scalable embedded BI solutions.

Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization

Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

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

"The solution helps users create dashboards and analyze data without relying on IT or product teams."

"One of the most valuable features is that the solution allows users to build interactive dashboards. This allows the end user to modify the criteria or the filtering if need be. As far as for my personal use as a QA Engineer, I really value how extensive their API document support has been."

"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."

"Technical support has been responsive."

"It provides business users with a tool, so they are not dependent on IT."

"A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool."

"The customer service and support for Tableau in Thailand are excellent."

"Tableau's performance is really good, and it is adding new features."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"We can set any property dynamically."

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."

"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."

"With Tableau, there is a gap in its ability to handle very large-scale data."

"When you create new fields in Tableau and you enter the formulas, there is a new small window that is there in the interface. You can enter the calculated fields, it could be more user-friendly. At this time it is limited and hard to understand at the beginning. The fields should be easier to use, such as in Microsoft Excel. You can have a difficult time understanding what to do in the fields, you end up doing trial and error to figure it out."

"More integration with Python or something related to machine learning would be a good improvement."

"The price could be better."

"Creating empty extracts is not easy."

"A strict security measure is needed. I believe it is weak in terms of security."

"People are migrating to Microsoft BI due to the speed, which is quite slow to load, and the lack of visualization options."

More Tableau Enterprise 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 upgrades are not easy."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

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

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

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

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying an annual licensing fee."

"I rate the product price in the Indian region a seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"I'm using Tableau Public, which is free."

"Pricing is not bad. It's competitive."

"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."

"The company chose to purchase a creator license for me, which was $70. With that license, you can also be an administrator. We also have 20-25 extra licenses and they cost around $20-$35 each. Those are for normal users who will be viewing the dashboards. Those are monthly charges."

"The solution is expensive but it depends on the customer's needs which will determine the cost of the licensing."

"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"

More Tableau Enterprise pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
