Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

We implement it for our clients, it's one of the most popular technologies we currently offer.
  • Possibility of introducing custom functionality is much better than any other BI tool
  • Able to do complex calculations
  • Some performance issues with large amounts of data
  • Many simple or annoying little things that remain unsolved for years, even though regularly posted on Spotfire Community
  • Even with the latest version, the look and feel is a bit outdated
Better customization.
High complexity of analysis, and highly customized.

Spotfire Training

  • Online training
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
It was okay, but too easy.
The presenter was not qualified for conducting the training and was only reading the slides, and was unable to answer any questions.
It was not easy. I learned from more experienced colleagues' materials.
