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

"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."
"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."
"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."
"The flexibility, data preparation, and data wrangling abilities of the platform are exceptional."
"TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"It has allowed us to be able to host client and web on same server."
"Good data transformation tools, excellent connectivity to different data sources, and good forecasting and statistical capabilities."
"Technical support has good response times; we’re very happy with the support."
"It has increased our sales by 10 to 15 percent by having that raw data turned into visuals that we can understand in real time."
"Spotfire is an easy-to-use yet powerful tool."
 

Cons

"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."
"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."
"However, not all the runtime components are multiplatform. To be exact, the component whose purpose is to render the data in a web browser can be installed only on Microsoft machines."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"Spotfire needs to allow for more of a database feel when using multiple data files."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"Their mobile solution (i.e. to use on mobile devices) and export functions are relatively weak."
"We originally chose this product as a tool for our SaaS offering, but its embedding features and level of complexity for a multi-tenant situation were prohibitive."
"To be completely frank, the main problem of Spotfire is that it's being destroyed by Power BI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I found the price to be quite reasonable."
"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."
"The solution is affordable one."
"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."
"The price-point for this solution is negotiable depending on usage levels."
"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."
"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."
"The pricing seems competitive and reasonable. The value delivered by the product far exceeds the cost."
"This product carries a monthly licensing charge, with the amount depending on the features that are to be included. This costs also covers the use of technical support."
