Insightful Manufacturing Process Interogation
Spotfire is great at visualizing very large data sets. With hundreds or thousands of process inputs and outputs you can easily see correlation / causation when one part of the manufacturing process changes and the effect it has on others.
It is also easy to build dashboards to easily convey results to people with less statistically robust backgrounds.
Overall, Spotfire is an essential tool that allows for interrogating manufacturing issues and resolving them quickly with minimal effort.
- Trend charts for QC metrics that can rapidly be filtered by process inputs
- Yield reporting trends and grouping by process inputs
- Dashboards for statistical analysis of process inputs as compared to historical performance
- I would love to see a native Pareto chart visualization
- Have an way to default a "profile" setting. For example coloring on visualizations Pass/Good should be green and Fail/Bad should be red

Spotfire is a powerful Visualization Tool.
We Spotfire in our Marketing Tech Dashboard. We build dashboards to help users understand data and come up with insights. Insights that help them take actions to help company manage their revenue and manage the churn. The Spotfire is very powerful tool especially it's ability to use simple scripting to be able to use complicated calculations like forecast, rate difference, % of Total, running % changes, etc.
- Matrix Table or CrossTable
- Scripting to build some complicated calculations
- User Friendly Visualizations configurations
- The donut chart is I guess a powerful illustrations but I hope it should be done quite simple in Spotfire. But in Spotfire there are lots of steps involve just to build a simple donut chart.
- Table calculation (like Row or Column Differences) should be made simple or there should be drag and drop function for Table Calculation. No need for scripting.
- Information Link should be changed. If new columns are added to the table just refreshing the data should be able to capture the new column. No need extra step to add column

Spotifire is spot-on!
Spotfire is an excellent tool for yield analysis, engineering verification, and design of experiments. Every user has the option to customize the layout and tasks performed by this versatile tool. Large amounts of data is efficiently managed and can be displayed quickly in many different forms. Spotfire also is growing in terms of MODS available and scripts that are found from the robust online community.
- Efficiently pulls large data
- Versatile tool that is easily customizable
- Easy to learn
- The Iron Python scripting feels very limited
- Better modeling tools to help with analysis
- The annotation is too limited
- Would love to see a method to sample the data, such as every x number of lines.

Very good with visualizations
I use Spotfire in my organization by creating visualizations for our data. I also create tables that are able to be queried without much user difficulty. Spotfire addresses the business problems mentioned. Other platforms do not provide the connectivity, flexibility, and options that Spotfire provides. It also allows for data from multiple different sources to join, modify, etc.
- combine data from multiple sources
- user friendly controls
- various ways to manipulate data
- process to store passwords for data could be easier
- preview for data transformation steps does not work well (or at all at times)
- Messages for information link errors could point out problems better

Spotfire - Make you data analysis easier
As an engineer I work with millions and millions of rows of data which can be very intimidationg. With the help of Spotfire I am easily able to arrange this data within visualizations that help me understand it and draw conclusions. It is also very easy to switch between the visualizations to facilitate quick learning. The scope of my use case is daily usage with auto updated data within the tool.
- Visaulization Sugggestion
- Ability to set many filters
- Great way to collaborate with
- Documentation can be more helpful
- Add custom property controls when importing data
- Can be very slow as size of data grows

Powerful BI Platform, but Requires IT Support
Spotfire is used to conduct exploratory data analysis and advanced analytics. It allows us to visualize large sets of data easily with a significant speed advantage over some of its competitors (e.g. Power BI & Tableau). This tool is used across the organization by our analysts to support various organizational reporting needs.
- Spotfire is a powerful BI Platform
- Spotfire can easily perform data operations (ETL) within the platform and leverage existing code from R and Python
- the suite of visualization options is extensive
- Spotfire requires IT support for implementation
- Spotfire requires IT support for ongoing maintenance
- The tool navigation can be difficult to navigate

Entry level user
We would like to use Spotfire in our Research Centre at the Hospital for a quick visualization and analysis of the data for projects which do not need the development of ad hoc methods, to be used by users without a computational background. The results were okay, although you always need to take into account the cost related to changing a workflow from what people are used to. In particular, those without a technical background were thrilled to be able to run simple analyses without having to learn how to code. A couple of years later, we decided to use Spotfire to show results to collaborators
- Ease of use
- Visualization
- Communication
- Generating figures
- Handling of samples. We would have liked something closer to a laboratory information management system, where samples could be tracked before sequencing. Even tracking the position of a vial in a fridge/rack would be useful for us.
- Documentation

