"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"The scalability is tough."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."

"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"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."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"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."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
