Flexible, offers a single pane of glass, and is highly customizable

There's one area I see that specifically needs improvement. That is when you do the data loading. It is slow. For historical data, when you talk about gigabytes of data, terabytes of data, then it becomes prolonged. Loading could be improved. That's one part. That is actually there with every tool. I would not say that this is a specific problem with Spotfire. However, it is a problem with all the BI tools. That is one area which can be improved. When you are doing analytics, you see that the value has to come perfect. There was a missing feature of alerting out of the box within Spotfire. However, they have released this in version 12.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments

In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."

"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."

"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."

"The product's initial setup phase was simple."

"The solution is an affordable one."

"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."

"It's scalable."

"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."

More TIBCO Spotfire pros

"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."

"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."

Cons

"The initial setup can be difficult."

"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."

"Print capability and trigger-based events."

"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."

"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."

"The solution might be generic."

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

"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."

More TIBCO Spotfire cons

"There are issues with certain Apple devices."

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."

"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."

"The solution is affordable one."

"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."

"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."

"This product carries a monthly licensing charge, with the amount depending on the features that are to be included. This costs also covers the use of technical support."

"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."

"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."
