Overall I'm extremely happy with Spotfire. They continue to listen to analyst on how to improve the platform and turn out new versions frequently. I would pick Spotfire over any BI platform on the market.
Pros
Flexibility, Data prep and data wrangling abilities within the platform. Spotfire will allow any end user to enhance their data discovery which will allow for faster decision making.
Cons
More customers should be using Spotfire. More capabilities than the two leading BI platforms on the market but they unfortunately own the market share. I've never met anyone that has used Spotfire that hasn't agreed Spotfire is a better tool. Spotfire's marketing strategy could use some work.

Decent software, however with some improvements with the interface could be excellent. Would recommend when dealing with large amounts of data.
Pros
The range of different data analysis paths and visualisations available for use. Useful with large amounts of data.
Cons
Learning curve is very steep and sometimes the written help isn't as accessible. Very confusing interface and sometimes can crash.

Great visualization tool for large data sets!
Reviewed on 2020/01/16
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.

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.
