Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
- R engine for Predictive modeling is Fantastic.
- Ability to use HTML and Java Script to make dashboard like a true webpage.
- Ability to use Java scrip to build custom visualization like Speedometer.
- Over functions to Slice and Dice Data are very Efficient, Calculations columns are easy to understand and use.
- Ability to have Text area, [for example] floating text area within visualizations.
- A GUI for creating joins between tables would be good add on.
- Ability to change joins on the fly.
- Tableau and OBIEE
Spotfire is good for Engineering apps, but not a good tool when doing financial data. Spotfire was selected because my company uses more engineering tools for reporting.
- Online training
- Self-taught
No, some form of learning needs to be done before starting to build out dashboards. I would recommend the Spotfire boot camp session to start with.
