Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

Pros

  • Security : Here we can design the row level security based on the user who logs into the system. even row level security can be build for huge data set(millions of records), By keeping actual data-table in cache we can bring live data for security table and applying restriction on already cached data(no waiting time)
  • Using HTML & J-Script
  • Using of Python script: All the property can be controlled thru Python scripting. with single click event we can in-work python scripts which execute dynamically.

Cons

  • Doesn't support cube/Hyperion data source directly.
  • In-DB connection are not flexible, wont support embedding or adding calculated columns.
Compared with Tableau, Spotfire is more stable with huge data sets.
Spotfire is overall stable and provides reliable visualization. More can be explored using R predictive language.
