Below we are showcasing a comprehensive overview of our objective BI & Analytics survey of the software vendor TIBCO and its portfolio of products (such as TIBCO Spotfire, TIBCO Jaspersoft and TIBCO Spotfire Server). TIBCO BI & Analytics scores better in our independent study than IBM but slightly worse than Qlik. Of all the categories in our study, TIBCO has the best performance in BI infrastructure and does not have a strong focus on data integration. We have been able to establish this objectively. Within the context of BI & Analytics, we have put together the main advantages and disadvantages of TIBCO Analytics, and present them by component (Business Intelligence, big data, data analytics, AI and data science). We also point out the key functionalities of the software products such as TIBCO Spotfire, TIBCO Jaspersoft and TIBCO Spotfire Server et cetera.

How does TIBCO BI & Analytics score on different parts?

In our survey we looked in detail at the different products of TIBCO software. We examined no less than 720 aspects. The figure below shows the strengths and weaknesses of TIBCO Analytics, compared to the competition. Please note that Passionned Group is 100% independent of the suppliers in our guide. We are not a reseller, we do not make deals or have any ties to the vendor. Among other things, we help and advise companies in the proper selection of BI tooling.

What are the licensing costs of TIBCO Spotfire, TIBCO Jaspersoft and TIBCO Spotfire Server?

And before the end of a fiscal quarter of TIBCO, you may be able to look forward to a decent discount. In addition, we recommend running the software in the cloud, you only pay for the actual use. The purchase cost of TIBCO Spotfire, TIBCO Jaspersoft and TIBCO Spotfire Server may not be the largest amounts, but maintenance and support of course do limit your future investment scope.

Or a certain feature is not (yet) (well) documented.
