Hi Every body,

Here I have a question, I dont know about Jasper Reports, but I have to answer this question, if some one have any answer for this please let me know.

I repeat my question:
Why should we go for Cognos reports instead of Jasper Reports, though we have all the facilities in Jasper which are in Cognos, also Jasper is a Open source and Cognos is payable.

So please let me know if there is any strong reasion.

Thanks,
Venu.

Biggest difference between an open source application and cognos (or any other non-open source) application is that

24/7 support
guarantee of support through product life and subsequent upgrades
Technical support

Who would you call if an open source application (in production) crashes one fine day and will the open source vendor guarantee anything??!!
