TIBCO Cloud Spotfire

Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Spotfire is being used as a tool that allows us to visualize large amounts of data. Visualizing the data then helps us to to spot trends and compare much easier than just looking at many numbers in a spreadsheet. Spotfire works much better than Microsoft Excel, for example, when it comes to handling and quickly manipulating data. It is used by several engineers at the company I work for.
  • It did not take a very long time for me to learn how to use it. It felt quite intuitive.
  • I can generate visuals very quickly. When there is a need for something to get analyzed quickly, Spotfire can usually help me to get it done very fast.
  • It handles very large amounts of data, which as an engineer comes in very handy.
  • I sometimes struggle to make visualizations look exactly how I want, and I feel like there could be an easier way of making simple visual changes.
  • I know I mentioned it was easy to use, but some features still feel clunky, like when I want to change the theme of a visual.
  • Being able to add extra columns after already starting a project.
I have not used any other products like Spotfire.
  • Spotfire saves me time, which I can then turn around and use that time on my other duties. It makes me work more efficiently.
  • People are often impressed when I show them work that I did using Spotfire. When clients like your work, it is always a good thing.
  • Self-taught
Yes and no. I feel like I am good at using Spotfire to do the things that I need to do on a regular basis. But I know that I am only scratching the surface of what Spotfire can do, and I am sure with more training I would get more use out of the it.
No, I have not used Spotfire with any other Spotfire products.
Working as an engineer I often deal with large amounts of data. And coming up with conclusions using large amounts of data can sometimes be tough. Spotfire handles large amounts of data very easily, and allows me to manipulate the data in all sorts of ways. If I wanted to use another software to do what Spotfire does, it does not always handle the load quite as well.
