Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

Spotfire is being used by our operations department. We are challenged to automate as many manual reports as possible with the tool.
  • Automated reports/dashboards with the ability to save to a PowerPoint.
  • Customizable visualizations.
  • Allows senior leadership to modify reports as they desire.
  • We are still learning more about this product and haven't seen many cons. More information on Information Links may be needed.
Business Objects is great for static reports (input controls are useful) and Tableau is similar to Spotfire. Overall Spotfire is a great tool, but we have only been using it for about a year so still learning.
[It's well suited for] dashboard creation giving users the ability to modify the report on the fly.

Spotfire Training

  • In-person training
A lot of information was covered during the training/boot camp. It was all valuable and helpful especially the information on Info Links.
