Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 1, 2025

TIBCO Spotfire and SAP Analytics Hub both compete in the analytics and business intelligence sector, where SAP Analytics Hub stands out with its profound features, offering more value despite TIBCO Spotfire's advantages in pricing and support.

Features: TIBCO Spotfire shines with robust data visualization, supporting .NET SDK, IronPython, and R integration, along with interactive visualizations. It allows for extensive data connections and in-memory analysis for faster insights. In contrast, SAP Analytics Hub provides centralized access to analytics tools, seamless integration within the SAP ecosystem, and real-time data availability, enhancing enterprise-wide decision-making.

Room for Improvement: TIBCO Spotfire can enhance its user interface for more intuitive navigation, improve its real-time collaboration capabilities, and offer more scheduled updates. SAP Analytics Hub could reduce complexity in initial setup, offer more affordable pricing tiers for smaller enterprises, and improve its integration with non-SAP products.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: TIBCO Spotfire is praised for its straightforward deployment enabling quicker implementation, while SAP Analytics Hub offers a comprehensive deployment model that supports large-scale implementation but requires careful planning. SAP's commitment to service excellence is a key differentiator, especially for enterprises heavily utilizing its ecosystem.

Pricing and ROI: TIBCO Spotfire is favored for its competitive pricing, providing a good ROI for small to medium enterprises seeking strong analytics at a lower cost. SAP Analytics Hub, though requiring a higher initial investment, delivers a solid ROI for large enterprises, particularly those integrated with SAP products. Its pricing is justified through extensive capabilities and efficient data management.

Integration and security have improved, but search functionality and clarity of future direction need enhancement

The search function in SAP Analytics Hub is not effective. When speaking about integration with various analytic sources, for example, if I wanted to send the data from SAP BW or B4HANA to a data lake, we used to earlier use the Open Data Hub or Analytics Hub. Nowadays, we are using the Data Sphere integrators available with Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud. The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that.

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

"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."

"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."

"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."

"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."

"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."

"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."

"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."

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

"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."

"It's scalable."

"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."

"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."

"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."

Cons

"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."

"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."

"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."

"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."

"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."

"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."

"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."

"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."

"The solution might be generic."

"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."

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

"Print capability and trigger-based events."

"We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud."

"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."
