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

"Business processes automation provides higher efficiency and minimizes human error."
"The most valuable features are the pixel-perfect report, embedded report portal, scheduling reports, open source, etc."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The most valuable features are that it is a browser-based system and memory consumption for the client with large-scale data is reasonable."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"HTML5 charts are rich and dynamics Ad-hoc reporting allows the end user or analyst to easily develop their own reports (based on business language)."
"It is a good, simple to learn product with some limitations."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"Yellowfin doesn’t try to do everything – it is a BI presentation and communication tool, and it does it brilliantly."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"Visualization can be improved further in terms of design, and to align it with other, new reporting tools."
"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."
"Writing custom domains is a difficult task"
"The technical support provided was terrible."
"The first release was a bit buggy, but they seem to have gotten on top of that very quickly."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
