Interactive dashboards have transformed reporting and now support real-time data-driven decisions
One area that could improve in TIBCO Spotfire is performance with very large data sets. I use the advanced scripting feature less often, but the visualization and dashboard features are very useful in my daily work with TIBCO Spotfire. TIBCO Spotfire can be improved in handling very large data, faster dashboard loading, simpler advanced scripting, and better customization options for visualizations. Integration with some external tools in TIBCO Spotfire can be smoother, and the user interface for advanced features could be more beginner-friendly. A more intuitive navigation system, a cleaner interface, and an easier drag-and-drop option for report building would also make it more useful.

Business Analytics enables us to better understand our business and compare ourselves meaningfully to our competitors.
The solution has a number of distinct features that are noteworthy. First, it is an incredibly flexible and fast, yet comprehensive analytical solution. Verix has found a way to deploy the solution quickly, in under 3 months, while providing a product that is robust and uniquely tailored to the sales model within the industry. Second, in response to specific business needs that are constantly arising, Verix is consistently able to address our needs in a quick and thoughtful manner. Additionally, since Verix is cloud-based, these changes happen almost immediately, usually within hours or days. Finally, Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Those who are willing to make analytics easier with better understanding, this is the best tool and it is the easiest tool to learn quickly."
"We realize ROI through less maintenance, one-time work, easy accessibility, and less manual work."
"Spotfire is a wonderful product with vast reporting and analytical capability."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"It's one of the best products I've worked with in my career, especially in the engineering, oil and gas, or chemistry fields."
"I would recommend this product because it is intuitive with a fast learning curve and very powerful."
"Being able to create dashboards on the fly while stakeholders give requirements in real-time is extremely valuable in advertising."
"This combination of features means it's relatively easy to take business users with little analytics background and scale them up to expert-level techniques."
"The ability to identify in real time changes in behavior that are in contrast to expected and past behavior applies to any constituent’s behavior – customers, prescribers, competitors, payers, and even your own sales reps, and the product is also extremely user friendly."
"Verix has improved our processes since the entire sales force now functions on this standardized platform, which allows for smoother channels of communication throughout the team."
"Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user."
"Previously we were using a solution called Business Information Warehouse, and another called Tableau; neither was as easy to use or as advanced as the Verix solution."
 

Cons

"TIBCO Spotfire and ClickView need improvement in scheduling, which is critical yet lacking in quality."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"Sometimes the Spotfire client crashes when you test a Python script."
"It is a very expensive license model."
"However, not all the runtime components are multiplatform. To be exact, the component whose purpose is to render the data in a web browser can be installed only on Microsoft machines."
"We originally chose this product as a tool for our SaaS offering, but its embedding features and level of complexity for a multi-tenant situation were prohibitive."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"There's one area I see that specifically needs improvement. That is when you do the data loading; it is slow."
"There are tools in the market that have very slick graphical interface features."
"Currently there are 10 applications in the solution such as product launch and funnel. In the future I would like to see Verix add additional analytical applications so that an even greater range of the business aspects is covered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."
"The solution is affordable one."
"The price-point for this solution is negotiable depending on usage levels."
"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."
"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."
"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."
"The pricing seems competitive and reasonable. The value delivered by the product far exceeds the cost."
"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."
