Is very good handling Big data volumes. In our case we are talking about 14.000 signals at miliseconds frequency. Drill down capability provides a very good experience to understand where to focus the action based on the information provided to the user. The scenario in which you want to provide Service for external clients without letting them know you are working with Spotfire is not easy. Must display dashboards per client, projects, use case… through Spotfire user interface
