How TIBCO Spotfire Differs From Its Competitors

Integrations with other TIBCO products

I have been using Spotfire with some of other TIBCO products too, like TIBCO Data Science and TIBCO Data Virtualization. These products are well supported by Spotfire and they come with native integration. For example, TDV needs no specific setup before starting with Spotfire as there is a native …

Cloud Benefits

TIBCO Spotfire Cloud Analyst approach is definitely something great for small and mid sized organizations. To start with any kind of on-premises setup, the organization spend a lot of time and money in achieving economies of scale. They make actual benefits only when they scale at large. However, …

Cloud Migration

Honestly, as an end user - there will not be much difference. For developers, only a slight changes were there to deal with. We migrated from on-premises structure to hybrid cloud and experience was not much different for usage and performance.
However, the real impact was on availability part. The …

TIBCO Investment Preservation

Yes, we were able to do so. Challenging part was adaptation of newer cost model.
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 …

Future Proofing

I would say, they were mostly there; not completely. When we adapt to the new structure, the costs do shoot up with usage at scale. Whatever we were saving on hardware, we ended up investing in services.
Functionality wise, Cloud delivered access and availability; but we had to sacrifice some …

Customer Feedback

Though there were lot of recommendations were taken up, but not the all required. For example, version for IronPython is still set to 2.7 which is based on Python 2 paradigm. This involves a learning curve for script developers. Need was to adopt a unified standard for all tech in bracket e.g. …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We have integrated TIBCO Spotfire with actions on a demo basis, which provides considerable flexibility on the ability to perform detailed database updates without leaving TIBCO Spotfire.

Cloud Benefits

The Tibco Spotfire cloud is beneficial for business users who need a lightweight solution to access various reports. It also helps to keep loading times relatively quick, even for those with slower connection speeds. There are some occasional performance issues with vague errors. The only reason I …

Cloud Migration

I did not participate in the initial deployment of any Tibco Cloud based solutions.

TIBCO Investment Preservation

I did not participate in the initial deployment of any Tibco Cloud based solutions.

Future Proofing

Tibco has continued to investment significantly into their cloud capabilities. I have found these solutions to diversify Spotfire's usage away from just the traditional analytics front and allow improved enterprise reporting for non-technical personnel. The lightweight client makes it easy to …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We also use TIBCO Data Virtualization, which gives us live links to our data.

Cloud Benefits

The cloud services have allowed me to use Spotfire from anywhere and access the associated data from anywhere.

Cloud Migration

This was a new deployment for us and the transition went smoothly. I just had to work on moving data sets over.

TIBCO Investment Preservation

Yes we have been able to migrate existing applications to the cloud. Once again, accessibility was the main driver for this, which has been achieved.

Customer Feedback

The times where I've provided feedback, they have usually mentioned that I was not the first to make a request for a specific feature. Usually those features are already in development and I see them in 6-12 months.

Breadth of Deployment

We have more than 800 users and user types mainly include Analysts who develop the dashboards, CIO Office, Metric Managers, and field executives.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We definitely evaluated few products , but the existing range of products what we had in our organization met our business needs and real reason to adopt another TIBCO product did not arise in our case.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We do not perform any integration with other similar products.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

No, we have not integrated TIBCO Spotfire with other software.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We have integrated it with the TIBCO Jasper report. As we need to generate a few reports that need to be put on scheduled deliveries so that people who take market decisions can have a better understanding and act accordingly. So it actually helped the organization to automate this whole process …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

No. TIBCO's other products are too inflexible for some of our needs and require dedicated support.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We use TIBCO Data Science (TDS) as well as Spotfire. But the integrated capabilities of Spotfire to run R data functions makes much of the capabilities of Data Science redundant. The TDS interface and output are not contemporary, although the power is obvious. Integration is possible but another …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We mainly integrate TIBCO Spotfire with our SQL servers. We have used TIBCO Spotfire to use our custom data services via TIBCO Spotfire calls and IronPython API. The feedback loop between data engineering and data analysis and visualization has been key to the success of Enverus. Then to quickly …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We did not make integration with any platform itself, all integration is done on backend using database tools. However, we did use some tools inside Spotfire to make our life easier. It wasn't so hard compared to other platforms and even with the Spotfire version update, that are quite often, we …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We have not specifically purchased any other add-on products to Spotfire. With that said, we are considering looking at Spotfire X. In addition, we are thinking of using Spotfire for more data wrangling, location analytics, real-time graphics, and real-time streaming of data. Of these, I think the …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We have integrated TIBCO Spotfire to TIBCO Cloud. This integration has been immensely helpful, as it has allowed my organization to access our data and information anywhere in the world and when they are out in the field.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

Automation services and statistics services. We strongly benefited from such integrations, since they gave us the opportunity of automating a lot of formerly manually-operated tasks, therefore reducing our operational costs and use of advanced R scripts in many reports accessed via a web player.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

Integrated with TIBCO Data Virtualization (TDV) and recently Data Science Workbench (DSW). TDV has been critical as the backbone to standardizing our data views and providing ready to use infolinks for users. Early days with DSW though our current expectations and early experience indicate this …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We use Tibco's Data Virtualization, Automation Services, and Statistical Services products. We've been trialing their Tibco Statistica product for advanced analytics and it works really well with Spotfire. When you mark/filter data in Spotfire, that dataset is feed into Statistica for one or more …

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We have integrated with several data warehouse and analytics backends, some of these include:

Amazon Redshift
Apache Hive
Apache Kafka
PostgreSQL
MS SQL
MySQL

This has been a huge benefit and we enjoy this capability to allow future system changes the ability to work with Spotfire on the fly.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

If our company used any of the other productions that TIBCO offered I was not aware of it.

Breadth of Deployment

TIBCO Spotfire is widely used in the company across all the domains and used by thousands of users.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

There are many advanced analytical work-flows that are used everyday that leverage the R language.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

My organization has info links that integrate into our enterprise system (SAP). There are other integration points, but we're not aware of any at this time.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We did not use Spotfire in association with other TIBCO products.

Integrations with other TIBCO products

We have not integrated with other TIBCO products. We are still a small company and do not have a great many automated processes.
