Spotfire Platform
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Only optimisation engineers in countries around the world have access to Spotfire. We use it so analyse drilling trends, identify errors in data and hazardous events that have occurred. I am the only user in Australia for my company.
- Great marking and colouring options to highlight necessary data. Particularly helpful in scatter plots with segment colouring options.
- The details visualisation allows quick analysis of multiple parameters to identify trends
- Adding calculation columns are easy and simple to write if more data is required. Refreshing of data from source is also helpful.
- I find it difficult to view large scale data on x-y scatter plots where multiple data needs to be viewed on the x-axis. We generally put depth drilled on the y-axis and up to 3 variables on the y-axis but Spotfire does not view this data very well.
- Ability to auto calculate a trend line by selecting two points of data on x-y scatter plot would be useful for viewing.
- The print preview button doesnt save the last setting so when printing multiple landscape views I had to change my options every time. Just a bit tedious.
- Don't really understand trellis options yet but still learning on this.
Have not used many data analysis programs. Spotfire is my first full analytical software.
- Limited experience but so far great program and saved many hours of analysis over Excel.
- Self-taught
Online training would be extremely beneficial. Self teaching is difficult for such a powerful program.
