We performed a comparison between SAP Analytics Cloud and TIBCO Spotfire 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."The SKU, the story build all are user- friendly. For the story build one just has to drag and drop it. And for the table, you just need some sort of selections and everything there."
"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"The solution is stable."
"A robust solution."
"The reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and visualization are the most valuable."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"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."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"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."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile."
"Technical support could be more helpful and responsive."
"I think it would be easier if there was another module created to retrieve only data."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
"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 can be difficult."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"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."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"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 is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
