TIBCO Spotfire vs Power BI

[rlansing]

Hello,

My company is doing research into what visualization program to use. I personally prefer Power BI due to the ease of use; however, the DAX language has taken awhile to figure out. I see Spotfire uses S+ as its calculation language. Does anyone have experience with both? Can you help me compare and contrast the two products? Obviously the price difference is huge, but what else about either product makes it preferred?

Thank you!

Bobby

But the fact is that each product still has positions of leadership. Spotfire is best at advanced dashboard functionality,  and Power BI is also superior in numerous ways. Some of them are listed below

• Absolute control of rabid Excel users (especially in Finance and Accounting roles) will find an easy in for Power BI.
• The price (free), elegant graphics (D3) and automated dashboard abilities are super for new users.
• This product also have a strong R integration .
