Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
I do not know about other users within the college, but I am using Spotfire for multiple purposes. Within my department, I have used Spotfire to perform exploratory analysis on class enrollment and management. A goal of the analysis was to evaluate conflicts that would be seen by the typical student in enrollments. I am a teaching faculty member as well and am considering developing an experiment on various data analysis techniques with chemical data.
Pros
- Spotfire can handle large datasets by design.
- Visualizations are linked, so one view can be used to establish the critical data, but different views can be used to present and clarify the data for different stakeholder groups.
- Because data can be integrated from different sources, recent information that may not be fully probated can be included in an analysis with established data.
Cons
- There are times when I want to look at local data quickly, but every time I start up Spotfire it hijacks my web browser to require login to the Cloud. This design is particularly vexing if I have no internet access. I understand that this is the design, but it does not mean I have to like it.
- Startup can be slow.
Not applicable. Most analysis has been done built from Excel, MATLAB, or Mathematica. Some from R.
- Self-taught
It is still a learning process. I used it for some needs in the spring, but I intend to do more in depth analysis this fall.
