Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""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.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""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.""This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard.""The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""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."

Cons
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""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.""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.""When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""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.""The design of the UI could be improved."
