Jaspersoft Reporting and Analytics for AWS

Jaspersoft 's main use case for me is to create customizable reports for the data that we need. As I work in the BFSI sector, specifically banking, whenever a client asks for a particular report based on their requirements, whether it is a statement report or details of accounts that are currently open or closed, we fetch that information in Jaspersoft  reports by configuring SQL or PL/SQL queries.

The main use case involves customizable reports, and even in existing reports, we can add fields accordingly based on requirements and configure them by updating the query. We then run Jaspersoft reports to check whether the data is coming properly before deploying it in production for the client.

For example, if I have an existing report that fetches account details of a particular account based on the date of opening, and the client initially needed records fetched at the end of each month, I can customize it to fetch data for every day instead by modifying the date criteria. This is how we perform customization in practice. For deployment, once compilation is successful, we deploy it to a specific path using the DevOps pipeline and move it to UAT. Once UAT testing is successful, we move it to production in the same manner.

Jaspersoft's best feature is that any developed report can be customized with no restriction, and based on permissions, any user can customize a particular report. Reports can be modified at any time by taking the JRXML and making changes, then executing that particular Jaspersoft report. If there is any error, it will be caught while executing or compiling, and based on that, the error can be resolved and deployed to production. Jaspersoft also suggests where the error is and how it can be resolved, as AI is integrated with it.

Beyond this, we can add an unlimited number of fields, and reports can be generated with an unlimited number of pages, which is not restricted to one or two pages. This is one of the best features that stands out when compared to other tools. Jaspersoft provides real-time data analytics and reporting features, which is also one of the best features, and it has impacted the organization very positively.

The only area for improvement is that initial implementation takes considerable time and is somewhat complex, requiring someone with specific knowledge to perform it. Apart from that, everything is satisfactory.

I have been working in this field for five years.

Jaspersoft is highly stable.

Jaspersoft is highly scalable.

Customer support is quite good, and I have received very positive feedback on it.

We did not use any solution earlier, but we are using alternate solutions alongside Jaspersoft. We are also using Power BI as well as Qlik Sense . We evaluated SAP Crystal Reports  before choosing Jaspersoft.

The initial setup cost is high as the implementation is complex, but the pricing is consistent with market standards, and the licensing cost is also consistent with market standards.

We have seen a return on investment as significant time was saved through automation, and it gradually reduced manual intervention during data fetching and publishing to the dashboard.

Jaspersoft is currently one of the market competitors, unlike Microsoft Power BI  and Tableau. Power BI can be used over mobile and can be installed and integrated with other platforms, and Jaspersoft also provides the same features. I do not think much improvement is needed in this area.

A lot of time is saved through the automation feature. We integrate Jaspersoft with data APIs from different platforms, including Salesforce  and other marketing platforms, and create reports based on timing. Once data enters a particular platform, it gets triggered every hour, the data gets updated, and based on that, the dashboard gets updated. This has reduced manual work and saved considerable time.

We purchased Jaspersoft through the AWS  marketplace. I would rate the overall experience in this review as a three out of five.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Jaspersoft for our reporting application. It helps with report generation and removed the need to develop our own reporting engine.

What do you like best about the product?

What I appreciate most about Jaspersoft is its impressive flexibility and scalability. The platform allows organizations to embed robust reporting and analytics capabilities directly into their own applications, which makes it a strong fit for both small teams and large enterprises. I also value its open architecture and the wide range of customization options available, since they let users tailor reports closely to their specific requirements. In addition, Jaspersoft handles complex data sources well and delivers consistently reliable performance, which makes it a dependable solution for supporting data-driven decision-making.

What do you dislike about the product?

One aspect I find challenging about Jaspersoft is the steep learning curve, especially for newcomers. Building complex reports can feel unintuitive at first, and the interface isn’t as user-friendly as some newer BI tools. In addition, performance can drop when working with very large datasets if reports aren’t properly optimized. Many advanced features also require a strong grasp of technical concepts such as SQL, Java, or server configuration, which can be tough for users without a technical background.

Jaspersoft solves the challenge of turning complex, scattered data into clear and actionable insights by providing flexible reporting and embedded analytics tools. It helps eliminate manual and time-consuming reporting processes, reduces dependence on IT teams, and makes data more accessible through interactive reports and dashboards. This benefits me by allowing faster access to accurate information, enabling me to create and customize reports independently, share insights easily with stakeholders, and make better, data-driven decisions more efficiently.
