Pros
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability.

It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better.""The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness.""The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python.""The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor.""The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great.""All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."

"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.""Data discovery is very simple.""This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard.""It’s stable and straightforward.""The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization.

You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good.""The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features.""Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."

Cons
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality.""The interface could be improved.""In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI.""There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients.""There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search.""A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data.""Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes.""The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."

More Alteryx Cons →

"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""Personalising Spotfire, as a whole, is painful and is something that could be made easier.""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.""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.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""The data compression has room for improvement."
