We performed a comparison between Meraki Location Analytics and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"Technical support has always been very good."
"Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good. It is a very good tool, and it basically brings life into data with good design. We have been creating a lot of interactive visualizations and dashboards. It has a public version. There are public communities from where you can get a lot of examples for practice."
"Its visualizations are good, and its features make the development process a little less time-consuming. It has an in-memory extract feature that allows us to extract data and keep it on the server, and then our users can use it quickly."
"Its dashboarding is the most valuable. It is easy to create visualizations and dashboards and import Excel sheets and ESP files in Tableau as compared to other tools."
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"Technical support has been responsive."
"It’s good for quick visualization and being able to quickly consume unstructured data to play around with."
"Since Tableau is on the cloud, we haven't faced any challenges around scalability."
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. The other thing that I never liked about Tableau is its ability to handle large sets of data. To present the data in the dashboards, we have to stage it up exactly like it is going to come into the dashboard. We use another tool called Alteryx that does that for us. So, we manipulate the data, get it staged, and then push it into Tableau. Tableau is terrible at handling large data sets, and we knew right away that we couldn't use Tableau to do data manipulation."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."
"They need to improve the icons and the filters, because they look too old, resembling Excel from 1997."
