Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Spotfire is used by our clients as part of software solutions providing embedded analytics to the end users.
Other companies use Spotfire for self-service analytics, combining data sources.
We also have users from hardware companies where validation engineers use Spotfire for ad hoc data analysis.
  • Data Preparation in Spotfire 10 is combined with an AI engine and makes it very easy for business users to combine data from diverse data sources.
  • Dashboard creation in Spotfire 10 can be done with help of searching without deep knowledge of the tool.
  • Creating analytical applications can be done without scripting or writing code.
  • Ad-hoc data analysis can be done by the untrained user.
  • Embedding new Visualizations can be done with JsVIZ framework but the process is not easy.
  • Integration of community add-ons. The community does not provide add-ons that can be embedded in Spotfire.
  • Marketing of the product. The market is not aware of Spotfire capabilities.
Did not check other products. Our company represents Spotfire in the Israeli market.
  • The work is done faster. It is much faster to develop analysis with Spotfire than with other tools.
  • Our clients developed analytical projects in a very short period of time.
  • Online training
  • In-person training
Training helped to understand advanced features of the product. It is important to take Tibco training and learn about the basics of Spotfire and about more advanced topices like Admininstration and scripting.
We use Spotfire with Tibco data virtualization and it helps us to connect to different data sources. Tibco Data Virtualization is part of the Spotfire offering.
Best case is interactive dashboards or ad-hoc analysis by business analysts. It is great for analytical dashboards and analysis that use R engine.
