Its clunky to use and requires a lot of overhead for simple reports. Too inflexible and too much maintenance required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is so difficult to work with that you need to be a developer in order to get started with Jaspersoft Studio. This came as the preferred reporting software from our core banking software and has caused nothing but heartache and pain since we started using it in December of 2019. I'm no stranger to using SQL and using data visualization software, but this is so user-unfriendly it is something that cannot be picked up by a novice. It is hard to get started with it and then trying to import a finished report adds even more complexity. Do yourself a favor and find something else to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jaspersoft provides our users with a very robust adhoc reporting engine. It has been the #1 requested feature by our clients. Our users demand control over their data and reporting resources. With Jaspersoft they are able to have the level of control they desire. Jaspersoft has a slight learning curve, but the documentation available is very robust. Nearly every question I've had, I was able to answer within minutes by simply reading the documentation. The guides are clear, concise and go into a level of detail that surpasses any other reporting solution I've tested. The Jaspersoft support team is amazing. I've had a few issues during the single-sign-on integration within our environment. All of my support questions have been answered, and all done so in a very timely manner. Every case I've opened has been initially addressed within minutes of me creating request and all have been followed through to 100% satisfaction. JasperStudio 5.5, with the integration into Eclipse, has received very positive feedback from my team. The report development environments have evolved significantly over the last year and the changes have definitely been for the best.

The breadth of features and functionality, Ease of access to a vast community of users for support. The key factor after comparing features and functionality was price. The Jaspersoft suite is hands down the best value bay a large margin..
Jaspersoft's suite of report writing, report distribution and ETL have provided my clients with a solution that is both easy to use and powerful, allowing for rapid deployment of basic reports and extensive flexibility for advanced configuration, Data Warehouse development and reports and OLAP analysis. The iReport report writer allows both graphical report design and development and direct code writing allowing me to quickly train users on how to graphically design and build reports using the drag and drop user interface and rapidly develop custom components. The breadth of report development features is massive including; Drill down report links, sub-reports, built in extensible graphs and maps of all kinds, a vast array of data sources, easy passing of variables from and to sub-reports, adding custom code to components using Java, custom style development and assignment. iReport is internally integrated with Jasperserver allowing easy report deployment to the enterprise report and analysis portal. The Mondrian OLAP Work Bench is a fantastic tool for designing and deploying OLAP cubes for online analysis. The graphical UI is easy to use and allows for advance configuration of Cubes and their components. With a built in MDX designer, Cube design and query result can be tested in one place. Cubes and queries can be directly uploaded to the Jasperserver portal which provides a visually attractive and feature rich Analysis View feature for OLAP analysis. Analysis Views on the report server can be drilled to from reports designed in iReport providing a very powerful view of information The JasperETL tool, which is based on the Talend* ETL suite, is so powerful that we use it both for Data Warehouse population but also for Enterprise Application Integration projects as well. From basic JDBC data pulls to transactional data layers, to complex transformation to Data Marts and FACT Tables this tool does it all. We have successfully deployed ETL projects that pull and combine data from MSSQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Flat File, Web Services, LDAP, Spreadsheets,MDM and REGEX files to produce rich and effective reporting Data Marts and Topics. I cannot say enough about this suite and it's power and flexibility. Jasperserver is the web-app based reporting portal that acts as the hub of the Jaspersoft reporting suite. The server is easily integrated with your LDAP enabled directory services and can quickly be configured for SSL or be placed behind your Apache HTTP server. Reports and OLAP Analysis developed using iReport or OLAP Workbench can be uploaded directly to the server. The server provides for iReport Reports, Mondrian OLAP analysis Views as well as views on any Cube that is XML/A enabled, Ad-hoc reports, Static Content Deployment (PDF, XLSX, DOCX, HTML and much more). In addition powerful Dashboards that combine multiple reports can easily be created using the GUI provided in the Jasperserver portal. Access can be controlled through users and groups which can be directly integrated into your corporate Directory Services (Active Directory, OpenLDAP, etc) and data can be filtered within reports based on those assignments. The server can be extended into clusters for large enterprise deployments. The portal can be customized extensively from basic styling and branding to full JSP/Spring development of new pages and functionality. This is hands down the best report server I have worked with. Jaspersoft has moved to Jaspersoft Studio as it's preferred report writer and will be the only report writer supported fro new features. Bug fixes and technical support for iReport will be supported through 12/31/2015. Built on top of the popular Eclipse Integrated Development Environment, Jaspersoft Studio delivers a sophisticated graphical reporting experience with extensible component configuration for advanced report development. Features include: Visual drag and drop designer for rapid report development Easy access to Report Elements and Tools within report designer Large inventory of Report Elements and Tools for rapid development of visually rich reports Complete set of charts for dynamic visual presentation of reporting data Integrated preview allows viewing report results as you design Built-in Expression Editor with Syntax Highlighter Easy Access Data Explorer Extensible for Custom Report Plug-ins Dynamic and Cascading Report Parameters Vast array of configurable Data Sources Extensible properties for exporting formatting and formulas to Excel Extensible properties for exporting PDF formatting Develop your own styles for consistent look and feel across all reporting elements Version control to GIT,SVN and more Export to PDF, HTML, XHTML, XLS, RTF, DOCX, Text, CSV, OpenOffice, XML, PNG Full integration with Jasperserver including publishing, server explorer and resource editing

Jaspersoft seriously needs some quality control on their products. An "Enterprise" application should not be so buggy. I often feel like we are their beta-testers rather than paying customers. It is extremely embarrassing when my customers attempt to run a report and end up with a Java error stack on their screen instead. While Jaspersoft has made improvements in catching certain errors and providing an "oops" screen, we still see Java error dumps on a regular basis. Jaspersoft's technical support has been little help for anything other than the most basic of issues. Most problems are instantly categorized as "Defect/Enhancement submitted" with no solution offered.

It seems pretty much on target.
It tends to be really slow. Even when I am using sample data. In ad hoc views, it loads all distinct choices in the drop down. Sometimes, when that field could have a million distinct values, it crashes the server (or at least freezes it up to the point that I have to restart it). I rarely get bugs fixed or issues resolved through support.

Dashboards in Jaspersoft severly lagging behind flexibility of Kibana.
Sometimes the software (from an engineering PoV) feels "patched" together and not consistent. Huge complexity, for users and developers. Dashboard features very expensive (almost impossible) to customize.

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.

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.
