Overall Satisfaction with Spotfire Streaming

I'm building a stock trading/securities trading solution using Spotfire Streaming for one of our local customers. We have also built a solution around a stock trading platform which can be readily used by any Indian Stock Broking firm(s). The solution along with other Spotfire and non-Spotfire technologies thrives to achieve millisecond-level latency to beat the industry stalwarts.

Pros

  • Event Streaming Capabilties
  • Low level latency
  • Improved Java - JRE for the best performance
  • UML Like coding which reduces dependency on hard-core developers
  • Hundreds of connectivity options by way of providing adapters. Building custom adapters are also easy.
  • Provides industry standards and scientific functions out of the box.

Cons

  • A web-based UI for canvas
  • Hot deploy available out of the box
  • Tighter web-service coupling
  • Deploying on docker/kubernetes containers
  • Extremely positive as business of the customer grew very well.
  • It allowed central monitoring of the entire trading floor
  • It also reduces the amount of hardware required for the solution to run.
  • Drools and Oracle Streaming Analytics
Suitable: 1) Stock Trading, 2) Gaming, 3) Reasoning Skills, 4) IoT Integrations, 5) RealTime monitoring, 6) Gambling, 7) Vehicle/Traffic Monitoring solutions can easily be built with Spotfire Streaming Less Appropriate: 1) Solutions which can't execute on lower footprint like Raspberry Pi 2) Dynamic Rules where business changes are on-demand or frequent. 3) Cost is a huge factor in decision 4) Process Monitoring solutions are less appropriate for Spotfire Streaming usage.

Spotfire Streaming Training

  • Self-taught
Due to my previous experience with TIBCO, I'm well aware of TIBCO Streambase and its capabilities. Additional trainings did help and TIBCO Support was always friendly in explaining the product features.

    Thanks for the good review! We are glad you like our Performance, low-latency and Connectivity. We take your feedback seriously as we are continuously improving Spotfire Streaming. In regards to the areas of enhancements you mentioned (more integration with other technologies, better documentation), have you considered submitting or voting for them in the Spotfire Ideas portal (ideas.spotfire.com)? The Spotfire Idea portal allows you to submit your own ideas, vote on suggestions from others and easily see when one of your ideas have been implemented. Regarding the container/docker support - Recently GA'ed - Spotfire Streaming edition SB10 is fully Cloud-enabled with support for building and deploying applications as docker images to a wide variety of cloud operating environments. SB10 is a major upgrade to the way Spotfire Streaming applications run, moving from a single execution engine model to integrated support for clustered operation, which provides powerful features for enterprise applications, such as automatic transactionality and built-in support for continuous availability, Fault Tolerance and Disaster Recovery. At the same time, SB10 enhances the easy to use Spotfire Streaming Studio programming interface that allows developers to quickly build the business logic of a streaming analytics application with drag and drop efficiency.
