Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
There were select programs and applications that were required to be used for an economic analysis of a large scale oil and gas development program. Spotfire, while not required, offered a significant advantage in GIS analytics.
Pros
- GIS analytics
- Quick multivariate analysis
- Data presentation for management
- Visualization
Cons
- Data manipulation
- User customization
- Large Learning curve
- Positive: I was able to present significantly more data in a minimalist and streamlined way.
- Self-taught
It was probably more inefficient than formal training would have been, however the basic functions of spotfire are easy to pick up on.
Spotfire is a more streamlined version of Power BI. I would prefer Spotfire over this competitor.
TIBCO Cloud Capabilities
- Easier access for non-technical personel
- Improved enterprise reporting
- Consolidated repository
I have not had an opportunity to interact with Spotfire support. The only forums do have a plethora of information and there is extensive documentation available, however I find a number of the errors I encounter require solutions that may not be easily available on either source due to version differences or user error.
- Heavy analytics
- Enterprise reporting
- Replacement of other business intelligence products
