Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Taking data from various sources including files, databases, web services, applying some complex rules, transforming, aggregating and producing a result.

Usability	No answers on this topic	The usability is good in terms that it gets well integrated with the Spotfire suite but the only few issues I have is the tough UI/UX (learning curve, if the project is huge) and unable to find many users and devs to help with the queries. At the end it is solely based on the documentation provided which is never enough Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
