Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

We are currently using Spotfire to visualize data and to make figures for manuscript publication.
  • It's flexible for visualizing the data and saves you a lot of time.
  • Allows you to make complex plots that would be difficult to make using other tools.
  • Making moving average plots is too difficult, and I have not found any helpful information through the "help" option in Spotfire.
  • There are no 'basic' tutorials for the main functions, or at least I have not found them.
  • When I export a figure, the resolution is not good, regardless of the format used. This has created some problems when generating high-resolution figures for publication.
It was relatively easy to learn, for the tools that I use. But I think an online or in-person training is required for more complex functions.
It gives you a lot of flexibility for data visualization, and it is intuitive most of the time. This flexibility in visualization helps you to better understand the data and make conclusions, so it's very well suited for understanding results of experiments, for example. As I mentioned before, it's also very good for data publication, as plots are beautiful.
