    Chose Jaspersoft
    In other roles, we have used Cognos. The cost of Jaspersoft was a huge advantage when we were starting up. We couldn't afford Cognos and since we are proficient in Jaspersoft, we haven't missed Cognos a bit.

    We used TIBCO Jaspersoft due to the open source nature and the reduced cost of licensing and maintenance. It also allows itself to be embedded in a resold product more easily then other applications do.

    Chose Jaspersoft
    When we originally selected Jaspersoft four years ago, the other finalists were Cognos (could not scale at an affordable price) and Pentaho (reports and security model - not as functional).
