Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very stable."
"The most valuable features are ad hoc reporting and the ability to create dashboards."
"It is a good tool to help our customers visually see loads of data."
"It is a reliable solution for our needs."
"It's user-friendly, also the MTDI cube is a very good approach, as it helps you to use the pre-format instead of using the standard objects from the schema of MicroStrategy."
"It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"Our primary use case is to deliver all data insights to our company."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"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."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"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."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"MicroStrategy is not cloud native today and some of their APIs are a little limiting."
"The areas that have room for improvement in MicroStrategy are mainly related to building additional tools. Specifically, the embedding process has been a bit of a struggle."
"Native VI on mobile apps and better android support are lacking."
"If there are some advanced visualization features - maybe I'm not aware of them - but if there were a Vitara which could work on top of MicroStrategy, it would make sense for MicroStrategy to have that within their own library. So they should add more visualizations to the library."
"It is actually pretty complicated to use. It is complicated enough that user adaptation is sometimes difficult. We developed more experts rather than people using it."
"From a stability standpoint, from MicroStrategy, I would say it's fairly consistent. I would give it a "B" because there are times where we have issues that are just inexplicable. They go away and then we have no resolution. To me, that's not acceptable. There are just times where our users can't access things and we're not sure why, and that's a problem to me."
"I don't think that they will, but I'd like to see parallel processing, scalable parallel processing."
"I know we are not competing against Tableau, but MicroStrategy needs to step up its game on the GUI side."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"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."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"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 solution might be generic."
