We performed a comparison between Tableau 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."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."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"Tableau is an advanced specialized tool. One of the best features I've seen is the lack of an intermediate semantic layer. I think that's an advantage compared to any other tool like BusinessObjects or Power BI, which are Tableau's biggest competitors."
"The most valuable feature is the 3D charting."
"The best part about Tableau is the visualization."
"You are able to see and follow trends."
"Easy for beginners to use"
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"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."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name."
"There are not enough language options. It needs to be offered in more than just English."
"Improvements can be made in template support. The workbook file structure is really hard to version control. If there was some sort of version control support offered particularly for workbooks, that would help big time."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"Other tools are more competitively priced."
"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."
"The user story model is the most deceptive part of Tableau. It is a big marketing option, however, the reality is that it is not enough."
"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"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."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The upgrades are not easy."
