We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"Technical support is good."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"It's scalable."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"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."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"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."
"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."
