Featured Reviews

Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.
Fuad Mammadli - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"It's scalable."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"It’s stable and straightforward."

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."
"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 initial setup can be difficult."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"The layered features within Spotfire can make it a bit complicated sometimes as compared to Power BI."

"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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