Jaspersoft Community Edition vs. Mode Analytics

TIBCO Jaspersoft Community Edition is very powerful platform that has enhanced smooth running of workflows across our organization. The system operation has greatly created positive development infrastructure in our company due to excellent planning from the data analytics. The cost running this product is low as compared to similar software and easy to learn how it works. It provides comprehensive reports that affect each department and offers solution to most challenges affecting our systems.

After launching a new contact pathway in a help experience, Mode Analytics can help provide insight into the sentiments from users as well as the engagement with any written content. Numeric outputs are easier to manage, whereas more nuanced/emotional feedback is sometimes hard to quantify (though not impossible if you get creative).

• Custom design reports in Jaspersoft Studio. There is a lot of flexibility to customize reports. You can create easy reports in a quick time frame or complex report in a bit more time.
• The company does not need a 100% developer to develop reports. Someone with some level of developer experience could use Jasper Studio
• Jasper also provides a stand-alone web server to deploy your reports. This opens up a lot of Jaspersoft Studio files.
• There is a lot of time and effort put into the software. Years of input that improved all levels of the applications. Jasperstudio, Jasperserver, a manual, the community, etc.
• Flexibility is awesome, you can do almost anything. Having well-rounded REST API or you can use the Java Studio.
• There is a lot out of the box functionality. Scheduler, stand-alone reports, report output formats, logging settings, customization of GUI to a degree, permissions, roles, and user setup Studio, etc.

• Easy to use (click a button and get right to SQL).
• Security First (everything is locked down by default).
• The White Label feature is super easy to skin -- our embedded reports look just like our app!

• Repository interface is a flat structure. Folder or other structure would be best for numerous reports for several different departments.
• Should come fully equipped with all available properties for High Charts
• Better user guides that includes more information about configurations for styles, conditions, etc. that aren't covered in the guide.

• Date ranges aren't always the most intuitive to set, strangely

Crystal reports is very expensive and does not integrate well with java based servers. Jasper also provides community edition, if we every want to downgrade the use, we always have the option of eliminating the server and using the reports as they are.

• Tableau is a huge pain to edit or create dashboards, by comparison. It can make better looking visualizations, but in practice, letting users drill down and change dimensions slows the end user experience so much that it's often not worth it.
• Looker is amazing for data modeling, but you have to get your whole business all in on it to take advantage. Viz capabilities are similar.
• Databricks has a lot of functionality overlap, but the visualizations are terrible. Databricks' great strength is that you can use notebooks to do anything with code.
