Cons
"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.""The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement.""The upgrades are not easy.""TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports.""There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported.""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.""Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft Cons →

"The initial setup can be difficult.""I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""The data compression has room for improvement.""We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."

    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.

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.
