Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation

AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

A scalable tool to create dashboards for financial reporting

I have experience with Qlik. Our company moved from Qlik to TIBCO, as the latter provided us with easier options to make dashboards. We consider TIBCO to be better for our company in some of the areas related to automation and analytics. The data monitoring team in our company prefers TIBCO.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."

"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."

"The product's initial setup phase was simple."

"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."

"It’s stable and straightforward."

"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."

"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."

Cons

"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."

"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."

"The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."

"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."

"The design of the UI could be improved."

"The solution might be generic."

"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."

"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."

"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."

"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."

"The pricing seems competitive and reasonable. The value delivered by the product far exceeds the cost."

"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."

"The price-point for this solution is negotiable depending on usage levels."

"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."
