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.

A scalable tool to create dashboards for financial reporting

I have experience with Qlik. Our company moved from Qlik to TIBCO, as the latter provided us with easier options to make dashboards. We consider TIBCO to be better for our company in some of the areas related to automation and analytics. The data monitoring team in our company prefers TIBCO.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."

"It is simple to transfer files."

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The flexibility, data preparation, and data wrangling abilities of the platform are exceptional."

"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."

"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."

"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."

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

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

More TIBCO Spotfire pros

Cons

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

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

"It requires some maintenance."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

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

"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."

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

"Print capability and trigger-based events."

"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."

"The data compression has room for improvement."

"The design of the UI could be improved."

"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons
