We performed a comparison between Anaconda and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The most valuable feature is the Jupyter notebook that allows us to write the Python code, compile it on the fly, and then look at the results."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"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."
"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."
"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’s stable and straightforward."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"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."
"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"It crashes once in a while. In case of a reboot or something unexpected, the unseen code part will get diminished, and it relatively takes longer than other applications when a reboot is happening. They can improve in these areas. They can also bring some database software. They have software for analytics and virtualization. However, they don't have any software for the database."
"I think better documentation or a step-by-step guide for installation would help, especially for on-premise users."
"The ability to schedule scripts for the building and monitoring of jobs would be an advantage for this platform."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"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."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"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."
"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."
"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 initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
