Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Spotfire was used as an analytics tool for one of my clients. The data source/back end was an older oracle datamart.
- Drag and drop, ease of use for end users.
- Deployments to production environments are relatively straight forward.
- Flexible capabilities on getting data from multiple data sources, however this can be a double edged sword if your enterprise does not have proper governance in place.
- Datasets can get muddy, architecture wise there needs to be governance in place to identify where the real source of truth is. Otherwise you end up with a spaghetti implementation that has very poor data lineage.
- It is not as intuitive as other dashboard/visualization tools such as Tableau.
- Not particularly a problem with Spotfire alone, but lots of analytics tools require you to push specific aggregations and measurements to the data model versus having a citizen developer creating them on the fly.
- I wouldn't know, I am just a developer
- In-person training
One of the lead's trained the organization on the software capabilities.
