iReports

What do you like best?

I have used the iReport for 2 yrs. It's made the life of a developer so easy. By using this, we need to do only drag and drop. If we require to add any elements (like text field, lines), it can be easily added by dragging and dropping.A new developer can easily start working without having much knowledge about code.

What do you dislike?

Some elements(like hyperlinked text field, HTML Component) of Jasper report is not present in report.It is very difficult to add new fonts in report. The options present in iReport to fonts are very confusing.If we have used a font for import, and after that we have deleted it for some reason then we can't import same font again.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Due to iReport, we don't need to bother about the syntax of elements for Jasper Report.We don't require any technical knowledge to design a basic Jasper Report.You can get the sample pdf while designing the report.
