Spotfire is perhaps the best big data and data visualization software to work with R
I find that this software is the easiest to work with R, and the visualization/analytical capabilities make it generally worth the cost.
Pros
Spotfire has a nice user interface that is easy to figure out and set up automated tasks. Perhaps the biggest advantage of Spotfire over other data visualization tools is its connection with R and the ease in which one can connect R scripts with Spotfire visualizations. The beginning process of visualizing data and the suggested visualizations that Spotfire offers is nice, although it does require a few more clicks if you don't like the suggestions Spotfire suggests.
Cons
Spotfire is more expensive than other data visualization software, although I can see why. Spotfire has a host of additional graphical capabilities and analytical capabilities that I think justify the extra cost. It took me a little while to figure out how to set up the analytical models, but once set up, things run smoothly.

Great visualization tool for large data sets!
Pros
It is extremely customizable so we have been able to create efficient templates that fit many of our process development engineering workflows. It links well with other systems to aggregate the data, and then using the tools we have created, we are able to easily line by/color by/trellis by a number of different experimental parameters to understand complex studies and DOEs with ease. It is a huge step up from our old workflow of graphing using Excel.
Cons
It can be difficult to learn how to customize complex templates with our giant data sets, so we had to specialize a small team of admins to create templates and troubleshoot issues. However, as an end user, it is very straightforward.
Reasons for Switching to TIBCO Spotfire
Data entry was too manual for our growing company and data sets.

Higher Learning Curve But Great Software
It has a steeper learning curve than I'm used to in software, but once I got more comfortable, I was able to really enjoy it. There are tons of things I can do with with the data here that don't require editing the query. I'm able to create a variety charts, including pivot tables, and there are options to filter and un-filter things from my data table.
Pros
There are lots of different features available and lots of customizations you can make to your reports. I like that I can apply transformations to the data in there without having to modify my queries. I like how much I can do with my charts, and I really love the feature that highlights the rows of my data table that went into a particular part of my chart when I click on it.
Cons
It isn't as user friendly as what I'm used to (I'm used to Microsoft programs like Excel or Word, where everything is very straightforward). There was a longer learning period with this software before I was able to feel comfortable with it. The help guide here is kind of general. It doesn't have explicit instructions for everything, so I'm just experimenting a lot of the time to figure out how to do what I want to my report or chart. Also, it doesn't seem to have a feature that can automatically email you excel files. You have to log in and export the report yourself.

Comprehensive Analytics Tool
Once I had some training on Spotfire, I never looked back and use it frequently when processing large amounts of data.
Pros
I love that Spotfire is able to process large file sizes extremely quickly, which means filtering millions of rows in seconds and making it easy to find and sort filter options. In addition, the visualizations in the tool are practically limitless and allow users to make incredibly complex but extremely useful and informative reports.
Cons
Spotfire is not easy to use and requires training from an experienced person to use. It is not nearly as user friendly as its competitors.
Reasons for Switching to TIBCO Spotfire
Excel can't handle the large amounts of data that Spotfire can.

Tibco Spotfire Review
Very nice to use Business Intelligence tool, have user friendly interface and the basic functionality is easy to self-study. At a low cost and not so customized Dashboarding requirements Tibco Spotfire is very efficient.
Pros
* User friendly interface and ease of access. * Good design and functionality for graphs. * Low cost. * Ability to embed Python, HTML, and JavaScript. * Plenty of data source options.
Cons
* Hard to customize some visualization objects. * Few default functionality for computations especially on cross tables * Sometimes the text editor is auto changing the code layout once saved.

The Best Reporting Tool Around - HANDS DOWN!
Overall TIBCO has saved a lot of time and money by allowing our company to make quicker and more informative business decisions based on the depth of the data we are able to display. Additionally, the ability to import data from a broad spectrum of inputs makes this software a "must-have" for any organization that is serious about its reporting capabilities.
Pros
Spotfire is the gold standard when it comes to analyzing and presenting your data in a meaningful way. There are so many robust options and metrics that are at your disposal and once you master the tool, it can really help take your reporting to the next level.
Cons
Admittedly, there is a steep learning curve to mastering this tool, but that is to be expected. Once a basic understanding is reached, I do believe that the use will be able to start using some of the more advanced features in no time.

