Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

Spotfire is currently being used for real-time tracking. Like other software, Spotfire is more for visualizations. At the same time those visualizations help us in picking out only related data. Currently, it is being used to address supply chain problems that most industries face - assisting them with inventory management and logistics
  • Interface has everything you need to create your desired visualization
  • Upon selecting specific parts of the visualization you get to see which data is responsible for the visuals
  • You can add multiple visuals on one page
  • Concise story telling software
  • For writing a script an additional software is required
  • other applications in the market provide better user experience
  • its Value for money
i have only used the Spotfire version and have not integrated with other applications or used any APIs
Probably all data bases and websites. live feed from websites through scripts would be amazing
I have been using Spotfire; it is free and I was able to play around a lot more with the features. The best part of using Spotfire is the heat map signatures for my data. It provides a better visualization of your target demographic.

Spotfire Training

  • No Training
I learned Spotfire on my own. I was searching for user friendly analytics software to use. I was working on a project where I can display data in a more presentable format with limited colors. I came across Spotfire when a colleague introduced me to the software. I was able to use the software to customize reports and dashboards for senior stakeholders.

Initially, it wasn't easy to understand how the system works. It took a few days for me to understand how the input file should be entered in Spotfire. Once I got the hang of it, it was a cake walk. Later I was put in touch with a few experts who assisted me in customizing the looks and feed of each report.
