TIBCO Spotfire Reviews
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.
Comprehensive Analytics Tool
Once I had some training on Spotfire, I never looked back and use it frequently when processing large amounts of data.
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.

Spotfire is perhaps the best big data and data visualization software to work with R
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.
Spotfire for Life Science
Pros
ability to quickly identify outliers in the datasets
Cons
support documentation for external domain authentication is lacking for advanced infrastructure
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.
