Resolver ITIBCO Spotfire vs Power BI
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
