Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Only a small portion of the organization has system access. The analytics team uses Spotfire to analyze product data and support manufacturing investigations.
  • It's really easy to create interactive visualizations
  • Can quickly merge different data tables and manipulate the data using pivots and other transformations
  • Great design and aesthetics
  • Sometimes runs slowly when working with large data sets
  • It's difficult to add additional files after you've already performed a transformation on the data
  • Online training
The online training was very interactive and included lots of examples.
Spotfire is really powerful at analyzing data. You can easily create interactive dashboards to gain insight. The wizard is useful because it suggests visualizations based on your selected data set.

Using TIBCO Spotfire

The geographic visualizations are very powerful because they allow the user to drill down on the data and link various data sources. It's easy to create new maps and perform interactive analysis. One of the most useful features is being able to connect the data to real-world scenarios.
