Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration vs TIBCO Spotfire comparison

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information."

"The product is robust."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"TIBCO Spotfire can connect to many different data sources in order to acquire data, from many vendors such as SAP, Oracle, IBM, or even just local files."

"Data discovery is very simple."

"Reporting and dashboarding became quite easy; it is much faster and more robust than other BI or visualisation tools."

"It has allowed us to be able to host client and web on same server."

"Building a dashboard is very fast, even if you have limited IT skills."

"ROI can also be measured by the fact that Spotfire can integrate with existing IT infrastructure and existing IT expertise."

"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."

"Once we implemented Spotfire, the reports have become data-driven and visually appealing."

"The most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified."

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

"The problem is the registry to configure the systems, and it's not really scalable for companies with offices worldwide."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."

"Better UX/UI design to make the product look “sexier”. It’s somewhat difficult to add formatting to Spotfire dashboards to make them look nice (e.g. coloring backgrounds of charts, adding floating texts, etc.)."

"The server crashes at times with plugins."

"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."

"Backend administration of the application can be difficult."

"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."

"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."

"To be completely frank, the main problem of Spotfire is that it's being destroyed by Power BI."

"Initial setup was somewhat complex on the client’s system."

"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

"The product is not expensive."

"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."

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

"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."

"The solution is affordable one."

"This product carries a monthly licensing charge, with the amount depending on the features that are to be included. This costs also covers the use of technical support."

"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."
