Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

It is being used in all departments of the company. I have gathered all our back end data through SQL in a central facility with Spotfire. We have everything from our accounting, land, operations, production, geology, asset, & reservoir [data in the system].
  • Automation of live data is very quick.
  • Easy to get used to.
  • Many ways to manipulate the data.
  • Some limitations on several visualizations that cannot be done with Spotfire.
  • Can create charts in Excel that cannot be replicated in Spotfire at this time.
  • Speed and efficiency with large data-sets is somewhat lacking.
Similar product & price point. I didn't want to make the change due to comfort level already established with Spotfire.
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
Training was pretty perceptive across the board. There were a few things I wish was better suited for our industry and not quite as vague.
Like any software there is a slight learning curve with the model. Once you understand how the data is loaded, visualizations are created, and calculations are formatted the rest is easy. It seems like I stumble upon something new every day due to collaboration with other users outside our company, etc.
It is well suited for oil & gas. I've used Spotfire in the last 4 companies I've worked for in O&G. It isn't necessary when dealing with simple/quick charts.
