Available for free and can help businesses resolve their data migration problems

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. Google Data Studio is a cloud-based tool. With cloud-based tools, there can be two challenges, the first one being associated with the bandwidth of your data strength. If I run a report from my home because of the wi-fi connection, it may give an excellent response. When I run the reports, Google Data Studio develops reports from my home, and because of wi-fi, it works in an excellent manner. When I am on the road or at the wheel, if I use the internet data from my mobile to browse my reports, the performance may not be good, and this issue is not because of the product but because of the bandwidth. The second issue arises when you connect Google Data Studio to a source system to extract the data to do the visualization. If the source system is not responding as quickly as expected, it could be the reason why the report may be printed slowly. Considering the aforementioned aspects, the problem may not be because of Google Data Studio but because of the source system.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity

TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, we'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves."

"I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility."

"The best thing about the tool is that it allows you to share information easily and dashboards with colleagues and teammates because it's all online. No matter where you are, as long as you have the Internet, you can connect and use these dashboards. Google made good documentation for this tool. There are many examples of how to use and create dashboards and videos on YouTube. So, I think it's easy to learn."

"I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts."

"Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation."

"The integration with Excel and Google Sheets is a valuable feature, making it easy to access and visualize data."

"The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources."

"The ability to design complex data models and equations."

More Looker Studio pros

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."

"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"We can set any property dynamically."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements."

"There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size."

"The tool should improve on live data integration for quicker data reflection."

"Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs."

"The tool has a lot of room for improvement. It's not very professional and allows for only simple tasks like indicating KPIs or quick calculations. It lacks a good calculation-based language like Power BI's DAX, making it less suitable for professional use. Additionally, the variety of visualization tools is limited, and customization options are restricted."

"The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI."

"It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool."

"There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos."

More Looker Studio cons

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available for free."

"The cost is quite affordable based on feature analysis."

"The solution is free but the Google Looker is expensive."

"I think the tool is cheap because you don't need to pay anything for using the tool. However, when connecting and analyzing other data sources, you should consider where to analyze this information because Google Data Studio doesn't handle much data well. You must also consider how you will connect this data to it. In this case, you might need to hire DevOps or a data team to help with these issues."

"The tool is free."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
