"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 out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It’s stable and straightforward."

"We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost."

"Version control would be a good addition."
"Deployment is not simple. It is not simple because we are dealing with a lot of data; we are dealing with a lot of storage. So, it's not a simple process."
"Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"The solution might be generic."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"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 Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."
