Reviews
(1-4 of 4)Spotfire
- Spotfire has a great Geo Analytics platform where Geo-coding is automatically performed from version 6.0 and complex geoanalytics problems can be solved in combination with the Tibco Enterprise Runtime for R (TERR) engine, if the company has R language expertise
- Spotfire has some cool inbuilt functions available through which we do not have to do manual calculations like Total,%Cumulative Sum,YOY,MOM QOQ kind of stuff, and lots other functions which make life simpler
- Iron python scripting is an advantage but, of course, tricky initially if you do not have experience, but it can simplify users' lives if used properly
- Scheduled updates and caching. If we are trying to get the dashboards up in a flash , this feature is useful
- One more important thing in the latest version, is the business author piece on the web player where business users can develop their own stuff on Web, this is a good start and hope to see this developed further
- Spotfire is coming up with new Mobile Metrics platform, i.e. it is responsive on mobile devices
- Also there is a new KPI chart which can be very useful for Executive reporting.
- Customizability on the Analyst end: Spotfire is a good tool, but there are a few points where it should improve. I cannot hide an object like a tab or visualization r
- Data Load speed at the analyst level, I somehow feel when i try to load data in the analyst level it loads slow and while using at webplayer because of the schedule updates it runs fast. I know there is the caching concept, but it is unlike QlikView whichgives a great performance with the desktop version as well. I would expect the same to happen here

It offers different types of Charts, and also offers different layers to be overlaid on the map.We can overlay a Feature or marker layer.
For example
1.you want to show how the sales are in the US by state, you can overlay the Feature layer on the base Map.
2.Now you want to see all the costcenter offices in each state by lat long positions, you can see them in the Marker Layer, as each markers.
There is a lot of scope of taking these maps to the next level by using R functions too...
- Quickly build reports from large quantities of data and then publish those reports via the web player.
- Ability to work with data sets in different formats, i.e. data aggregation or SQL queries are not required.
- Out of the box analytics that makes it easy for business users to gain insights into their data.
- Ability to leverage R scripts in Spotfire.
- Easier functionality of Python scripts.
- Stability improvements are required, software has a tendency to crash.
- Easier optimisation of reports for the web player especially where large data sets are involved.
Well suited to enable business users to quickly build, change and enhance reports.

Insight into Spotfire
- Enables you to visualize and analyze data.
- Perform predictive analytics based on statiscal models.
- Interaction with the data which enables slicing & dicing of the data based on specific requirements which can be very fluid and change from hour to hour
- Share analyses with other team members, partners and vendors.
- Connect to disparate data sources for analysis.
- Run more interactive sessions/meetings without having to say, "I'll get back to you on that".
- It's an interactive visualization and BI tool, so if you are looking to generate static formatted reports or invoices then this is probably not the tool you need.
Spotfire v6.x - Great improvement to the Map Chart. Another big improvement is being able to move parts of analysis from one dxp to another, which saves you a lot of time and enables multi-user development.
Spotfire professional v5.5 has a new architecture and built-in support for statistical modeling. There is a huge improvement in performance and broader statistical support.
