A scalable tool to create dashboards for financial reporting

I have experience with Qlik. Our company moved from Qlik to TIBCO, as the latter provided us with easier options to make dashboards. We consider TIBCO to be better for our company in some of the areas related to automation and analytics. The data monitoring team in our company prefers TIBCO.

More TIBCO Spotfire pros

Cons

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."

"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."

"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."

"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."

"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 number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."

"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 initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons
