Cons
"Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier.""We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud.""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.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist.""The data compression has room for improvement.""The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
