How Do the Top Open Source Reporting Tools Stack Up?
Enterprises that are new to open source software often get started with databases, web and application servers, and scripting languages, but open source reporting tools have become increasingly popular in the enterprise over the past few years. Applications like Jasper, Pentaho, and BIRT are now widely used by enterprises, and each comes with unique strengths and weaknesses.
As part of our ongoing series of technical webinars, OpenLogic is hosting a webinar on August 12 entitled, “A Comparison of Open Source Reporting Tools for the Enterprise.” Rod Cope, Founder and CTO of OpenLogic, will provide an in-depth comparison across over 15 key attributes for the most popular open source reporting tools, including:
- How do the top reporting tools compare in terms of overall functionality?
- What are the differences in web UI and ease of use?
- Which security features are included with each reporting tool?
- What are the deployment options?
Whether you’re new to open source reporting tools or want a refresher on some of the latest features, please be sure to join us on August 12 at 11:00 Pacific / 2:00 Eastern.
Also, we’re currently working on the schedule for future technical webinars, so if you’d like to suggest a topic please leave a comment or send me an email.



I am starting to need a centralized reporting tool. Right now we have too many reports scatter across text files, emails, and excel. We will probably be looking at an open source solution or build our own. Any recommendations?
