Pros
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""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.""We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable.""It’s stable and straightforward.""The product's initial setup phase was simple.""One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis.""Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."

"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."

Cons
"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.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""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.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""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.""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."

More TIBCO Spotfire Cons →

"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
