Cons
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure.""The solution could use better documentation.""We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows.""With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process.""Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics.""We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive.""The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable.""I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."

"The design of the UI could be improved.""The data compression has room for improvement.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""When you do the data loading, it is slow.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""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.""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.""Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
