Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From a developer's perspective, the way the functionality's being handled is great.""It's quite effortless to navigate through various applications and review their updated data in real-time.""I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I didn't face any issues with stability.""The stability of Looker has been good since I have been using it. However, it depends on what components are being used.""Looker allows you to generate the most optimal SQL queries in a DC through UI actions. We had signed a contract with Google Cloud to use BigQuery. That was the primary reason we adopted Looker. It works better with BigQuery than any other BI platform. We also like how this tool was developed. It was designed with an eye toward microservices architecture.""It is a pretty stable solution because it is a cloud-based product.""With Looker, I have experienced benefits in terms of usability and shareability.""The product is easy to use."

"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft.""The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive.""You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards.""We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable.""The designer is the most valuable feature.""I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten.""The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application.""The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

Cons
"The product does not have documented material.""Stability needs improvement.""Looker doesn't connect to Excel, which is a huge disappointment because a lot of data is presented in Excel. Also, it can't consume data directly from REST APIs, which is necessary. Looker needs to expand its horizons when it comes to data sources. The inability to connect to different data sources is hampering our use cases. Currently, it only has an ODBC connection that connects to a database. It needs to connect to other data sources, such as Excel, APIs, and different platforms.""The visualization capability of the product is limited.""The integration with different databases must be improved.""Integrations with other BI tools could be better.""The main area of concern in Looker is probably related to blending the data from the different sources, including the data present internally in the company and on the cloud.""It needs to be more user-friendly."

More Looker Cons →

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement.""TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports.""The upgrades are not easy.""I would like to see better support for big data.""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.""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."

    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 companies are caught up in an imbrogilo as to which tool to use, what are the technology/and end business user wise differences/ do i actually need to purchase commercial edition, is there any work around etc. Differences :- In the below mentioned points, I have tried to cover functionality wise the differences a. Reports :- Jaspersoft is known for its picture pixel perfect reporting. Jasper uses ireport for designing the reports. Hence, for having reports, Jaspersoft is the most ideal candidate. Pentaho uses Pentaho Report Designer. b. Dashboards :- Pentaho provides much more capabililties, interactivity in terms of dashboards. Dashboards designed in Pentaho are far more superior in functionality, aesthetically as compared to Jaspersoft. Pentaho CE uses CDE/CDF, Pentaho EE uses PDD . Dashboard functionality is present only in the Enterprise edition of Jaspersoft. c. Pentaho is having an intermediate layer known as Xactions & hence providing much more flexibility in terms of plugin designing, integration with applications, having out of box experience etc. Xactions supports scripting and scheduling of scripts execution. Jaspersoft dosent provide that much of flexibility in terms of… Read more →
