Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Spotfire is a great tool for data analysis, visualization and decision making process.
  • Ease of data raw data import for analysis, accepts variety of data files.
  • Visualization, useful for presentations.
  • Access to custom calculations to add new columns
  • Better access to visualization feature, better graphical interface
  • Could make calculations easier to use, simplify the syntax for people with non-programming background
  • Application load times could be improved. Very often Spotfire hangs after 24 hours of use.
I have not evaluated any other software besides Spotfire
  • Online training
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
In-person training generally is geared towards needs of the users in the organization, so I found it useful
Learning at my own pace. There is enough content and training exercises in the program.
Spotfire, being a menu driven application, is intuitive and reasonably user friendly.
Very intuitive, shallow learning curve, ease of data import, handling, manitpulation...
