How about i-net Clear Reports  used to be i-net Crystal-Clear    Though not free  you should also consider this low-cost  non-free  non-open-source reporting solution that can fully compete with Crystal Reports - and is Java-based   I think it s even more cost efficient than  free ones   A small company may have to think closely about free things  but will then have to invest into manpower to find out how everything works and so on  Large companies will for sure subscribe to premium support services that cost a lot  See this article for reference  i-net Clear Reports has a very low price tag with great support for free and even better premium support via yearly subscriptions   Disclosure  Yeah  I work for the company who built this  so I m biased  But I honestly believe in what I just wrote

So far based on my research JasperSoft has turned out promising open source reporting tool    Matter of fact I am currently working on a huge project wherein I have started converting and building reports using JasperReports iReports        Every reporting tool has its own learning curve   The support group from and for Jasper and the quality of response that I have gotten so far is good   Again at the end of the day it all comes down to what your business   organization needs
