Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."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."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"We ended up going with Windward for the level of support we got from them during our proof of concept."
"One of the features that we have found most important is that the report builder is in Word, so it was very easy to get into it... We could also use some of our existing Word templates."
"The most valuable features are the ability for it to be integrated into our software solution and the AutoTag tool that allows us to quite quickly create and update the templates themselves."
"The integration with MS Office is an advantage, creating a better user experience."
"You can use Microsoft Office as your designer interface. There is very little programming. You can have nontechnical people create reports."
"Technical support is very good. They reply immediately and follow-up with any questions."
"A useful, easy to use product, which has a lot of features for designing reports."
"Creating dynamic table of contents (TOC) based on dynamic data in different 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."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"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."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that 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."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The only thing I can think of, that we'd like it to do, would be the ability to "burst out" reports, meaning one section of a report could be sent out as an email to a manager of a department, say, without having to run multiple reports to do it. As it sits now, we have to do multiple reports to do it."
"Their PDF needs improvement. We've run into some issues when we tried to generate a Word document. If we try to generate the same document in PDF, sometimes it doesn't look exactly the same."
"It would be nice to have a black-and-white, ideal setup for servers, to maximize capabilities. We went through a lot of scenarios to get something that is scalable. An ideal AWS-package server setup could have saved us a lot of time. But I understand this is very company specific."
"There are some Excel formatting things that you lose when you implement a template: some default Excel validation scripts, macros. You could create them in Excel if you were just using Excel, but in creating a template that generates a report, some of those validation things are lost."
"The error reports also need improvement. If you don't key it in right, it's a little hard to find the root cause. It gives you information as much as it can, but it doesn't really hone in and tell you explicitly what you should do to correct the problem."
"The next release could benefit from a cloud-based environment."
"There is always room for improvement in the speed, especially with the complex, multi-line Excel spreadsheets. They made some improvements in the last version that are quantum-fold faster than when I first started. But there is always room for improvement there. You always want reports faster and faster."
"It needs the ability to drill down in a single report (i.e., interactive) into data."
