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."Data discovery is very simple."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"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."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
