Cons
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier.""The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved.""The data compression has room for improvement.""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 improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""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.""When you do the data loading, it is slow.""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."
