Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire
Used for exploratory data analysis prior to formal modeling. Also used for visualizing model results and simulations.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
