Cons
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier.""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.""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.""The design of the UI could be improved.""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.""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.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
