"I also find connecting to different data sources is quite simple. Other solutions we were using before were complicated."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It's scalable."
"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."
