Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have had a lot of projects where we had a lot of users, like thousands of users, and the data was in one report which could bring in six million records. MicroStrategy is doing a good job on scalability."
"It is scalable and integration-friendly."
"Getting more data to people more quickly. Providing more flexibility for how they use the data."
"I like the user interface and the experience has been great."
"The technical support of MicroStrategy can be helpful through implementation."
"It is a good tool to help our customers visually see loads of data."
"The option to use various administrative tools, like Integrity Manager, is a valuable feature."
"It is always nice to have one solution in a single platform. You can do pretty much everything, instead of having to get a little bit here or a little bit there."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"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."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"If you compare it with Power BI with the DAX language, it would be great to put that into MicroStrategy."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"The learning curve is quite steep."
"I would like to see more integration."
"The UI seems klutzy with its manual entry."
"The problem is the way that their metrics are designed. It can be difficult to understand what you're actually looking at. Then when you're comparing a document against the VI, you can't actually do that properly. So there are components, and there is a huge learning curve in the Enterprise Manager space. I think it would benefit them greatly if they were to exercise a significant amount of research and development in that space."
"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
"We would like access to more storage and access to more metadata to build the right programs that can construct all the stuff for us instead of us having to type it in all the time."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"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."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"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."
"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 number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"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."
