Pros
"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.""I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products.""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.""This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features.""R and automation services."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation.""Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied.""Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions.""This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW.""The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code.""I found the initial setup very easy.""RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes.""WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."

Cons
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""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.""The design of the UI could be improved.""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.""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.""The data compression has room for improvement.""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.""Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."

More TIBCO Spotfire Cons →

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded .""They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box.""The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application.""Technical support isn't the best.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it.""It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated).""Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
