An Always-On way to keep an eye on your Data
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Pros
- Excellent report-building tool, particularly for data sets/sources that contain more than the Excel-maximum 1.05 million rows per sheet.
- Very simple to make calculations to data, either through predefined aggregation methods or through custom expressions.
- Visually appealing GUI, designed with end-users in mind.
- Provides a transition from Ad-Hoc-request-based data reporting to more "always on" real-time data tracking.
- Able to import data from a variety of sources, from spreadsheet files to preexisting databases.
- Details-on-Demand make it simple to drill-down to the raw data behind the visualization.
Cons
- Very difficult to remove mistakes or inconsistencies in data from calculations.
- If user has no previous experience with similar software, the learning curve is at least a month.
- Lack of an automatic Save feature is problematic in case the software crashes.
