TIBCO Cloud Spotfire Enterprise
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
We currently use Spotfire to do data analytics for some of our clients.
Only a select few employees currently are using Spotfire.
We tend to use Spotfire when we want to create dashboards for our clients that primarily deal with visualizing geographic data. We deemed this product to be the best fit for this niche need, and it is not our primary data analytics or business intelligence application of choice.

- GIS or any geographic dashboarding
- Concise and clean visualizations
- Basic data discovery
- Custom made visualizations and dashboards are not very intuitive
- Drill-down functions and LOD are good but not quick on par with industry leaders
- Relatively expensive to implement for smaller teams
Spotfire lacks in availability, predictive analytics, and visualization capabilities compared to most of the other industry standards; however, we believe it is specifically very powerful in visualizing geospatial data. So Spotfire is a useful addition in our toolkit but more of a hex key than a Philips screwdriver in general usage.
- Great in developing deliverables with geospatial data. Creates clear visualizations the clients enjoy to look at.
- Expensive to implement, especially for smaller companies with the initial threshold of investment needed
- Self-taught
Utilized videos and other subject matter experts to learn with on-hands deliverable work. Did feel at some points that certain functionalities were difficult to locate or implement but still adequate in what we needed to create.
No, we have not used any other Spotfire products.
