Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

We use Spotfire as data visualization tool for displaying current status of our production line. With Spotfire it enable us to create dashboards with ease as it's user interface is easy to understand specialty the new version. Another thing with solve with spotfire is easy to create custom visualization and custom ui functionality using JavaScript. Another thing I like with spotfire is you can change your chart properties on the fly using iron python.

We use Ms msql and MySQL server. It is easy to establish connections with spotfire to these servers. It provide stable connectivity during data refresh even on direct connection or import data. Spotfire offers flexibility on pulling data like parameterized queries.
I choose Spotfire because of the following - custom visual using JavaScript - on the fly chart property update using iron python - easy report Deployment and update -easy to manage user access via so or ldap - best report data Extraction -mix data sources -custom data load schedule per data sources

Did implementation of Spotfire go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Spotfire again?

Yes

Spotfire is the best specially on onpremise setup. It will provide a lot of flexibility on your reporting need via it's custom visual using JavaScript, update chart property on the fly using iron python and easy to manage server user and data sources. I only don't like with spotfire is its documentation for server setup is seems not updated in some scenarios. Also some error messages during server setup is not sufficient to solve issues.
