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."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."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"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."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"It's a visual tool, so our transformations can be quickly implemented without a lot of fuss. The fact that we have an easy way to expose REST services is also very interesting. It offers the possibility to connect over GMS to synchronize message brokers."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"webMethods Integration Server is an easy-to-use solution and does not require a lot of coding."
"The product is very stable."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."
"The solution's ease-of-use is its most valuable feature, in which complex issues may be resolved."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"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 handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"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."
"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 you do the data loading, it is slow."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"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."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."
