Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire Streaming

Spotfire Streaming at my organization is used to get real time data instead of relying on a job to run every few hours. Our sales data sync needs to be done dynamically to showcase to the Leadership Team hence using the tool gives us the best output. We also have it integrated with other Spotfire tools to visualize whats coming in

Pros

  • It shares data across our visualization suite in real time
  • Manage to keep even the biggest data sets up to date
  • It has the push based approach for the data updates so we always see the latest data without manually refreshing

Cons

  • Being a niche tool, there's not much community support
  • It is on prem, making it slow to boot. not cloud native (It could be that it is our org's issue)
  • The dev environment is very tough to understand for large projects due to the wire style UI/UX
  • It is being used as a visualization tool, finding out the ROI directly is a bit challenging
  • Using a CRM tool instead might work better in a sales use case (with it also having live data)
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
We looked at these two, Apama uses it's own languages, meaning more devs to be hired.
SAS integrates with the SAS ecosystem, we were already using Tibco

Do you think Spotfire Streaming delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Spotfire Streaming's feature set?

Yes

Did Spotfire Streaming live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Spotfire Streaming go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Spotfire Streaming again?

No

It is well suited for any dynamic needs, but for most use cases, especially in sales we don't need real-time dynamic data. It is only since it gets well integrated with our visualization tool. Especially with the drawbacks of not using a more "open-source" tool for which you can find help online.
