"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"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."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"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 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."
"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 design of the UI could be improved."
"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."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"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."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
