Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

Oil and gas firm doing operational, reservoir and financial analysis. I use it to look at results from risk for monte carlo simulations of hedging results on a financial model. Spotfire allows us to visualize multivariable analysis across a 1 million row database quickly and easily. It is quick to do and allows easy configuration.

Pros

  • Intuitive to use
  • Fast to get what you want.
  • Results look very professional and presentable

Cons

  • Expressions and some nomenclature can be hard - espically for a non technical background
  • Data integration and importing seems to be behind the curve to Tableau
  • This could be good or bad - but the interface even after changing to version 10, has not changed all that much since early versions - 7 years ago or so.
Tableau, Microsoft BI. Tableau seems to be innovating much more than Spotfire on the data integration front. Colors have been updated coloring schemes appear to be bettter. Microsoft BI is far much more dashboard focused than big data. I like Tableau better for some things - but not all. Microsoft BI seems to be behind the curve on intuition.
  • Ability to communicated big data to a wide spectrum of audiences (exec, non technical, etc.)
  • Online training
  • Self-taught
I took the intro to spotfire course about 7 years ago.
Spotfire has the oil and gas market covered - which makes it an industry standard vs competitor products (Tableau, Microsoft BI)
