The challenges or issues I faced with Jaspersoft that led to the migration include the fact that the tech stack is deprecated and it was very troublesome to upgrade the Java version. Additionally, there was no integration with Python, so we ended up rewriting the whole thing in Python. We still use the JRXMLs for the reports, but we are not using Jaspersoft system for Jaspersoft Studio or anything else. The thing that was particularly frustrating with Jaspersoft was that the code being generated was not exactly following coding standards. A lot of the exceptions were very generic, such as exception one, two, three. It does not have great integration with other systems, which was one of the main reasons that led to the migration. We also struggled with learning how the system worked, and there is not much intuitive documentation or support for that matter. The needed improvements for Jaspersoft include better big data support and integrations with something such as Hadoop or Apache Spark.

Jaspersoft can be improved if the user interface can be enhanced. There are a lot of options for the text fonts, and all of those are on the right side and they are very small. If that can be improved, then it will be better to use. Apart from the user interface and font options, everything else about Jaspersoft sounds good.
The only area for improvement is that initial implementation takes considerable time and is somewhat complex, requiring someone with specific knowledge to perform it. Apart from that, everything is satisfactory.
