Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire
Spotfire is used to conduct exploratory data analysis and advanced analytics. It allows us to visualize large sets of data easily with a significant speed advantage over some of its competitors (e.g. Power BI & Tableau). This tool is used across the organization by our analysts to support various organizational reporting needs.

We explored TIBCO Virtualization, as a tool to bring in Marketing web based data. However, we ultimately did not implement it.
We have connected Spotfire to many of our operational systems, including operations databases, CRM systems, Marketing databases. The power of Spotfire is that it makes it easy to manage large sets of data, to conduct data transforms on those datasets, to join and append data, and then conduct data analysis on those datasets. We expect that this connectivity will drive grater insights for our organization and help to illuminate more of the business.
