It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""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 initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""When you do the data loading, it is slow.""The initial setup can be difficult.""Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
