Spotfire Platform
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
We usually use Spotfire to process, visualize and analyze large field datasets, this data most of the time is near real-time engineering data. We do pull flows, pressure and temp data and perform many ad-hoc calculations trying to address causation most of the time.
- The power of Spotfire comes from its ability to perform multi-level filtering that is tied back to your data everywhere so you don't need to re-implement your filters again.
- I see Spotfire standing in the middle between being a Data Vis. or Data Analytics platform and that's what sets it apart from Alteryx, Tableau and Power BI.
- The ability of Spotfire to host R and Python is another great strong point that gives the users huge flexibility to implement anything they can't find, not to mention its great custom expressions interface. I am not sure about other platforms but I was able to process 8M rows data very easily.
- More enhancement to produce combination plots (Scatter+Line)
- Add support for GGPLOT library in R
- Edit curves individually
- Quick visualization and data representation
- Dashboards implementation and interactives
- High entry barrier for non trained personnel
- Self-taught
It took me a long time to figure stuff out. In addition Spotfire doesn't have all the content for free and their training cost is expensive.
We are still evaluating Spotfire.
