Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
We use it for both ad-hoc analysis and for creating dashboards that are used at various levels.
Pros
- Pulls in data from a variety of sources
- Quick and nice looking visualizations
- Filtering and slicing up data to see different metrics
Cons
- Limited variety of specializations
- Limited ability to set some preferences (lines on tables, how labels appear, etc.)
- Some features are buried in non-intuitive places
I've also used Tableau and SAS. I prefer Spotfire over SAS for dashboards and visualizations. Tableau and Spotfire aren't heavily differentiated to me.
- Online training
- Self-taught
It's easy for simple visualization and analysis; it's difficult to learn customizations (Dials instead of KPIs, linking multiple tables, custom expressions).
