Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses Spotfire to create visualizations for customers using our software.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Visualizations can be created in a reasonable amount of time.
Customers can create their own unique visualizations.
Visualizations can be shared with other users.

Cons

Our analysis is made up of multiple DXPs. It would be nice if there was an easy way to set a date filter and have it apply to all DXPs. It can be updated on one DXP and shared to the others so customers do not have to constantly change the date. The same applies to filters, but need to have an indicator if a filter is being applied.
Very difficult to trouble shoot when I have an issue. Probably will get better the more experience I get with using Spotfire.
Enhance the Print (Export to HTML) like the Export to PDF was enhanced.

Other Software Used

Team Foundation Server, HP UFT, Microsoft SQL Server

Training Types Used

In-person training

Probably could have learned what I needed to online, but it was good to have the time focused instruction

Likelihood to Recommend

Spotfire is well suited to report data that is in a data warehouse. Spotfire has not been easy to learn. Education was presented, but I do not believe there are enough examples to fix everyone's use.
