Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire
Spotfire is used by multiple departments, primarily to display reports about production and drilling data. Many of the reports and charts are it provides are visible on the company's intranet.
- Handles working with large amounts of data. I access a relative small database with about 5000 records. I have to chart multiple features of the data and use Spotfire together with Access to accomplish this.
- Filter and groups data. Grouping and filtering data in charts on the fly helps make sense of data.
- Easy to update data.
- I have yet to get into using vba and programming with Spotfire. My company is a version or two behind the latest version of Spotfire and I find the training material on line for Spotfire is focused on the current version of Spotfire, so getting the examples of work with our version has been challenging.
My charts were created in Excel and Access previously. I started using Spotfire to replicate what I was doing in Excel to decrease the amount of manual work. I have struggled to get Spotfire to completely replace the existing system.
