We performed a comparison between SQL Server and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."There is no lack of features."
"SQL Server is a stable product."
"The replication feature, user interface, reporting services, and notification services are really good. They are providing SQL profiler and SQLCMD as their integrated software, so we don't find it difficult to integrate any of our third-party applications with MS SQL because all of them support MS SQL very clearly."
"The backup capabilities are extremely good."
"I use it to fine tune my procedures and functions."
"SQL Server stands out due to its robust parallel processing capabilities."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Managing database is very good."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"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."
"R and automation services."
"It's scalable."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"As SQL server could not support the number of connections we desired, we were forced to go with Oracle."
"The tool's support needs to be improved."
"The pricing could be better."
"It would be better if it had more integration with other systems."
"From a development perspective, the solution needs to be a lot easier to understand or it needs to be easier to implement API packages for connection pooling so we don't have connection interruptions when, let's say, a hundred people simultaneously access the network on a given system, utilizing a specific or single database."
"The solution could be better integrated with the SQL Server Studio tool."
"The interface integration could be better."
"Security is an issue."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"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 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 initial setup can be difficult."
"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."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
