(1-3 of 3)Powerful, Efficient and Customizable Data Analytcs
- Innovation
- Availability of trending technology
- Integrations with Data Science Platforms
- Easy to use
- Complete control over different components
- They should introduce Python native visualizations
- Learning Materials for basic and Intermediate level should be made free. This helps to attract and onboard new users.
- Jupyter integration will be a great improvement.
- There should be approach available for parallel development. For Example, Two person should be able to edit and save same dashboard if they are working with different components.

- It is costly, so not suitable for small scale implementations.
- Dashboards are as good as the developer, so need experience to get most out of it
- You need to be on Spotfire 11 at least to implement out of the box visualizations
- Integration with Python and R is a game changer, it comes very handy to onboard data scientists without much hassle
- performance is exceptionally well.
- Secure
- Online Training
- In-Person Training
Also, Spotfire training helped to save a lot development time by demonstrating the shortcuts present in system. I was able to understand some nice features like in-built predictive algorithms, classification and clustering approaches etc.
Adding to it, Spotfire integrates the Python and TERR engines very effectively to implement out of the box solutions seamlessly. Unlike Power BI and Tableau ; you don't need any separate Python/R instance configured to play with these Data Science technologies.
it is more like a Visual Data Science Platform.
However, the real impact was on availability part. The platform availability was a challenging task in old setup as taking care of usage, optimization of load and uptime is costlier to run. Cloud is very flexible and always available to serve.
In on-premises approach, we needed to incur a heavy investment in initial phase of establishment only and needed to spend time to achieve economies . Also, the operations was difficult because regardless of analysis is being used or not, we are investing resources into it.
With cloud structure, the charges do increase with usage. So idle resources do contribute to a very little impact. Though there are challenges for some services like Scheduled update are still in force, but overall we are in win-win situation.
Functionality wise, Cloud delivered access and availability; but we had to sacrifice some features too. For example, in Cloud Analyst - we cannot run most of the scripts.
- Low cost to start
- High Availability
- Ease to develop analytics solution
There are lot of requests on customization side are still long awaited.
- Data Democracy - Freedom to select the view of data with no code
- Python Data Function for Out of the Box implementations
- Chatbots in Spotfire
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Prior Experience with the Product
In short, while considering cost; consider cost over the time rather than cost at the time.