Tibco Spotfire - An Analytical Tool- Get Actionable Insights
Pros
I personally work on Tibco Spotfire for more than 4 Years. Best things are: 1) Ease of use for all category of users (End user, Developers, Statisticians) 2) Intuitive, Drag Drop 3) Continuous New enhancement in new version so it always remains uptodate with latest trend in technology. Recent example is a "Recommendation" feature which is excellent and enable one as analyst even though you don't know about technology.
Cons
They should come with some cheaper version so that small scale industry and small budget people can take advantage of this product which is so immense powerful.

A good analytics tool
I've used the demo version for a few days, feeding it with some use cases that I normally process with another top-brand tool
Pros
If you are used to BI tools, setup and learning curve are very straightforward. It is very easy to connect to the usual relational data sources, I would say easier than many other rival products. The off-the shelf visualizations are very attracting and some of them can pinpoint data patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. Even better, the visualization wizard actually analyzes your data before suggesting a default visual. Machine learning is built on the tool, by following a simple tutorial you can start training ML models on your data.
Cons
When accessing a data source, you can only join tables, but you cannot - for instance - specify custom SQL instructions. The desktop tool cannot JOIN data sources coming from separate DBs. (a feature that I often use, in a competing product) As I said, there are some very good visualizations, but they are hard or impossible to customize. I found some situations where compiling a dialog box (perhaps with illegal Machine Learning parameters, given my inexperience with the tool) and pressing "OK" did nothing and did not show any error or warning message. Without some informative feedback, these dialogs are unhelpful for the novices.

Good Visualization Product
Having a background in R or Python programming is beneficial to fully using Spotfire's capabilities.
Pros
TIBCO Spotfire can be used to create quick and clean visualization plots. It is not difficult to use and can be easily learned.
Cons
There have been significant changes in the recent versions. Joining data tables could be confusing if not properly paid attention to.

More a visualization tool (interactive), decent BI tool
We were able to help the client visualize their complicated data in an easy to understand format using pie charts, heat map, etc. that they were able to update easily to run different potential scenarios.
Pros
It's a great visualization tool when itegrated with a more robust BI (Business Intelligence) tool. The filtering capibility of this tool are impressive! On a side panel, as you keep applying filters, on the other side, you can easily visualize the results. I remember taking all the training online which was easily available and we were also able to contact a representative for questions. They also help with professional installation.
Cons
I selected and implemented this tool at a cilent site. Where the visualization features were pretty robust, we needed to integrate this with a stronger BI tool to be able to do complicated analytics. It can a bit pricey but it's meant for bigger organizations, hence not that big of a concern.

Good software but not user friendly
Overall, I like using it and will continue to use it. However, I would like a smoother interface.
Pros
Once you learn how to use the software it is very helpful. It is extremely helpful when using CSV files that are too big (too many rows) to use in excel.
Cons
The biggest drawback is that the software has so many functions and buttons, that it is very hard to know how to use all of the buttons. It is kind of overwhelming. It may be helpful if they make the look more simple and consolidate buttons by type (kind f like how has all its functionalities sorted by tabs).

Spotfire is solid visualization software.
Pros
This product is easy to use. The start up is fast, and the visuals are great to work with. I like the front end design elements. Everyone I have demoed Spotfire for has been impressed by the visuals, details on demand, filters, highlighting functions etc. I enjoy developing in Spotfire and learning more and more about it.
Cons
Modifying custom SQL is very finicky in the information services library. For example, after optimizing the SQL in SQL Server, Teradata, etc, you still have to fix the individual elements and joins, which is frustrating because, in my opinion, getting the code correct should be more difficult than jamming it back into the Information Services.

Spotfire is Indispensable for Data Visualization
I use Spotfire to explore and visualize data from clinical trial, economic and financial databases. It is my go to method when exploring new datasets to get the quickest and best insights.
Pros
It is blazingly fast. I work with datasets that have hundreds of thousands of entries, each with dozens of fields. Spotfire makes analyzing this data real time a snap.
Cons
The learning curve is a bit steep, it takes a while to learn how to use it well. But the investment is well worth it.

The analyst version of Tibco Spotfire is quite handly to identify patterns and draw insight from the data visualisation tool.
Pros
- A convenient platform to organising and arranging large volume of data to identify patterns and trends

Works great for creating analytical charts
Spotfire turned out to be a great investment to increate out analytical reporting capabilities, especially automatic to daily reports. Being able to use multiple types of data sources to get the data into a central repository has helped a lot.
Pros
I like being able to combine multiple data sources to create data analysis and charts that reflect complexities that would be difficult to other explain. Using spotfire and automating the reports makes reporting so much easier
Cons
There is a learning curve to setting up and using Spotfire and sometimes it seems as though there is a lot of manual setup that could probably be more easily accomplished with wizards.

