User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking

There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

Has improved data handling and customization but requires more intuitive visual design for workflows

It was kind of tough to have the visualizations with HTML, or you have to create your own page. But it was working great with buttons and every page updated pretty fast with the server capability, and it was handling a big amount of data, maybe five years of data. It was performing quite well, taking maybe three minutes to update the whole model. It has been good, but most recently, they changed the commercial methodology to get the license. Our política in the company is to hire or get licenses year by year, but most recently, TIBCO Spotfire asked us to have a three-year license term. That made things a little bit tougher for the commercial relationship. Maybe with all these automation processes that you have, those could be more visually friendly. N8N is a good example where you could connect some platforms, and you don't have to code strictly, but you could visually create an algorithm. That capability of clicking and dragging some boxes of code could actually facilitate how people create their own algorithms. It could be very useful if the coding part of using the platform could be more user-friendly in terms of visual capability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a reliable solution."

"It is among the best, even if not widely known."

"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."

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

"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."

"Data discovery is very simple."

"The solution is an affordable one."

"TIBCO Spotfire integrates with R and Python, offering a differentiator from the competition."

"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."

"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."

"It’s stable and straightforward."

Cons

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."

"TIBCO Spotfire and ClickView need improvement in scheduling, which is critical yet lacking in quality."

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

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

"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."

"The design of the UI could be improved."

"Print capability and trigger-based events."

"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

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

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

"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."

"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."

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

Overview

Transformation Manager is an integrated development toolkit that is used to build data migration and data integration solutions more efficiently. A metadata-driven code generator, Transformation Manager provides users with the ability to generate lightweight, easy-to-deploy code. It combines a Graphical User Interface with a statement-driven mapping language.
