Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Spotfire is being used for creating multiple Department Dashboards, such as Pharmacy, Oncology, Geriatrics. All these Dept. are working with 2 or more dedicated software with transactional databases providing partial information about their work. They are not able to get enough information. We use Spotfire to unify information and present summarise information in a graphical and comprehensive way, in order to give a global view to stakeholders.
- Very fast to create new dashboards, system provides automatically options to make fine reports
- Very good filters, easy to use for non-analysts, good graphics and a lot of possibilities to create reports
- Very good technical support
- Very good price with top performance
- Sometimes difficult to know what product and package fits your products
- Confusing documentation
- Not very comprehensive user access rights
Way less intuitive to use, slower to deploy reports, more expensive
- Spotfire is allowing to get comprehensive information from databases at a real competitive price, with great customer support.
- Self-taught
Very little specific training is needed to get first results out of Spotfire, and this was very important as we are really overloaded
We have not integrated Spotfire with other products from TIBCO or Spotfire

We have another BI tool but too rigid to give easy answers to new requirements. It was necessary to test a not very expensive, yet powerful for a little group of users. We needed to make difficult reports very fast, Spotfire excels in this
No, the decision was very good
TIBCO Spotfire Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
- Although documentation is vast, it's very difficult to know what add-on or package you need to deploy. We install 2 times products not needed loosing a lot of time. Anyway, support is good and helping
- It was not easy to know what product and options we needed

Yes, but I don't use it