Great BI tool for analysts and data scientists
Pros
Spotfire is one of the best BI tool made for real analysts, not only analysis designers. The cross analysis functions are amongst the best with few scripting requirements.Spotfire is definetely a tool for analysing and discovering features: "Searching for something you do not know", instead of mere reporting.
Cons
A bit expensive and less practical than Qlik for quick reports. Spotfire is not the best BI tool for analytics reporting.

Spotfire: intuitive tool for basic visualization
I used Spotfire to visualize the customer revenue for varying plans of pricing my companies product. It was so useful to color code various customer types and understand how their revenue shifted as various pricing rules were applied. This helped my business presentation tremendously, and I appreciated using Spotfire.
Pros
It was so straightforward to learn and apply to basic applications. To learn, I recreated a file that a colleague had already made in order to teach myself the basics. This took about an hour. Then, I was able to play around and make beautiful visualizations!
Cons
There were a few features that were hard for me to figure out -- such as, applying a formula to change what an axis is measuring. This was never intuitive for me, so I would just mess around with the axes until it looked like I wanted it to. Occasionally, this would become frustrating.

Easy to use viz tool, make your colleagues think you're some kind of wizard
Pros
Intuitive data viz software that allows you to build interactive dashboards which tend to dazzle non-technical colleagues. You can build products and share it with your team or leadership and let them explore the data in a controlled, safe environment.
Cons
Not the best software for true statistical analysis but that's probably a given. Also if you have messy datasets you may want to invest in a software to help you transform the data and prep it before integrating into Spotfire.

I like the variety of visualizations, such as pie charts, line graphs, heat maps, cross bars. This helps because some visualizations make more sense to me than others at displaying my data.

This software is very versatile because it allows the user to perform data analysis and make timely decisions based on the tools provided. One of them is the Monte Carlo simulation, a very useful method for calculating the cost of a project.

Powerful and Nimble
Spotfire is a solid viz tool for basic, to advanced analysis needs.
Pros
Spotfire is a powerful data visualization tool and surpassed my original expectations. They have plenty of self service capabilities as well.
Cons
If not using the templates, it can be tough to achieve the visualization you desire. Although, for simple and quick analysis, this fits my needs

Is really good for what you need it to do
Very good experience overall. It does exactly what I need it to.
Pros
Spotfire allows you to quickly identify outliers and explore data with high performance. Along with this is easy to use and has a convenient platform to identify trends and patterns. Spotfire is such a powerful tool that allows you to visualize data in an easy manner.
Cons
Although it is easy to pick up, you will need to look online or consult training manuals for advanced features. It takes a long time to master this program.

Very functional, but it is extremely expensive so our company as a whole is moving away from it
Great dashboards to provide insight into business operations for executive management
Pros
There are great ways to create information links that can be shared between applications. Great visual representations exist to help the layperson understand how data is being connected.
Cons
The user interface and setup isn't the most straightforward thing in the world. Even after using it for a couple of months there was still a lot going on that I didn't understand.

Excellent Viz Software (But Expensive!)
Excellent tool but expensive for first-time firm usage/rollout.
Pros
Excellent software that does a ton of visualizations for you.
Cons
Cost to purchase is at server-level, which is too expensive for firms introducing analytics.

Simple and intuitive
Pros
I like that "recommendation" feature. You simply choose the data items you want to focus on and the tool recommends options for display.
Cons
There is little not too like if you want a simple, intuitive tool to analyze and display large data sets.

Reporting tool with a lot of potential
We have been using this in the company and the adminitrators need the skills to work the query in detail because you can not handle easily after.
Pros
If is a strong tool for reporting and business intelligence, allows many data sources with a hugh potential.
Cons
The visualization is not the strongest thing, charts and graph are not too customizable and easy to read.

A visualization tool with limited functionality
Pros
1. It is easy to use, plug-in, connect and start with visualization 2. Forecasting abilities and connection with R Studio is a plug-n-play feature
Cons
1. GUI is not as great compared to other softwares like Tableau and Power BI 2. Limited data connectors 3. It gets crashed at times and tends to become relatively slower when there's huge datasets to be extracted 4. It is quite expensive
