Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation

AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

Flexible, offers a single pane of glass, and is highly customizable

There's one area I see that specifically needs improvement. That is when you do the data loading. It is slow. For historical data, when you talk about gigabytes of data, terabytes of data, then it becomes prolonged. Loading could be improved. That's one part. That is actually there with every tool. I would not say that this is a specific problem with Spotfire. However, it is a problem with all the BI tools. That is one area which can be improved. When you are doing analytics, you see that the value has to come perfect. There was a missing feature of alerting out of the box within Spotfire. However, they have released this in version 12.

Pros

"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."

"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."

"The solution is an affordable one."

"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."

"It's scalable."

"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."

"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."

"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."

"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."

Cons

"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."

"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."

"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."

"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."

"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."

"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."

"The data compression has room for improvement."

"TIBCO Spotfire and ClickView need improvement in scheduling, which is critical yet lacking in quality."

"The initial setup can be difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."

"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."

"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."

"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."

"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."

"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."

"The price-point for this solution is negotiable depending on usage levels."
