jKool vs. Spotfire Streaming

JKool is a decent tool for retrieving information regarding user engagement and customer feedback for your software products. With these information it's very valuable stepping stone for us to make future updates or produce new products. However, there are some downsides with jKool, two of which are there are too much clutter in the GUI and it takes sometimes to turn how things work.

Taking data from various sources including files, databases, web services, applying some complex rules, transforming, aggregating and producing a result. This is what Spotfire Streaming does best.
- If one needs connectivity to special services as secured databases or web services, building interactive web apps, those are probably tasks that shall be addressed with different tools.

• Processing events in real-time with real low latency and high throughput.
• 100% visual program language, which can be extended by common languages like Java, Python and .NET.
• Reduced time to prototype, create an application and deployment, which reduces the software lifecycle.
• Real robust engine and server. Barely heard of customers having issues in production.

• Not all problems are suited to the event driven paradigm.
• As the complexity of an application grows, finding your way around code in the GUI takes some getting used to.
• The Spotfire Streaming development environment is built in Eclipse, which is not everyone's cup of tea.

Spotfire Streaming support is prompt and to the point. They help with best practices and learning from existing projects.

No other product that I used is similar to jKool, it's unique product that have good amount of features that I would be opened to invest more in the future if time permit. It still has a long way to go and the first thing it can do is clean up it user interface to make it better.

We are using Dataflow (by Google).The development time in Spotfire Streaming is definitely shorter because its GUI based. Dataflow handles late arrivals after the window closes, not sure Spotfire Streaming can do that. Dataflow can run GCP as a managed service which is why we chose that tool for our new product.

• While we haven't specifically integrated Spotfire Streaming into our product development, it has allowed us to see the benefits of real-time streaming data.
• We have much more visibility into how our longer term roadmap will look and what we should focus on.
