Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
We use it to analyze all our electrical test data. One of our most critical use cases is analyzing on wafer data. We build integrated circuits and have "wafers" with thousands of devices on them and each one has 10-15 measurements. We test multiple wafers per lot and this amount of data grows quickly! Spotfire is great to get all the data into the tool and quickly analyze it to determine yields.
- Pulling in large amounts of data. We used to use Excel and scripts but it struggled to handle so much data.
- Comparing data every which way you can imagine as well as comparing part to part, lot to lot, etc.
- Visualizing and displaying the data. We can analyze and compare quickly, then summarize and show visually concise graphs to management so we can make good decisions.
- The recent interface changes took some time to get used to.
The only other tool we have used is Excel which was not nearly as quick and easy to pull multiple data sets into and graph. We did try some custom scripts but they would break with every update and were difficult to pass along to others.
- Speed. We need to test, analyze and pick good parts and send to the next level ASAP and this tool makes that happen
- Online training
- Self-taught
So far it has been working. We each learn different aspects and share.
