Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing

For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Flexible, offers a single pane of glass, and is highly customizable

There's one area I see that specifically needs improvement. That is when you do the data loading. It is slow. For historical data, when you talk about gigabytes of data, terabytes of data, then it becomes prolonged. Loading could be improved. That's one part. That is actually there with every tool. I would not say that this is a specific problem with Spotfire. However, it is a problem with all the BI tools. That is one area which can be improved. When you are doing analytics, you see that the value has to come perfect. There was a missing feature of alerting out of the box within Spotfire. However, they have released this in version 12.

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"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."

"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."

More TIBCO Spotfire pros

Cons

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

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

"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."

"The layered features within Spotfire can make it a bit complicated sometimes as compared to Power BI."

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

"The solution might be generic."

"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."

"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."

"When you do the data loading, it is slow."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
