We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage.""SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy.""We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done.""SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system.

"R and automation services.""The solution is an affordable one.""It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts.""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 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.""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.""The product's initial setup phase was simple."

Cons
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see.""The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades.""I would like to see it become mobile-friendly.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

More SAP Replication Server Cons →

"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 is complicated and needs experience and knowledge.""We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud.""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 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.""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 Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""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."
