We performed a comparison between IBM Cognos and TIBCO Jaspersoft based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of IBM Cognos is security. The solution has updated features that other competitors' solutions come out with long after IBM Cognos has had them."
"The main difference that I like about Cognos compared to other solutions is its data splitting functionality. We have all our company data inside the Cognos environment and so we prefer to split the information Cognos itself. It's more efficient this way."
"The basic platform comes with several meta-modelling tools."
"The correlation analysis is excellent. It's one of the best that I have used to date."
"Report Studio: This is the most powerful and sophisticated tool for professional reporting."
"A positive feature is Report Studio, where we create beautiful, complex reports."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use, which makes it easily compatible with other tools."
"I have worked on the features like dashboards and stories, and I do like them a lot."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"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 designer is the most valuable feature."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"Compared to Tableau and PowerBI, the IBM interface is easier to use. However, the drag-and-drop functionality isn't as straightforward. Formatting is also more challenging in the cloud than in other applications, like Power BI. Also, if you encounter an issue, it takes more time to resolve it on the formatting side."
"The visualization aspect needs to be improved and I believe, this is being resolved in upcoming versions."
"There are many problems with the product's stability part, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We would like to see development of the product's UI function, to make it more of a UI tool that can be configured as required."
"Cognos charts are not as fast as those of the other tools, even with DQM (dynamic query mode)."
"Most of our company's customers want to be able to deploy IBM Cognos on a web application and use it as a desktop application, which is not possible currently."
"There are some problems with how Cognos handles huge data sets and when connecting with multiple sources and searching the data."
"I would like for the platform to become more standard. If we make a development on our report and our dashboard, it will not be used in another solution. That means there is no portability for the developers."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
