Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Spotfire is currently being used to replace adhoc reports from legacy applications. We also use it to build useful visualizations about utilization, performance metrics, etc. It is currently being adopted across the entire organization and about 5-6 departments use it now. It has allowed the company to have a tool that's interactive and doesn't require using another program to manipulate data.
- Helps users build advanced visualizations and does a great job of allowing users to make changes as needed.
- Offers powerful data transformation tools which allows users to make changes to the data as needed without affecting the source data.
- Provides automation services to eliminate having to export/email a daily report manually.
- Its a powerful tool but often lacks some very basic things like responsiveness when viewing visualizations on a different platform/resolution. This should be a feature included within the tool.
- The export options are minimal the pdf export leaves much to be desired. It requires reformatting or switching the page layout until you find the right format for your visualization.
- Spotfire chart features/functions are sometimes over complicated.
- Online training
- In-person training
- Self-taught
Yes, it was fairly easy to learn once you get passed the nuisances of the tool. I learned more by "playing" around in the tool.
