The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."

Cons
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations.""I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma.""The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."

More Sigma Cons →

"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""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.""When you do the data loading, it is slow.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""The design of the UI could be improved.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
