Jaspersoft is the company behind the famous and widespread JasterReports, an Open Source reporting solution preferred by most developers to embed in any Java application that requires a reporting system.

Jaspersoft

Jaspersoft has built its own B.I. solution around its reporting engine. It has done it in a way different from Pentaho. Jasper has integrated into its existing projects also settled and established solutions but has not absorbed them. This strategy makes it "depend" of Talend in terms of ETL and Mondrian solutions- Pentaho for the OLAP engine. At this point I would like to remark the importance of the fact that both are Open Source solutions, but the dependence of a direct competitor, like Pentaho, continues to be a risk factor. This is not a problem given the nature of both Open Source projects. Jasper has Mondiran access code and can adapt and continue the developments of any part of Mondrian.

Pentaho was created in 2004 and at this moment, it is the leader of the Open Source BI solutions. It offers a large spectrum of resources, and using its own solutions, it is able to maintain and explore a BI project.

Pentaho has built its own BI solution by integrating different existing projects of recognized solvency. For example, Data Integration formerly known as Kettle, in fact maintains its old name as a colloquial name. Mondrian is the other component of Pentaho who is still retaining its own entity.
