Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

It is being used for reporting purposes by reporting team. it addresses several business problems like crunching numbers and making sense with the data easily and in a better way
  • crunching numbers
  • calculations
  • customization
  • printing option is currently missing and the reports through spotfire are not printer friendly
  • instead of using code for customization, we would like to see easy to use built in functions and drag and drop interface for performing difficult tasks
  • exporting to different sources without losing the formatting
robustness and the easy to use interface and giving the user the power to drill down the data that they are looking for
we, at our organization specifically use it for finance data like budgeting and looking at month end stuff. It is well suited for reporting on large amounts of data and also for showing trends and forecasting the data and the main reason for us to use this tool is the user has all the power to slice and dice data however they want the report to be generated. it is not appropriate for printing the reports but then again by doing some manual configurations one can also solve this printing issue by properly formatting while the reports are under development.
