Considered Both Products

Chose Roambi (discontinued)
It is very powerful in graphical presentation, is user-friendly, and has good connectivity but it is platform dependent. SAP Mobile BI mobile doesn't have any editing option which Roambi has on the mobile.
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
At this moment, we don't have any other alternative, but we don't want to change it.
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
At the time of evaluation, there really was nothing out there that could do what Roambi could by providing dashboard-style reports on an iPad. With HTML5, I know there are now several options out there, but I have not had an opportunity, or need, to evaluate them.
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
We know the Mobile BI capabilities from Cognos, SAP BusinessObjects, Microstrategy, and Qlik. It can be used as a mobile access bracket to multiple BI content.
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
We have compared Roambi against Business Objects, Reporting Services (on tablet) and Cubeware Cockpit. All those solutions lack in support of touch capabilities and responsiveness. Roambi "feels" just right. There is no training required and users love to explore the …
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
Qlikview better on desktop but not as good as Roambi on mobile
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
I found that compared to software such as QlikView and Tableau, learning to effectively use Roambi is much simpler as the other two have steep learning curves where Roambi does not. For the purposes I had defined for myself such as quick sharing and visualization of large …
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
Comparing the mobile capabilities of both products - as of course, Tibco Spotfire is a complete solution whereas Roambi focuses on mobility. While some would argue that the ten View (template) limitation of Roambi works in favor of competitors, we have found this to be untrue. …
Chose Roambi (discontinued)
I have also used Spotfire and QlikView. Of all three, Roambi is the easiest to use and quickest to deploy. Roambi is also one of the easiest to start turning your data into beautiful charts and dashboards. Spotfire is easy to use but requires more time to get used to - but …

Getting Roambi up to speed in your company certainly is a quick win. After just a few days, several of our reports were mobilized, interactive and automatically updated. Building Roambi reports is not hard to do; the intuitive interface allows virtually any type of user to create his or her own reports.

Pros
Discontinued Products
  • Report templates that are easy to learn, use, update and maintain.
  • Great looking reports that stay up-to-date with what Apple is producing. When Apple rolled out the new look and feel to their iOS7 release, Roambi created a brand new set of reports within two weeks to go along with the iOS7 changes.
  • Seamless integration with our existing BI environment, SAP Business Objects XI, 3.1. This drastically reduced the time from purchase to client-ready roll out from months to weeks.

I would definitely use Roambi again because of its ease-of-use, but its lack of customization ability makes it difficult to recommend to businesses as business needs are always changing. People are picky, and on the Roambi project, we were not able to fully live up to the customer's expectations, limited by Roambi's preset limitations.

VERY easy to use. Only limited by how the graphs and data is initially set up.

We have compared Roambi against Business Objects, Reporting Services (on tablet) and Cubeware Cockpit. All those solutions lack in support of touch capabilities and responsiveness. Roambi "feels" just right. There is no training required and users love to explore the application. Compared to Roambi all other solutions feel very technical and hard to understand.

  • Increased insights on customer success metrics (using a Layers report).
  • Higher motivation of employees, better communication towards employees, tighter bonds with the company - because of Roambi Flow. Periodic Flow magazines with analytic capabilities are sent out to the employees, as we value frequent and meaningful contact - both ways.
