Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We've found the product to be stable and reliable."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"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 create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"R and automation services."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"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."
"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 handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
