What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves. Upon confirming its effectiveness in enhancing data accuracy and management, we presented our findings to the company, Tech from South Africa, who expressed satisfaction with its usability. We considered factors such as cost-effectiveness and compatibility with our use cases.
What needs improvement?
The solution might be generic.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support responded to us but could not answer our questions regarding how Spotfire connects to the system. Most of the time, they were able to provide a solution. We didn't receive an immediate response for about 90% of the submitted tickets.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Investing in TIBCO Spotfire proved to be a better choice than the alternatives, as setting it up was easier than the other options. Additionally, training was straightforward, requiring minimal time and financial investment. It also boasts a short turnaround time, making it an excellent tool, particularly for environments lacking TIBCO code knowledge. Training the team on Spotfire lets them quickly become familiar with the tool, enabling efficient development and deployment.
How was the initial setup?
I faced no challenges during setup. However, there were some challenges with the vendor. They were not very responsive. It takes around three to four months to set up a dedicated infrastructure and configure the software to meet specific requirements. Spotfire offers a range of features tailored to the organization's needs.
TIBCO Spotfire's documentation isn't straightforward yet, but setting up the software with data from one or two sources is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is pricey. Most organizations might find it costly because very few are utilizing these features. We initially purchased the perpetual licensing. Additionally, there was an extra cost for support, but the vendor provided the first three years of support for free. After the initial three years, we are required to pay for ongoing support. The total cost includes the software licensing and the support fees, which are waived for the initial three years.
What other advice do I have?
However, if it includes artificial intelligence features, then it's worth considering. I would recommend it.
Consideration was given to integrating TIBCO Spotfire with SAP. Our business intelligence team was to set up specific tools, as outlined in our action details. Additionally, there is interest in exploring other tools, particularly open-source ones.
There have been no complaints since implementing TIBCO Spotfire, and we haven't encountered any technical issues.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.
