Pros
"The solution is an affordable one.""It's scalable.""From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic.""The product's initial setup phase was simple.""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.""I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products.""We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs.

"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"When you do the data loading, it is slow.""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 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.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge.""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 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."

More TIBCO Spotfire Cons →

"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
