Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire
We have Spotfire connected to on-site databases to create engineering and operations dashboards to drive actions. It is being used by departments such as equipment engineering, process engineering, yield, operations, all taking in data from a variety of data warehouses or databases and sometimes uploaded from Excel sheets where required. Spotfire is solving the business problem of helping spot what areas need action.
Pros
- On click actions
- Python integration
Cons
- More chart options--lots exist, but there are some great ones out that are hard to make currently
- Positive
- Great for rapid iterations of reports
A few that are not listed are Metabase and ReDash--they are both open source. I like Spotfire the best by far. I was surprised how far behind it Tableau is. I could just never get the feel for Tableau, while I really enjoyed working in Spotfire. The open-source ones are nice too but just not as full-featured as Spotfire. I did not like Power BI by Microsoft, and Knime was just a little clunky and just not what I was looking for.
Spotfire Training
- in-person training
Got a good start on our own. We did have a Spotfire consultant on-site to help with training and it was very helpful to have someone to ask questions about Spotfire when we were stuck and did not know a good solution.
