    Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
    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.

Dashboard functionality is present only in the Enterprise edition of Jaspersoft. c.

Jaspersoft dosent provide that much of flexibility in terms of… Read more →
