"There is flexibility in laying out tables that is akin to UI front-end design."
"Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance. And when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report."
"Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand."
"The ability to embed, and dynamically repeat, templates within each other is a very simple yet extremely powerful tool."
"To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template-based approach. Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them. The templates made it easy to make any changes to reports and provided flexibility in our design approach."
"A new report’s template creation is very often manipulation of a user’s layout of a report. A report can be ready in a day or less, once stored procedures are created as per sections in the report."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"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 solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The challenge in usage when we developed the reports four years ago was the limited logic that can be applied to manipulate and display data. That functionality was largely transferred over to the database layer in creating the data output that was to be displayed."
"We are facing new challenges such as internationalization. The next big challenge will be to offer even more date formats and numbers that cover the majority of countries. It will be to also think about features, such as number to text conversion, or the reverse which is currently only available in English but is in great demand by our international customers."
"Version control and restricted access to some users for template editing could be a useful addition."
"It would be great to have improved diagnostic and debugging tools. When report templates are complex, sometimes any minor modification needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it does not disrupt a previously designed template."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
