FoxPro is a deprecated product and can no longer be downloaded or purchased. While it was a great report development tool, it is no longer a viable solution. While we do use Business Objects in very specific and limited implementations and for specific users, we find that …

My company has some cooperation with TIBCO, so they want to push Jaspersoft.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
I cannot fairly answer this questions and I have not used other reporting tools. Other reporting tools seem to look like they are great via sales pitches and video previews etc. At end of the day, they struggle with the same issues that Jasper faces. Or they might have solved …

I do not have solid knowledge on other products to compare them with Jaspersoft
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
Our initial selection was based on the understanding of this product to be able to match up against other enterprise BI tools. However, the difficulty with the reseller and the technical issues with the RBAC make this an easy choice to eliminate against other products.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
Pentaho and Cognos have been used and evaluated. Jaspersoft is similar to Pentaho, but has better support forums to answer questions. Cognos is slightly more intuitive, but at a higher licensing cost.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
Cost and ease of use. We ultimately decided to use Jaspersoft because we didn't need to do anything complicated. At the time we were looking into Microsoft Business Intelligence. While we saw Microsoft BI having actual better reporting and tools, we choose to use Jaspersoft …

Spotfire - Better support. More intuitive. Works with our databases.
Tableau - great support. Very simple and intuitive. Works with our databases!
Infor ION - Really expensive. Works well with their products. A lot of work with other products.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
At the moment of evaluation, it looked like Jasper would be able to cope with our data model. This was achieved with product customization. Visualizations are largely the same.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
TIBCO Jaspersoft was chosen because it fitted our software cloud architecture the best and at a reasonable cost. The rest didn't tick all the boxes at the time or were far too expensive. However, the likes of Power BI seem to be a contender now.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
We have explored other reporting tools like IBM Cognos, Tableau, SQL Reporting, and Qlik along with TIBCO Spotfire (in-memory). FInally looking at all options, features, degree of flexibility, and then license cost, we decided to go with TIBCO Jaspersoft.

[TIBCO Jaspersoft is] Quicker, clearer and allows for more professional looking reports.

Usage of a JRS report is vastly superior to xls usage.

In the past we have used Cognos. Jaspersoft was a better fit for us at this time.

Tableau and Qlikview reporting probably have better end-user experiences but can't be easily embedded in a Web app. Microsoft BI suite needs nearly a full stack of the latest versions of SQL Server, Excel and Sharepoint which an ISV can't assume its customers have. Other …

We are using both of them. Elasticsearch is still in early stage and very expensive.
Chose Jaspersoft Community Edition
Tableau was way, way more expensive and wasn't able to be embedded and white labeled, so we didn't go with them. I think Tableau is stronger on the visualization and predictive side... but overall... if you can't afford them, who cares?

Jasper seemed to be a little behind in features and usability, but had better pricing.

Of course, there are challenges in the evolution of Jasper and it may take some time to become a stable product. With Jasper 6.4 the stability is improvised a lot compared to previous versions(5.5). But I would recommend Jasper to any team for the following reasons.
Panorama Necto

Panorama Necto is a very self service BI, data discovery and automation tool. It empowers business users with data discovery tools.

How efficient is the tool for error handling capabilities? - In this case Panorama Necto has a unique feature of exceptional error handling capability and conditional error alerts that can be sent to stakeholders via email. An important question to ask while selecting any BI tool is, how good is the support? Panorama Necto has a group of highly knowledgeable and responsible support team members.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Comes with lot of option to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards
  • Helps you identify why you are succeeding and where you should shift your focus to.
  • The maps are amazing and they just don’t act as control points rather you can populate various measures on them making it really efficient to understand the business in geographical info graph

Cons
  • 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.

  • Panorama Necto does not have support for Linux or commodity hardware.

Some features are very basic and sometimes you can't add your own SQL query for custom reports. For Macs and Blackberry users this application is not helpful. Non-languages are not supported in info-graphics. They need to improve their forecast analysis. Report sharing is limited among the portal users only

Usability
The overall performance of this platform has been excellent. It is easy to work with the user interface. Creation of digital content and publishing on our social media platforms during marketing has been easy. Running our applications and upgrading our system to meet international standards has been successful. The user dashboard displays reports and performance of all departments effectively.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Jaspersoft Community Edition has not had any significant impact on our ROI as we have purchased the commercial edition of the product.
  • The only impact on ROI is that when we bring on new developers, he or she can begin work using the community edition while awaiting the installation of the commercial edition.
