Re: jasperReports Server vs ReportServer

Hi hmdshariati,

Jasper is great for pixel sharp reporting but not for ad hoc list reporting nor for cubes. Ever tried a crosstab in jasper ? We needed a plattform that integrates several good open source BI Solutions like Eclipse BIRT, Mondriaon, jxls, ... which all have there strenghts and weeknesses.

Jasper server comes at with high costs and limited functionality that did not suffice our needs.
