Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

We are testing Spotfire to become a Spotfire partner and offer their products to our customers.
  • Very easy to use charts and modify its properties.
  • A lot of different types of charts.
  • An interface very visual and intuitive.
  • Using of marked records is a little bit confusing.
  • Legends in chart has too many options and could be confusing to read for the user.
  • Sometimes is a little bit difficult and not intuitive to find an option in the main menu.
Spotfire is better at visualizations than Qlik Sense and more intuitive and friendly than QlikView, but it´s worst than both of them in ETL and associative engine.
  • In-person training
Because the teacher is very, very good but he doesn't speak our language very well, and it was difficult to understand sometimes.
It could be useful if you need a tool for visualizations only, but it is a little bit poor if you need a tool for ETL.
