Jaspersoft

The best Reporting Tool for Java Developers

Commentaires : Sometimes the most difficult part to create custom reports using Jaspersoft Studio, is actually to write the query that will fetch the data. After that, building the report is mainly drag-n-drop, write some Java code, setup properties and parameters, and make your report ready.

Avantages :

This software is one of the best choices to create reports if you are a Java developer. All you need to know about is Java and SQL for the queries. It integrates with many databases, and I personally have used it with PostgreSQL and it works well. The reports you create from scratch are fully customizable, and can include the elements you need: labels, tables, images, ... I like a lot the subreport element, as it allows to create even more complex / nested reports, in which you usually follow a master-detail model. In addition, you can use the Java libraries to integrate Jasper reports into your Java application, either Desktop or Web, this will enable

Inconvénients :

Some features or properties are not too intuitive, which is understandable if we think this is a tool for developers. Even though, it would be nice to have a more intuitive GUI.

Japersoft excellent for experience people that uses access

Commentaires : Jaspersoft is a good program and there can still be a big change in the customer support as well as the interface for beginners

Avantages :

I like the easy convert from data to the charts and the quality that it is done with is impeccable.

Inconvénients :

The fact that if you enter wrong information it is not easy to fix.

Business Intelligence Tool that's neither Intuitive or Intelligent

Commentaires : If you need a bare bones BI tool, this will work. On a rare occasion I am able to create a report that is visually appealing, works on the server, and exports well. It takes way more work and time to produce a professional grade deliverable in Jaspersoft than it does in any other BI tool I have used.

Avantages :

This software is very customizable in terms of the output formats. Scheduled report delivery is very easy to accomplish on their reporting server. It also has the ability to create HTML 5 charts.

Inconvénients :

The design interface for report creation is atrocious. Very clunky, not intuitive, and dated especially when compared to other tools available (MS Power BI, Tableau, etc.). It is maddeningly picky when it comes to formatting. Reports will function well on in Jaspersoft and not function on a server. The error output is cryptic and requires decoding. Exported reports will look excellent in one format and awful in another. Ineffective documentation from Tibco makes learning the software a challenge if you are not an explorer. Drillable datasets are impossible.

Good reporting software for smal and medium company.

Commentaires : Good for reporting in real-time because it has helped us quite a lot in decision making. I am able to design and deploy reports easily without requesting for support.

Avantages :

The ability to integrate with different databases and the ease with which I can easily connect makes it great for me using the software. It can also handle huge database record simultaneously.

Inconvénients :

The manual designing is a little difficult when you are trying to create different fields and more easier when you can use the XML. If you are not a programmer, it will take you some time to use the XML. Additionally, you need to deal with the unused columns or rows when you export your report to excel.

Jaspersoft Reviews

Avantages :

As a developer, I need an application that visualizes my report to the users and Jaspersoft has to help me. It has the functionalities and features that truly help me with this type of support. Data connecting and drag-and-drop functionalities for creating reports are what I liked the most.

Inconvénients :

When I need some help it is hard to find coz when I try to browse the internet issue I find a small result which sometimes does not help me at all. Help on the desktop just provides minor details.
