Robust system consistently elevates data visualization and seamlessly updates with user-driven advancements

Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators. It allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience. I create improvement dashboards for task forces and work teams. I have built analytic dashboards that guide analytics, enabling research and dataset manipulation.

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

"Very intuitive and easy to use."

"The good part of it is that you can do whatever you want with it when it comes to building BI. In terms of languages, it supports Python, and it also natively supports R."

"It is more user-friendly compared to SSRS."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs."

"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."

"The visualization part and its inclusion in a cloud-based application are valuable features."

"The fact that you can visualize items is great."

More Microsoft Power BI 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."

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

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

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

"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The mobile app is very poor."

"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."

"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."

"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."

"The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools."

"SSMS & SSRS."

"The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files."

"I have a little problem with Synapse Analytics because it's very new. It's a product that has many capabilities, but it is not very well developed. I have to see the list of permissions from one object. I can't do this in Synapse. I have to search on the web for a solution because I don't have the tool for it."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

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

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

"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."

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

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."

"Compared to others, I think it is reasonable."

"No comment on pricing."

"Globally, we evaluated a number of products, including Salesforce's product, Microsoft won on the ground of simple functionally and cost."

"The only other cost, besides the licensing fee, would be to cover support."

"It is somewhere in the middle in terms of price. Licensing is quite clear."

"Power BI is subscription-based, and you have three options. The Pro edition, which is the standard one, is about $9 per user. The Premium edition, which provides AI and cloud capabilities but at a limited size, is for small to medium enterprises. It is about $20 per user. For large enterprises, such as manufacturing facilities, there is an option for the capacity. The capacity subscription is about $4,000 per capacity level. They also have an option for the on-premises version, but it is not common to see someone going for the on-premises version. The on-premises version requires a specific license that is attached to SQL Server. I believe it is about $17,000, but I'm not sure about it."

"I used a two months free trial to see if it had what I needed."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

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

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