It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""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.""The initial setup can be difficult.""The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
