Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Organization usage: focused in development and operations departments.
Business Problems:
Business Problems:
- Visualization of operations metrics such as production tracking.
- Data QC.
- Prototype advanced analytical approaches.
- Interactive visualizations ("Brush UI").
- Data wrangling interface.
- Search function for Spotfire features.
- Steep learning curve.
- Self help options confusing - online help is convoluted; inline help is mediocre.
- Trellis by a hierarchy or custom grouping of categories.
Found Spotfire more customizable though not as pretty as Tableau when we evaluated in 2016.
- Facilitates more complex but timely operational decisions with revenue impacts in the order of $100K-plus such as oil blending optimization or well workover prioritization.
- Replacing some of our very expensive niche software applications with internally developed dashboards that we can much more easily customize as we wish.
- Much greater awareness of the state of our data and helping to promote a more data-driven work culture.
- in-person training
Impact was limited and really only provided awareness. Training was more useful to power users who were able to pickup a few additional tips or workflows. Our current training is more one on one now with new users having a chance to try it out first. We have access to online training but usage has been little.
