Room For Improvement

Azure Data Factory needs better integration, scheduling, support, AI features, and user interface improvements for efficient data management.
TIBCO Spotfire struggles with customization, user-friendliness, data integration, and requires enhancements in training, support, and mobile functionality.
Incorporating more dedicated API sources to specific services like HubSpot CRM or Salesforce would be beneficial.
There is a problem with the integration with third-party solutions, particularly with SAP.
I suggest integrating some AI functionality to analyze data during the transition itself, providing insights such as null records, common records, and duplicates without running a separate pipeline or job.
TIBCO Spotfire and ClickView need improvement in scheduling, which is critical yet lacking in quality.
It could be very useful if the coding part of using the platform could be more user-friendly in terms of visual capability.

The orchestration features in Azure Data Factory are definitely useful, as it is not only for Azure Data Factory; we can also include DataBricks and other services for integrating the data solution, making it a very beneficial feature.
The platform excels in handling major datasets, particularly when working with Power BI for reporting purposes.
It connects to different sources out-of-the-box, making integration much easier.
TIBCO Spotfire integrates with R and Python, offering a differentiator from the competition.
I think having Python included is a big win because you get the chance to customize your algorithm and your in-house development without having a big dependency on a third party.

Featured Reviews

Integrates diverse data sources and streamlines ETL processes effectively
Regarding potential areas of improvement for Azure Data Factory, there is a need for better data transformation, especially since many people are now depending on DataBricks more for connectivity and data integration. Azure Data Factory should consider how to enhance integration or filtering for more transformations, such as integrating with Spark clusters. I am satisfied with Azure Data Factory so far, but I suggest integrating some AI functionality to analyze data during the transition itself, providing insights such as null records, common records, and duplicates without running a separate pipeline or job. The monitoring tools in Azure Data Factory are helpful for optimizing data pipelines; while the current feature is adequate, they can improve by creating a live dashboard to see the online process, including how much percentage has been completed, which will be very helpful for people who are monitoring the pipeline.
Jacobo Ortiz Avila - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved data handling and customization but requires more intuitive visual design for workflows
It was kind of tough to have the visualizations with HTML, or you have to create your own page. But it was working great with buttons and every page updated pretty fast with the server capability, and it was handling a big amount of data, maybe five years of data. It was performing quite well, taking maybe three minutes to update the whole model. It has been good, but most recently, they changed the commercial methodology to get the license. Our política in the company is to hire or get licenses year by year, but most recently, TIBCO Spotfire asked us to have a three-year license term. That made things a little bit tougher for the commercial relationship. Maybe with all these automation processes that you have, those could be more visually friendly. N8N is a good example where you could connect some platforms, and you don't have to code strictly, but you could visually create an algorithm. That capability of clicking and dragging some boxes of code could actually facilitate how people create their own algorithms. It could be very useful if the coding part of using the platform could be more user-friendly in terms of visual capability.
