    Pros
    I like how much I can do with my charts, and I really love the feature that highlights the rows of my data table that went into a particular part of my chart when I click on it.
    Luckily TIBCO provides good technical support and official community page to get answers from peer.
    Spotfire is the gold standard when it comes to analyzing and presenting your data in a meaningful way.
    Cons
    Bad text editor for javascript. IF the javascript errors, you need to restart the whole IDE.
    This was never intuitive for me, so I would just mess around with the axes until it looked like I wanted it to. Occasionally, this would become frustrating.
    Support from Vendor in the area of customer service is weak.

    Spotfire: Setting the Gold Standard in Data Analytics Platforms

    Reviewed 4 months ago

    Overall I'm extremely happy with Spotfire. They continue to listen to analyst on how to improve the platform and turn out new versions frequently. I would pick Spotfire over any BI platform on the market.

    Pros

    Flexibility, Data prep and data wrangling abilities within the platform. Spotfire will allow any end user to enhance their data discovery which will allow for faster decision making.

    Cons

    More customers should be using Spotfire. More capabilities than the two leading BI platforms on the market but they unfortunately own the market share. I've never met anyone that has used Spotfire that hasn't agreed Spotfire is a better tool. Spotfire's marketing strategy could use some work.

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Decent software, however with some improvements with the interface could be excellent. Would recommend when dealing with large amounts of data.

    Pros

    The range of different data analysis paths and visualisations available for use. Useful with large amounts of data.

    Cons

    Learning curve is very steep and sometimes the written help isn't as accessible. Very confusing interface and sometimes can crash.

    Great visualization tool for large data sets!

    Reviewed 5 years ago
    Pros

    It is extremely customizable so we have been able to create efficient templates that fit many of our process development engineering workflows. It links well with other systems to aggregate the data, and then using the tools we have created, we are able to easily line by/color by/trellis by a number of different experimental parameters to understand complex studies and DOEs with ease. It is a huge step up from our old workflow of graphing using Excel.

    Cons

    It can be difficult to learn how to customize complex templates with our giant data sets, so we had to specialize a small team of admins to create templates and troubleshoot issues. However, as an end user, it is very straightforward.

    Higher Learning Curve But Great Software

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    It has a steeper learning curve than I'm used to in software, but once I got more comfortable, I was able to really enjoy it. There are tons of things I can do with with the data here that don't require editing the query. I'm able to create a variety charts, including pivot tables, and there are options to filter and un-filter things from my data table.

    Pros

    There are lots of different features available and lots of customizations you can make to your reports. I like that I can apply transformations to the data in there without having to modify my queries. I like how much I can do with my charts, and I really love the feature that highlights the rows of my data table that went into a particular part of my chart when I click on it.

    Cons

    It isn't as user friendly as what I'm used to (I'm used to Microsoft programs like Excel or Word, where everything is very straightforward). There was a longer learning period with this software before I was able to feel comfortable with it. The help guide here is kind of general. It doesn't have explicit instructions for everything, so I'm just experimenting a lot of the time to figure out how to do what I want to my report or chart. Also, it doesn't seem to have a feature that can automatically email you excel files. You have to log in and export the report yourself.
