TIBCO
Spotfire
SAP
SAP
Analytics Cloud
Self Service BI (Business)
• Lack of features with
non-SAP data sources
• No data preparation
options for Live
connections
• Scripting is an
important
component, which
contributes to longer
deployment cycles
• Dependency on
Discovery for data
preparation and self-
service
• Size limitation when
acquiring the data
from the source
• No modelling options
for Live connections
• Cannot perform
intensive data
preparation
• Unable to inherit
folder structure from
SAP BIP
• Lack of desktop tool
for offline use
• Basic predictive
functions
• Web based
authoring depends
on Microsoft or
Azure based data
• Row level data
security needs to
be replicated
within the tool
• DAX scripting can
get complicated
• Inferior
connectivity to SAP
BW using MDX that
leads to limitations
• Pricing can be
expensive
• Certain charts are
not available out of
the box and
require work
arounds
• Dependency on
Hyper data extracts
for better
performance,
which requires
replication of data
and security
• Lack of formatted
Excel and Power
Point output
• Scripting to
acquire data can
get complex and
less intuitive
• Heavy
customizations
reduce the
adoption among
business users
for self-service
• Lack of features

increases the
chances of
importing the data
• No integrated
planning features
• Depends on SAP
Universe for lot of
connectivity options,
which requires
additional modelling.
• Lack of modern BI
features like
predictive/planning
• Primary use case is
