    Chose Qlik Sense
    The associative data model made an unexpected effect when in a pilot application that allowed users to find new and non-trivial patterns in supplied data sets. Surely TIBCO Spotfire is a great tool with incredible statistical and forecasting possibilities but everything is for …

    Manager in Information Technology at SDG Group Italy (Information Technology & Services, 201-500 employees)
    Chose Qlik Sense
    Qlik Sense is one of the best reporting systems. It is stronger than PBI and Tableau when speaking about complex KPIs. It is really similar to MicroStrategy Analytics when you speak about obtained results, but it is easier to use, especially as it is more code-based. But is it …

    Chose Qlik Sense
    Analyzing data on Tibco is very fluent. Making maps and setting up data classification (within the map) is very easy. The user experience in Tibco is well suited; it took me 5-6 minutes to set up charts, pies and maps. Statistical functions and analysis could be done easily on …

    Chose Spotfire
    Spotfire is better at visualizations than Qlik Sense and more intuitive and friendly than QlikView, but it´s worst than both of them in ETL and associative engine.

    Director, Advanced Analytics and Data Science at GOJO, Inc. (Hospital & Health Care, 1001-5000 employees)
    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 …

    Well, Spotfire was the only tool which could handle our data, we had over 100 Mio rows of data and with Spotfire you could navigate through the dashboard very fast. This was our killer feature. It also makes very nice and modern charts.

    Within our use cases Spotfire is preferred due to the ability to manage live data as well as big data in an appropriate time. It is also much better in statistics and advanced analytics.

    Chose Spotfire
    I have access to tools mentioned above, but I use Spotfire most, because most colleagues I'm working with have Spotfire access, and sharing data and visulization in Spotfire is the most convenient way.

    We used MS BI, Qlik and also a homegrown application. While some of these did have features Spotfire was the easiest to implement and manage.

    Chose Spotfire
    I don't have too much experience on the alternative tools, but I know Spotfire can perform very well some statistics function in conjunction with TERR. Tableau for example, has more beautiful ways to construct a dashboard and most of time this is why people choose to use it. …
