BIRT / Jasper / Pentaho - Special Reports?

I am currently evaluating the main FOSS report generators. One of the features I'm looking for is the ability to manipulate the presentation of data when presenting a report in a browser:

  • Bring the results
  • Reorder Columns
  • Group Results
  • Filter data

The idea is to allow users to reproduce the results presented to them, without having to create a new report or modify a basic query. So:

  • Does any version of FOSS support such features? (I know some commercial versions, but at the moment this is not what I'm looking for)
  • If (# 1 == false), are there any third-party open source projects that provide such features?

I would like to receive answers regarding BIRT, JasperReport of Pentaho.

In fact. I did some similar research and could not find any software that runs these special reports. OpenReports used to be quite good, but it seems to be discontinued. What the Jasper and birt report servers offer (in the oss version) is rather a repository of report templates, as well as some planning / automatic reports. For special functions you need to get a paid version.

OpenReports have some ajax features in web reporting. I'm sure you can use JSF + Jasper Reports to create a dynamic web report.

BIRT BIRT Runtime, Tomcat.

However, as a web application, its functionality is not comparable with JasperReports Server.

Actuate , however, provides the BIRT flagship commercial reporting server.
