Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Spotfire is used by the exploration team at our small exploration and production company. It simplifies our data analysis and creates more in-depth opportunities for data that previously seemed useless. We can easily keep track of large amounts of data and visually display results in a useful way. The mapping component is a huge help in focusing our exploration efforts where we have the best understanding of the geology.

Pros and Cons

Easily plot data and edit graphs - much more capable than Excel.
Mapping is a key feature.
The support is outstanding, great customer service.

The software is not intuitive. Finding menus can be a challenge.
Help options are limited.

Alternatives Considered

Excel

Spotfire takes the graphing ability of Excel to new levels. We spend a tenth of the time analyzing data now with spotfire. Additionally, using a map is a huge benefit that Excel does not offer.

Likelihood to Recommend

We do a lot of simple cross plots. These are a pain and time-consuming in Excel. In Spotfire, you can look at every aspect of data in a quick and easy way. Changing the size, color, and shape of points is easy and filtering through data is very simple. One click and you have a new cross plot, there is no highlighting necessary.

Amazing tool for analyzing data
