We performed a comparison between TIBCO BusinessWorks and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the ease-of-use and ease of deployment."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"It's scalable."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"The technical support's turnaround time is an area where TIBCO needs to consider improvements...Getting support from TIBCO on a particular issue takes a lot of turnaround time."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"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."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
