Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

As part of the global enterprise team, we used Spotfire to gain insights into key strategic areas such as medical affairs, HR and finance.
  • Powerful transformation functions
  • Feature rich user interface
  • API offers endless bold on functionality
  • Better online community support like Tableau Public
  • Refresh of case study dashboard examples
  • Great customization
  • Powerfully statistical engine
  • Quicker turnover times between data analysis request to data insights.
No, we did not integrate it with other Spotfire based products.
Spotfire is a hardcode data science tool which caters to true data statistical analysis very well. It suits science-based industries and offers powerful functionality. Tableau is the number one data visualization tool and Spotfire is not as robust in this area.
Spotfire is a great value for money for the features it offers. Not all BI Tools give you powerful data transformations options.
