Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

We use Spotfire mainly to display data in the form of dashboards. It is used by us to make decisions on plan changes by advising whether new production plans are realistic and in line with past performance. Various inputs can be quickly changed if the production plan isn’t realistic and then a new review of the dashboard occurs. Having unrealistic plans causes waste in the supply chain.
  • Easy to create new dashboards
  • Display data in an easy to digest form
  • Ability to change views on the fly
  • Initial Load time is slow
  • Graphs aren’t always visually appealing
  • More options for input data sources
  • Ability to review plan on plan changes quickly and identify opportunities
No, we have not integrated Spotfire with other software.
I find both Microsoft Power BI and Spotfire very easy to use. I would rate them on par with each other. There isn’t much to differentiate them. Maybe the learning curve on Spotfire is a bit steeper than Microsoft Power BI.

We use Spotfire to display data for management. Management often needs information presented in different forms. In meetings with them, they will often ask for data to be arranged in contrasting modes and Spotfire allows for this to be done seamlessly and on the fly.

Spotfire Training

  • Online training
  • in-person training
In person training initially was great as it got us used to the software and able to ask questions. The online training post in person training worked great as we could go at our own pace and refer to the material later on when we ran into trouble once implemented
