    Considered Both Products
    Posit (formerly RStudio)
    Chose Posit
    inter-departmental collaboration - my first choice would be TIBCO Spotfire natural language processing and knowledge graphs - my first choice would be Python information security & visualizations (including d3.js libraries) - my first choice is RStudio

    Chose Posit
    RStudio is code based, so in the beginning tools like Spotfire and Tableau have thier advantages since many things are already built in, but in terms of flexibility RStudio will win over the longer term.

    The cost of RStudio and RStudio Connect is very reasonable [for a] small …

    RStudio is preferable to SPSS and SAS mainly because it is much lower cost to use even having a server license that we pay for the SAS licenses we used to have are too expensive and ultimately we decided to move away from using SAS for our reporting and data modeling needs.

    Chose Posit
    As for now, RStudio has no significant competitors on the market. As I have mentioned before, to date, it is the best possible option to take, if you wish to use R programming language with IDE, because it is the most powerful one.

    For R and Python users, it’s one of the best tool available for developing, testing and deploying products.

    Cost-wise, it's a bigger bang for the buck than other platforms that were evaluated.

    Ease of integration with open source R and mapping feature are positive.

    Chose Spotfire
    Spotfire is significantly ahead of both products from an ETL and data ingestion capability. Spotfire also has substantially better visualizations than Power BI, and although the native visualizations aren't as flexible in Tableau, Spotfire enables users to create completely …

    Chose Spotfire
    Spotfire is the best application for power users by virtue of its wide variety of visualizations, incorporated analytics, superior data canvas, and ability to integrate code such as R or Python. The learning curve is steeper and the menus are Windows 7 once you are past some …

    Chose Spotfire
    The latest version of Spotfire enables users to join data without any friction. For example, if the column in one table has different prefixes and/or postfixes, the tool would automatically join the two tables together without causing any potential debugging alarm or issues …

    I feel Tableau is more rigid and not flexible compared to Spotfire. I feel that difference while working with retail data that has more than 10 million records. On Tableau, it took almost 10 minutes to open up a report. Whereas Spotfire did this in a minute. Our data is also …

    Again coding in R is not very comfirtable for all. Spotfire makes playing with data really easy.

    I've used Microsoft PowerBI in the past and it was a pleasant experience. The UI was very intuitive and had a MS Office-like vibe, which made the introduction quite smooth at the beginning. As I started using it more and more, it became clear to me that PowerBI's analytical …

    IBM Cognos plays a bigger role at our company and Spotfire is still catching up to it in terms of automation, security, etc.

    I have not really used it so much...my impression was that Spotfire has a better processing engine for large data, while Tableau delivers a more beautiful display of data.
