Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire
We use Spotfire for dashboarding, data visualization and scripting for statistical and predictive modeling. Most of our departments use it from operations, production, safety, to finance and corporate. We find a lot of value in the customization and development options of Spotfire and the TERR engine. The business problems being addressed via Spotfire range from the improvement in speed and accuracy in production forecast models to the variance reconciliation of realized and recognized cost models.
- Data assimilation and aggregation
- Data Visualization Style Offerings
- Continuous version improvements
- Unreasonably high priced TERR scripts; Need more templates with TERR scripts (forecasting, statistical scipts, etc.) and IronPython styling examples templates that are more reasonablly priced.
- Would like the ability to map and save colors to particular data values across all visualizations.
- Would like chronological movie play functionality to view chronological flows on map charts.
- Would like more customized oilfield chart offerings like for example, 3D surfacing, geological logs, lithological facies clustering charts, tree diagrams, cross sectioning functionality, etc.
- Tableau Desktop, SAP Business Objects, Statistica and Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management
Ease of use, easy to learn, fully functional out of the box, cost acceptable.
