We performed a comparison between TIBCO Spotfire and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"It's scalable."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"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."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"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 initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"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."
"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."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"The solution might be generic."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
