It reduces the downtime and migration time exponentially

I would rate SharePlex's high availability, and disaster recovery features highly. It works as advertised in terms of rapid fill-over and switch-over opportunities. It reduces the migration time for a multi-terabyte database to an hour or less because it performs real-time replication. SharePlex reduces downtime and migration time exponentially. Something that could take 12 to 24 hours is cut down to one to two hours. By the time you start to migrate, the only remaining replication is a slight difference in data from the point when SharePlex has shut down, and the application has to also switch over to the new database. It allowed the company to replicate data more transparently. Some of the business executives probably don't even know it's there. It works 100 percent of the time, with little downtime or problems. It provides what is needed. There's little concern about whether or not it functions. It's allowed the company to achieve its objectives with its clients, reducing and minimizing downtime for substantial migrations and upgrades. It can reduce hardware and storage costs, but my company doesn't utilize it with high-availability architecture.

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

"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."

"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."

"Try it out in your production and you won't be disappointed."

"It works 100 percent of the time, with little downtime or problems."

"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."

"SharePlex has been a good fit for us because it was not as expensive compared to GoldenGate, it was stable compared to AWS DMS, and it was a good product for what we were looking for and within our budget too."

"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."

"The core replication and its performance, which is by far the fastest, along with the way it handles replication to multiple targets with basic filtering and from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."

More SharePlex pros

"Spotfire has delivered cost savings and helped with decision making at the right time."

"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."

"One of the best data visualization and analytical tools I have worked with and would definitely suggest others to evaluate and go for Spotfire to get the best ROI."

"Technical support is exceptional."

"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."

"With a bit of experience, end users will find Spotfire wonderful for ad-hoc analysis."

"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."

"Being able to create dashboards on the fly while stakeholders give requirements in real-time is extremely valuable in advertising."

Cons

"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."

"The reporting features need improvement."

"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."

"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."

"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."

"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities."

"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."

"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication."

More SharePlex cons

"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."

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

"Initial setup was complex: report creation, installation, automation, report changes..."

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

"Integration with a custom web portal is still challenging."

"I would like to see a few more charts and properties, easy integration with HTML design, d3 charts, and custom charts."

"Print capability and trigger-based events."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's really good value for the money. There are some things they could improve on, but in terms of the pricing, features, and support, as a holistic package, we are not thinking of anything else at this point in time."

"It is not as expensive as Oracle GoldenGate and has worked really well within our budgets."

"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."

"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."

"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."

"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."

"The solution is affordable one."

"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."

"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."
