Real-time data capture has accelerated releases and now improves trust in our data warehouse
The checkpoints would help me to figure out where the problem was if there's any lag, but I had to do a lot of manual work to figure out where the lag is. Striim would not intuitively tell me the culprit table or database behind the lag. I believe that is an improvement Striim could definitely do. Passwords were an issue. Property variables were not supported for passwords, meaning I had to make sure the password is manually populated. I believe if Striim could read from AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change. The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is outside normal processing time, could intrinsically be done by Striim. I believe that was lacking. I would wait for Striim to tell me, instead of me going and validating whether Striim is lagging behind. If Striim could itself tell me that it's seeing a lot more volume than expected, that would really make me give it a higher number.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were confidently in a situation to call Snowflake as a single source of truth, and I believe with Striim, we were able to do that because without Striim, the SLA would be much higher, and there would not have been much confidence in Snowflake."
"Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency and highlights the variety of sources and targets I have used."
"Compared to Tableau, it is much more powerful in terms of statistics and analytics, but Tableau is more popular, so there is more support for it online."
"The best features TIBCO Spotfire offers in my experience are advanced analytics, real-time analytics, excellent dashboard creation, and complex data exploration that allows us to make sense of large bodies of data."
"TIBCO Spotfire offers excellent features, including flexibility and the ability to do much better compared to other analytical tools."
"I think having Python included is a big win because you get the chance to customize your algorithm and your in-house development without having a big dependency on a third party."
"It has increased our sales by 10 to 15 percent by having that raw data turned into visuals that we can understand in real time."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"I ran one POC on a dataset over 100 GB and Spotfire performed as well as it does with small datasets."
"Map charts are very powerful and work better than most other in-memory analytical tools."
 

Cons

"The user experience of triggering alerts if there's any lag which Striim identified, which is not normal, could intrinsically be done by Striim."
"I think Striim could be improved with better pricing and enhanced documentation."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
"Integration with a custom web portal is still challenging."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"I would say that the implementation of the product could be much easier than it is at the moment. It is a complex process at the moment to set up TIBCO Spotfire with your database; not always straightforward."
"TIBCO Spotfire can be improved in several areas. The UI can be enhanced, and the usage and flexibility need to be better compared to other analytical tools."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"Spotfire needs to allow for more of a database feel when using multiple data files."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