Spotfire: great to use, easy to learn. Luckely, because the trainings are of poor quality
we are using Spotfire as our main reporting tool. Previously we used Business Objects, but we don’t use it anymore. With Spotfire we make daily reports about our production results, OEE, etc. Also we use Spotfire-dashboards for management. We are using it through the whole organization from CEO to Teamleader.
- The drill down of data works very well. No static reports anymore, but fancy reports, from which you can check the details (by the drill down).
- the relations which can be found in the data can be very helpful.
- I find it very useful that we can make one report with several datasources underneath. (I'm used to Business Objects, you couldn't do that very easy in that too.)
- You can make a basic report with different tabs in it, f.e. For stock and use this report as a ‘linked report’ in several other reports. So you keep your maintenance low.
- We use often the possibility of using one report for several kind of users. = one view!
- Spotfire reports are very ‘visual’, you can see, in one view where the deviations are.
- The courses aren't good. No documentation and I think it's called 'robotcourses'. You get to know what you can do with Spotfire (how to click), but principles, pros and cons aren't explained.
- Spotfire could pay more attention to the dataset, how it's best organized to get the best results from your reports.
- It would be helpful if the course could be held in Dutch.

getting insight to make decisions
In R&D we have different departments, and we use Spotfire for our studies in the electronic Trial Master file (eTMF) department to see the cleanliness and completeness of eTMFs. We also use it to measure progress towards KPIs and targets, and to prioritize actions.
- It's very easy to filter data you want, and what you want to see
- Lot of visualization options
- It's very fast
- enabling various scripts like Python etc should be a built-in feature of Spotfire

Spotfire - data visualization made better
Spotfire is currently being used for real-time tracking. Like other software, Spotfire is more for visualizations. At the same time those visualizations help us in picking out only related data. Currently, it is being used to address supply chain problems that most industries face - assisting them with inventory management and logistics
- Interface has everything you need to create your desired visualization
- Upon selecting specific parts of the visualization you get to see which data is responsible for the visuals
- You can add multiple visuals on one page
- Concise story telling software
- For writing a script an additional software is required

Spotfire competitive data visualization tool
We use Spotfire as data visualization tool for displaying current status of our production line. With Spotfire it enable us to create dashboards with ease as it's user interface is easy to understand specialty the new version. Another thing with solve with spotfire is easy to create custom visualization and custom ui functionality using JavaScript. Another thing I like with spotfire is you can change your chart properties on the fly using iron python.
- Custom visual
- Data Extraction
- Report Deployment
- Data source type mixing
- Need more improvement for creating formulas
- Easier custom script integration
- Easy data import

Spotfire
Spotfire is being used as an Enterprise level Business Intelligence Platform.Our data is being fed from various different ERP's and a ETL team is transforming the data in a way it can be consumed by spotfire. During the design phase the spotfire and ETL teams come together and create a model where certain things will be handled in spotfire and most of them in the warehouse. Spotfire is a very robust tool, pulling lots of data with less columns ,makes no harm and gives ideal results.
- 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

Spotfire is Great
We use Spotfire mainly to display data in the form of dashboards. It is used by us to make decisions on plan changes by advising whether new production plans are realistic and in line with past performance. Various inputs can be quickly changed if the production plan isn’t realistic and then a new review of the dashboard occurs. Having unrealistic plans causes waste in the supply chain.
- Easy to create new dashboards
- Display data in an easy to digest form
- Ability to change views on the fly
- Initial Load time is slow
- Graphs aren’t always visually appealing
- More options for input data sources

Flash up data visualization and interpretation with Spotfire
Our organization is always trying to understand our clients and serve them in the best possible way. So to achieve so we need to perform regular analysis and keep track of the business. And since this needs to be done on enterprise-level under the legitimate procedure, a lot of data need to be processed, analyzed and then processed data need to be converted into visual and easy depictions for various dashboards. So to achieve a solution for the motioned problem we have deployed the Spotfire in the place. And it's actually working above the expectations from the individual. We are having a variety of dashboards from where we are able to analyze and forecast the views to customers/clients and it's helping them to run their business efficiently and smoothly, which directly and indirectly helps my organization to get trust and obviously a lot of engagements from the client and we are very happy at our end to attract and satisfy them.
- Data analysis and in-depth visualization
- Generation of graphs and other visuals after analysis are quite great and efficient
- Its support for mobile device is quite great which enables anywhere anytime access
- Great support for dashboards which is quite promising and a prominent part in the analysis
- Best part which makes it even more better is it supports the expression language
- The UI is not flexible in terms of usage. So customization option should be provided so a user can set up as per requirements
- Few features seem to be not stable for example the text editor changes the code layout on its own, so we get different things that we have saved.
- Absorbing and consolidating data from a numerous different provider regions is very difficult to handle and as well as very slow to analyze as it takes a lot of time for visualization
