MR
Cloud Security Support at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
AI-driven queries have transformed how I discover hidden cloud assets and misconfigurations
One of the improvements that could be made to CloudQuery is the GUI. In the past, I had issues where I couldn't see all the information that would pop up at the bottom. That might be fixed by now, but I was experiencing issues with the GUI itself. CloudQuery's AI capabilities lack governance and security features. While the AI is great for helping me craft SQLs to find assets in the environment, it does not have real security features for blocking or similar tasks. I can set up SQLs for alerting, but I find that a bit limiting. For what it is, CloudQuery is great. The only improvement I could suggest would be to set up more alerting features, but overall it is great for what it is, and I would say it feels a little bit limiting.

Operations Analyst at a non-profit with 51-200 employees
Interactive dashboards have transformed reporting and now support real-time data-driven decisions
One area that could improve in TIBCO Spotfire is performance with very large data sets. I use the advanced scripting feature less often, but the visualization and dashboard features are very useful in my daily work with TIBCO Spotfire. TIBCO Spotfire can be improved in handling very large data, faster dashboard loading, simpler advanced scripting, and better customization options for visualizations. Integration with some external tools in TIBCO Spotfire can be smoother, and the user interface for advanced features could be more beginner-friendly. A more intuitive navigation system, a cleaner interface, and an easier drag-and-drop option for report building would also make it more useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CloudQuery has positively impacted my organization because instead of navigating through multiple cloud consoles, I can run an SQL query and get, for example, all my S3 buckets that are public, private, or that I need to do something with."
"The AI-generated SQL works well for my team as it gets things right most of the time."
"I have used other so-called analytics tools in the past but Spotfire buries most others."
"Also, the time and sanity saved in no longer sharing PowerPoint slides or Excel spreadsheets throughout the organization can be priceless."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"The best features TIBCO Spotfire offers in my experience are advanced analytics, real-time analytics, excellent dashboard creation, and complex data exploration that allows us to make sense of large bodies of data."
"Spotfire allows me to combine data from disparate data sources quickly and to investigate if my joins are appropriate visually."
"In my opinion, TIBCO Spotfire is the best tool that really serves the business analysis needs."
"ROI can also be measured by the fact that Spotfire can integrate with existing IT infrastructure and existing IT expertise."
 

Cons

"CloudQuery really acts as an asset inventory tool, which is great, but I find that somewhat limiting."
"The stability is pretty good. However, if you have a decent-sized data set (maybe 100 columns by a few hundred thousand rows) and you create a lot of complex visualizations, sometimes the program will crash on you."
"Their mobile solution (i.e. to use on mobile devices) and export functions are relatively weak."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"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 design of the UI could be improved."
"To be completely frank, the main problem of Spotfire is that it's being destroyed by Power BI."
"In the recent version of Spotfire, 7.5 or 7.6, I was able to corrupt my webplayer services deployment with no way to restore it."
"They have good training programs for it, but the learning curve for Spotfire is probably higher than it might be for Tableau."

"The solution is affordable one."
