Quick deployment and good analytics!
As my company has written a mobile application for social networking, we were in need of a utility to provide analytics against our database. Jaspersoft was at the top of the list of options and we were able to do a 3 day pilot. After that we decided to move forward with using Jaspersoft. As we are already users of AWS, it was a natural fit. And, as a bonus, since we only need ad-hoc analytics we can power up this instance on an as-needed basis to only be charged for the uptime. I've found that the interface is fairly intuitive and the community forums have been very helpful. I would like a little more documentation on the DOMEL implementation, though at times it has been a little difficult to make it do exactly what I want (though perhaps that just means I need to devote more time to it). Since there isn't a 4.5 star option, I would have to go with 4 stars due to some lapse in the DOMEL documentation on how to specifically do certain tasks. That's the only "problem" I have run into.

Easiest Cloud BI solution so far by our standards
Jasper on Cloud is really easy to migrate from your existing enterprise setup and will not take more than a day max for very large scale implementations.
Data and report migration will take your time based on the volume and complexity (read customization).
Greenfield implementation takes not more than a day of planning and subsequently few hours of setup.
Tech support is friendly and responsive as well if opt to take additional help.
There is a wide variety of hosted DB solutions to be integrated seamlessly.
Provisioning is very easy with background know-how of AWS in general and is limited to matter of few clicks.
Comes with the benefit of a mobile BI app (compatible with both iOS and Android)
Our take: A must for enterprise-BI in SMB segment ! And good for competing against any in-house large scale enterprise BI installation for large scale business.
Easier to get started and start creating reports but bit slower on report loading
Easier to get started and start creating reports compared other tools we tried. Could start creating reports with out need to download any more software.
Bit slower reports loading side, but we are happy with jaspersoft response and hopefully performance issues get resolved in next release, v5.6.
Great features with almost professional Edition + Cost Effective
Jaspersoft is an excellent BI system that provides maximum features available in AWS on a low service cost. Easy to install & configure.It connects to AWS REDShift . It is a great experience. "Jaspersoft Dataintegration" features in AWS would have made it more tightly coupled.so i go 1 down in star.
Excellent way to jump start full-featured reporting
I compared many reporting options for our application, which is based on the Java application stack. With Jaspersoft for AWS, we were able to quickly establish a reporting and analysis environment, much quicker than any other option and without involving a limited trial or big $$$ outlay.
Using the included iReports Professional license, we can develop reports locally (on Windows or OSX), and then deploy to the server. We are able to define our data sources in the server (data sources that reside outside of the AWS environment). We also created our own roles to limit visibility of various items in the repository.
We also are using domains to set up ad-hoc reporting based on data sources that we define. It's pretty powerful; a domain data source can actually encompass multiple "real" data sources, joins, calculated fields, etc..
All in all, it's been a great experience. I leave off 1 star only because sometimes it's difficult to get answers in the community forum, but hopefully this will improve as the AWS product matures.
