Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."All the necessary information is available to everyone in real time."
"The data is incredibly easy to share with colleagues."
"Data-driven decisions are now easier."
"It offers good control. Loading the logs is also a good thing."
"What I found most valuable in Qlik Sense is its flexibility. It's a very flexible tool, and it has a lot of capabilities compared to Tableau and Power BI. In Qlik Sense, you can take data from any of the systems, and you can do data transformation, prepare the data, then present your KPIs. Data transformation isn't present in Tableau, Power BI, and other tools. In Qlik Sense, you're able to get the data and directly present that data. The presentation layer is also very good in Qlik Sense. My company is very happy with this tool."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile platform."
"Quick reporting."
"We can easily and quickly deploy new dashboards that reach a wide audience and any changes get reflected almost instantaneously for the users."
"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."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"R and automation services."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves."
"Advanced graphs or visualizations must be in the built-in product, instead of building with open API extensions or mashups."
"From the initial setup of the product we had some struggles getting connections to some of our databases to function, this indicated that some of the data extract drivers can be improved and addition of some of the older database engines need to be added in Qlik Sense."
"The security rules should be made easier to use."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"The product could be improved by implementing a user-feedback ranking system."
"We need more types of visualizations."
"Qlik Sense is working very well on going to low code and development. They are trying to make their environment more user-friendly. However, the training is not free. When you want to learn more about the tool, sometimes you need to pay for the training. This does not make sense to me because training should be free because the more you learn about the tool the more you use it and the more you are loyal to the company and want to continue usage."
"Mostly when it comes to the loading of the data and reload times of the reports, it could be better."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"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 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 solution might be generic."
"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 initial setup can be difficult."
