What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have encountered scalability issues. At certain points, the data became too large and was not effectively cached.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support provided was terrible.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we used Microsoft reports and switched due to high licensing costs. Also, the older versions for which we had a license for, were not able to effectively manage memory consumption on the client side.

How was the initial setup?

The setup process was relatively standard and it has a good installer. A person with any level of Tomcat knowledge should be familiar with the system.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The community version is free. It has a pretty good feature set for free software. However, the enterprise version is incredibly overpriced.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Pentaho, which was incredibly frustrating and unintuitive to use.

What other advice do I have?

Don't implement this product.

The scope of the product is fairly limited compared with some other open source offerings, but it does what it does very well

Verdict

Jaspersoft Community addresses the creation of reports and charts and does so admirably. The scope of the product is fairly limited compared with some other open source offerings, but it does what it does very well.

JasperSoft provides several versions of its JasperSoft BI suite. The Community edition essentially provides a reporting and charting environment with supporting infrastructure. The report designer supports charts, images, crosstabs and sub-reports for sophisticated report layouts. Interactive report viewing is a browser based report viewer with sorting, filtering and formatting of report snapshot views. A centralised repository provides infrastructure for reporting and stores user profiles, reports, dashboards and analytic views.

Reports can be automatically scheduled and distributed using Report Scheduling, and User Access and Security provides report access by role or user. Mobile BI is also supported for iPhone and Android devices.

The commercial editions add much more including dashboards, a metadata layer, in-memory analysis, data integration capability and interactive visualizations. The list of JasperSoft customers is impressive, although most will undoubtedly be using the more capable commercial version.
