We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and TIBCO Spotfire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"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."
"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 initial setup can be difficult."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
