    Considered Both Products
    Spotfire
    Chose Spotfire
    Although Spotfire has a longer learning curve, it has proven to be more practical and impactful than Tableau. We had only evaluated other tools at a high level initially, and were surprised to hear the success stories of companies moving from Tableau to Spotfire. We have found …

    Chose Spotfire
    We also use Tableau in our organization. The advantage we see in Spotfire is that customizations are better. Both the tools are suitable for business users. Devart Excel Add-ins also don't have the level of customizations and visuals compared to Spotfire. Spotfire has better …

    Chose Spotfire
    One of the best features in Spotfire is the capability to export the analysis to make it run in a web browser without losing the core interactive and filtering functionality making it available to anyone without having to install any software. This characteristic can represent …
    Incentivized
    Chose Spotfire
    Spotfire is good for Engineering apps, but not a good tool when doing financial data. Spotfire was selected because my company uses more engineering tools for reporting.

    Chose Spotfire
    • More user friendly Interface.
    • Easier to configure the access to data bases and other data types.
    • Easier to build aggregations within the graphs.
    Incentivized
    Chose Spotfire
    Simpler platform administration and execution. Due to cloud deliverable there was not a need for viewer for end users; superior predictive modeling.

    Tableau
    Chose Tableau Cloud
    Spotfire can do similar things, but Tableau's plots are prettier in my opinion. However, if one needs to perform complex calculations on the data first, Spotfire can do it better than Tableau. So, it depends on the task at hand.
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Cloud
    Tableau does a great job compared to all of these mentioned tools. Other tools also have a great shape-up of dashboards but obviously all have their advantages and disadvantages. The reason Tableau has an edge over all the other tools is because of its excellent visual design …
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Cloud
    I believe Tableau is better for less experienced users. It is a straighforward interface for checking the dashboards.
    Incentivized
    Chose Tableau Cloud
    Tableau Online is much simpler than other Business Intelligence tools such as SAS and SAP Lumira. While SAS allows you to create algorithms to display a set, Tableau Online provides a more friendly user interface for ease of access. Although it does not stack up too well with …
