Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Spotfire is used to perform analytics and process tracking of our pipeline data. Currently, the microscopy department uses Spotfire for all of our data visualization needs. I use it on a yearly subscription basis and find it to be a very useful data visualization product.
  • It provides a great platform to connect to our databases.
  • It has a good suite of data graph options.
  • It has a relatively intuitive user interface.
  • Critical functionality such as image display from scatterplot was disabled in cloud version which broke our main use case.
  • More work needs to be done to help provide more examples of how to better use all that Spotfire has to offer.
  • A more clear delineation of Spotfire cloud vs local install feature differences needs to be available so one can choose the most appropriate license for their use case.
Tableau is a newer product that does not have as many features as Spotfire which has been around much longer.
  • Great data visualization software.
Creating a data visualization does not take much effort which is a big plus.
