"The reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and visualization are the most valuable."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves."
"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."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"I think it would be easier if there was another module created to retrieve only data."
"Live Data Models are very slow and the setup can be improved, with tools such as Cloud Connector being inbuilt into SAP Analytics Cloud. Likewise, we need to write application code from scratch, rather than tweaking existing code, as we might with Excel macros. Moreover, when using responsive pages, the widgets get adjusted according to the mobile screen. As a result, when I place two or three KPI tiles, they can only be viewed tile-by-tile. We want to see the full dashboard on the mobile screen and zoom in to click on a particular section of the dashboard and go further into that. But displaying tile-by-tile makes it very annoying and the upper management using this dashboard might not be aware there are any more tiles to view."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."
"Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"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 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."
"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."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
