Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Spotfire Platform is used across the whole organization to solve any kind of needs related to data discovery and visualization.

Pros and Cons

Access realtime data and information
Integrate statistics with data analysis

Genearlly speaking, graphics could be improved in quality and typology

Data Integration

There are a lot of specific connectors, but if you want to cache information you have to use ADS, that is not a Spotfire product and has some problems.

Collaboration and Sharing

Lack of integration with major social tools

Alternatives Considered

QlikView and Tableau Desktop

Likelihood to Recommend

The Spotfire Platform works well with realtime on fast data stores, but is not the better choice when working with a huge quantity of data on not-so-fast repositories.

Good but improvable
