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.

Cons

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Its documentation could be improved."

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."

"Print capability and trigger-based events."

"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."

"The design of the UI could be improved."

"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."

"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."

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

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