Spotfire is Spot-On for Data Analysis
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Pros
- I particularly enjoy how Spotfire enables us to triage any problems fairly quickly. We can directly connect to a database, pull in a subset of data, and then quickly create visualizations to make judgments on problem severity. For example: we can grab server response data, create a bar chart and then quickly add standard deviation and average lines to the bar chart.
Cons
- This could just be a problem of the (fairly old) version of Spotfire we're using, but being able to directly control database chunksize would be great. The desktop client seems fairly chatty, so you really feel the network latency when you are doing a direct connection with a database across the country.

Evaluating TIBCO Spotfire and Competitors
Excel
TIBCO Spotfire Implementation
- Implemented in-house
TIBCO Spotfire Training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
I think some initial training is needed to use the product if there is nobody in your company that knows how to use it.
If there are ready examples to work with, then I would recommend playing with the examples and have the training sessions be question/scenario driven.

Yes - I didn't make that decision, but I'm glad we do have that support. We've made use of it.
