We performed a comparison between TIBCO BusinessWorks and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The OSGI console is available to debug different issues and get low level informations on the applications development, like bundle, dependencies, etc."
"XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"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."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"R and automation services."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"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."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"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 solution might be generic."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"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."
"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."
