Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"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."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"In the API gateway, there is a new feature that allows us to filter logs within a payload. This has been a useful feature."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution for me has been the configuration-based UI. Once you get the hang of it, it enables you to easily develop an API. In addition, it has many in-built policies that are quite handy."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"They are the building blocks of EAI in SAG products, and they offer a very good platform."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"I like the tool's scalability."
 

Cons

"The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"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."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"The learning curve is a little steep at first."
"Scalability and connectors to different cloud applications is lacking."
"The solution should include REST API calls."
"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."
"The pricing seems competitive and reasonable. The value delivered by the product far exceeds the cost."
"The cost is a few hundred dollars per user per year."
"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."
"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."
"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."
"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."
"This product carries a monthly licensing charge, with the amount depending on the features that are to be included. This costs also covers the use of technical support."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."
