Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

Used for exploratory data analysis prior to formal modeling. Also used for visualizing model results and simulations.

Pros

  • Allows exploration of multiple datasets that are connected in different ways.
  • Allows fast preliminary exploration of a dataset.
  • Allows for the exploration of the results of large simulations and experiments.

Cons

  • Hard to integrate with scripting languages, for example python, matlab, R.
  • Not clear how to handle in-memory and out-of-memory processing for large scale data.
  • Documentation could be better.
I find it more userfriendly and powerful than Tableau and Excel.
Tableau Desktop, BizNet Excel Suite, IBM Cognos
The software is powerful and user-friendly. The support could be better, both the account team and technical support.

Using Spotfire

Spotfire Training

  • Online training
  • Self-taught
It was very long, and was not segmented very well.
Yes [the product was easy to learn without training]. I did have a Spotfire consultant help me though. Some of the advanced visualizations were harder to learn how to configure.
