ROI

Sentiment score
6.4
Stitch boosts efficiency by saving time and costs, enhancing focus on data analysis despite mixed financial ROI reports.
Sentiment score
5.8
TIBCO Spotfire boosts productivity and decision-making efficiency by reducing reporting time, enhancing data analysis, and integrating smoothly with IT infrastructure.
That cut down our pipeline maintenance and integration overhead by eighty to ninety percent, freeing us up to focus entirely on actual data analysis and building user-facing features.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Previously it took me about a month to a month and a half to have a prototype of roughly five to ten screens. Now I can do it in about two to three days.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
The reporting time was reduced by approximately forty percent, and teams could access insights much faster, which improved overall productivity.
Data and Integration Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It has helped us save costs by making sense of large bodies of data.
manager at a non-profit with 501-1,000 employees

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.1
Stitch's customer service feedback is mixed, praised for effectiveness by some, criticized by others, with many users self-sufficient.
Sentiment score
6.9
TIBCO Spotfire's customer service is well-rated for responsiveness and support, though some inconsistencies and documentation improvements are noted.
The best skill set they've got is that they know when the issue is outside of their knowledge, and they escalate really quickly so that we get to the right people when we need them.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
The platform actually has a very clear interface and a very good user experience.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
Having a local partner was crucial for us while they were there.

They are very supportive when needed and very knowledgeable about the product.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.2
Stitch is scalable and user-friendly, but concerns exist about complexity and third-party connections for heavy applications and UI.
Sentiment score
7.0
TIBCO Spotfire's scalable architecture supports multiple users and large datasets, integrating with data sources and offering advanced analytics.
I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
We just spin up a new server and add it into a cluster, and then it pretty much manages the load balancing across all the servers in the cluster.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using the cloud version, then definitely it is scalable for sure.
Senior Manager at pibythree
It scales effectively for adding new dashboards, users, and data sources without major disruption.

Spotfire continues to perform effectively as data volume grows.

TIBCO Spotfire is generally stable but may crash with complex visualizations or large datasets, lacking auto-save feature.
Stitch is really stable.

Room For Improvement

Stitch users seek improved support, customization, integration, error handling, design features, pricing, and AI capabilities for better usability.
TIBCO Spotfire requires improved visualizations, user interface updates, integration ease, and better documentation for enhanced user experience and administration.
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.

I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.

Operations Analyst at a non-profit with 51-200 employees
 

Setup Cost

Stitch is cost-effective for small teams but seen as pricey with large data, complicated by Talend merger licensing.
TIBCO Spotfire's high pricing is justified by its features and scalability, with flexible licensing and negotiable costs.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
The cost of the seats is actually cheaper by the amount of value that you're adding to the business.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using any ETL tool, they are too expensive.

Featured Reviews

Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.

Interactive dashboards have transformed reporting and now support real-time data-driven decisions
One area that could improve in TIBCO Spotfire is performance with very large data sets. I use the advanced scripting feature less often, but the visualization and dashboard features are very useful in my daily work with TIBCO Spotfire. TIBCO Spotfire can be improved in handling very large data, faster dashboard loading, simpler advanced scripting, and better customization options for visualizations. Integration with some external tools in TIBCO Spotfire can be smoother, and the user interface for advanced features could be more beginner-friendly. A more intuitive navigation system, a cleaner interface, and an easier drag-and-drop option for report building would also make it more useful.
