TIBCO Cloud Spotfire

Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Spotfire

We utilised Spotfire to help analyse results from complex observational assessments to help identify opportunities for efficiency, financial and CEX improvements across customer care and back-office operations. We built each tool and methods we defined allowing us to take data from pre-defined studies and actually start analysing results mid data capture. The dashboards we created allowed us to evidence any need for change and associated impact in seconds, while also provided a portal where clients can access our finished dashboards as a takeaway document, alongside traditional excel and PowerPoint documents.

Pros

  • Data transformation such as Pivots and Unpivots were a key feature.
  • The ability to self publish and manage dashboards without IT support allowed us to be very agile when delivering projects.
  • Custome calculation functions, with supported rules and built-in error checking, made the process very intuitive.

Cons

  • Combining graphs and objects into the same space was impossible.
  • Making things look pretty was not as easy as some other projects.
  • Export functionality was lacking.
  • No market place for community built visuals.
  • UI design a little different to most products, increases learning time.
Affordable infrastructure and flexibility over other platforms evaluated at the time
  • Self-taught
Long learning curve, but weeks to months rather than years to get things working and start adding value. If you are familiar with coding languages, it is likely easier still as not everything is driven by the UI
Great tool for hosting and publishing dynamic dashboards, the ability to structure inputs and replicate for similar projects made our lives much easier and increased efficiency.
