"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.""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.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts.""Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""It's scalable.""One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis.""I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."

Cons
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure.""The workflow could be improved.""The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""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.""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.""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.""When you do the data loading, it is slow.""The data compression has room for improvement.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
