Is JasperReports a replacement for Apache POI (M $) and iText (PDF)?

Question

In the past, I created Java business documents using reference libraries.

I have never used JasperReports, should I?

Does JasperReports make it easy to create PDF and Excel files with Java?

Jasper can be useful when your organization (or client):

It is not possible to provide more reliable solutions such as Crystal Reports (or Cognos, etc.).
Requires customizable / user-customizable custom reports that integrate very easily into an existing application (web-based or desktop-based): think about “built-in” solutions.
