Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire

Our products are built in Spotfire leveraging the TERR and Python engines that are natively supported by Spotfire. We utilize Spotfire for not only our product development, but consult on the implementation and analytics for a variety of clients using the product internally within their organizations. Business problems include analytics, machine learning, accounting/finance, and petroleum engineering workflows.

Pros

  • Machine learning
  • Advanced modeling
  • Data visualization
  • Data ingestion & ETL

Cons

  • Levels of customization for certain elements
  • HTML sanitation removal
  • Handling replacement data and the downstream impacts on data functions
  • We can attribute all product development to Spotfire
  • Quicker deployments
  • Flexible deployment options for desktop and web
Spotfire is significantly ahead of both products from an ETL and data ingestion capability. Spotfire also has substantially better visualizations than Power BI, and although the native visualizations aren't as flexible in Tableau, Spotfire enables users to create completely custom javascript visaualizations, which neither Tableau or Power BI has. Tableau and Power BI are likely only superior to Spotfire with respect to embedded analysis on a website.

Spotfire works well for handling everything from simple to highly complex and large datasets. Geospatial data works especially well, as the geospatial analytics capability afforded by Spotfire is second to none. We have migrated many workflows that were previously performed in Excel using pivot tables to within Spotfire. This has enabled us to increase efficiently and capability when analyzing new data.
