Easy to use program that makes effective data display, from the most complicated to the most basic data
Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire
We use Spotfire primarily as a lab, but it is also used throughout the department for varying purposes. Our use of it in the lab is to create complex, three dimensional statistical graphs that would otherwise require a very specialized and expensive program. Even with the specialized program, Spotfire does a much better job at presenting the data and allowing customization.
- Customization - can change anything about an image from the color to the layout. Much easier than Microsoft products!
- User friendly - no tutorial or instruction manual necessary.
- Great data organization - very easy to display even the most complex data in an understandable way.
- Sometimes it is difficult to import data from things like Microsoft Excel.
- It would be nice to have multiple different export file types so that Spotfire can be more compatible with more programs.
- Faster data output.
- More consistent displays.
- More universal use across the office.
We have only used Spotfire.
Spotfire has a definite advantage over competing programs due to its user-friendly interface that requires no understanding of programming language to produce effective graphs. Spotfire also excels in producing graphs that display multiple variables on all axes, which the other programs I have used generally have trouble doing in an as effective way.

At first I was unsure if Spotfire would actually be useful to me. I downloaded it and didn't do much with it for the first couple of weeks. I then had a Spotfire employee call me and ask me what I wanted to use Spotfire for. Through talking with the employee, I was able to jump start my project and get on track
