The best Reporting Tool for Java Developers
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.
PROSThis 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
CONSSome 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.

Good reporting software for smal and medium company.
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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.
Reason for choosing Jaspersoft
Initially we had it free and was able to test and found it fit for purpose. Also, the pricing was within our budget.

Business Intelligence Tool that's neither Intuitive or Intelligent
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.
PROSThis 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.
CONSThe 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.
Reason for choosing Jaspersoft
It is an opensource product.

Japersoft excellent for experience people that uses access
Jaspersoft is a good program and there can still be a big change in the customer support as well as the interface for beginners
PROSI like the easy convert from data to the charts and the quality that it is done with is impeccable.

Best report layout designer on the market.
I have been using Jasper Studio (iReport) and Jasper Server for the past 8 years and have really enjoyed the capabilities it offers and the ease of use. Continuous improvements have been made to both the designer side (iReport/Jasper Studio) and the report delivery side JasperServer. I would definately recommend you checking them out.
PROS* Easy to use * Flexible scenarios for report grouping * No cost level available for simple deployment and use * JasperServer has ability to automate delivery of reports.
CONS* Hard to find support forums (as a community/free user) * Custom data connectors present a challenge I haven't overcome for automated delivery (SQL reports are easy)

Experience with TIBCO Jaspersoft
It is used to generate inventory and status reports for monitored devices.
PROSThe query generation tool is easy to use, allowing you to generate complicated queries. The ability to configure so that certain operations are performed on the server and not on the database.
CONSThe generation of reports and dashboards with the factory tools is very limited, having to develop the dashboards using the java programming language. Which can only connect to relational data sources like Oracle, MySQL, etc.

Best Open Source Reporting Framework
I've found their reporting solutions to be reliable and versatile, I've integrated Jaspersoft into many projects over the years.
PROSAbility to achieve highly customized reporting solutions without having to make concessions. Jaspersoft provides open source solutions for reporting and hosting of reports. (Along with premium versions with advanced analytics.)
CONSIt can be a bit quirky, and integration of the Java programming language is somewhat un-intuitive. It also has a fairly steep learning curve for new comers.

TIBCO Jaspersoft Review
It's been mixed. Sometimes the built in functions do not work with the application I am publishing the report in. Learning java has been frustrating,
PROSIt is a pixel perfect report designing tool. It is very easy to design a descriptive report. I like the spreadsheet page layout.
CONSThe learning curve is steep. It's platform is java based which can take a non expert a longtime to figure out. Not a lot of chart options.

Simple yet powerful reporting tool.
Jaspersoft help us to create reports which data source are come from different databases with ease and without worrying on display capabilities.
PROSI like the most on this software is the ease of you. It is very easy to understand the user interface. With it you can easy understand the flow on how to use it especially when you have experience on using other reporting tool. Objects are dependable to display what you need. Filters is very flexible. it is also capable to connect to other many sql servers such as MSSQL, MySQL, posgres and many more as long you have a driver.
CONSi don't like on this software is the looks. it is very corporate. This is because today's users are looking for fancy looking softwares.

Jaspersoft - A well rounded contender in the BI market
We've been using Jaspersoft in lieu of SSRS for several years now. The software is updated regularly, new features being added with every release. Jaspersoft supports a large number of data sources, including MongoDB. The support for their product is top-notch. We receive responses to our cases within minutes and most issues are solved shortly thereafter. On issues that we were not able to resolve, it was escalated to be fixed/included in the next software update.
CONSBeing a JAVA application, it was a bit tricky to embed into our .NET application. There's supposed to be easy ways to integrate, but none of those worked with our custom authentication. Unless you are using the approved and documented authentication methods, integration will be quite a bit of work, including custom JAVA classes, etc.

Can be powerful, but still contains some sloppy bugs for being as old as it is
If you need a pixel perfect reporting engine, Jaspersoft is going to be one of your best options. For those kind of reports, there are a lot of great features and you can do a lot. That being said, I think they got lazy because they had significant market share and could charge an arm and a leg for it for a long time, and now there are other competing systems coming out that are slicker and cheaper. Hoping that Jaspersoft gets back into a growth phase and cleans up the system while making their prices more competitive.
PROSPowerful features Easy to jump between editing design or XML source Preview within app works relatively well
CONSStill finding sloppy bugs in designer years after release Pricing is extremely high compared to more recently launched systems that are definitely stealing market share Some long-requested features have gone unaddressed.

Best Report generator of Java Application
It is one of the great report generating application used with Java Application. Though the learning curve is very difficult but once you master it then you will love this application.
PROSJasperSoft is one thing that comes in mind when we require our Java application to export data in visualization and state of the art format. I provides lots of features you can think of. In short is ease the job of Java developers to create gorgeous reports. It also provide function to create template of the reports that can be filled by data obtain from the database on the fly by the Java Applications.
CONSWell it's learning curve is very hard due to little documentation is present. Integration with the application is also difficult and if you integrate it than you can create many reports with minimum code.
