We performed a comparison between Actian Ingres and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"Tableau is an advanced specialized tool. One of the best features I've seen is the lack of an intermediate semantic layer. I think that's an advantage compared to any other tool like BusinessObjects or Power BI, which are Tableau's biggest competitors."
"The best use case for us is the solution's integration with Salesforce because we are also partners of Salesforce."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"Technical support has been responsive."
"It's a very good, flexible product, and it's easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature is the drag and drop, then the simplicity to build dashboards which allows us to provide more usable data to our customers."
"I have found many of the self-service features valuable."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"I think Tableau could be improved with cheaper or more flexible licensing, though this is a generic improvement and applies for any product. It would be better if they had more flexible payment and licensing plans so that they could suit small- and mid-sized organizations."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"There are not enough language options. It needs to be offered in more than just English."
"I am a BI consultant. I have worked on different reporting tools, such as Power BI and MicroStrategy. As compared to other tools, Tableau lags behind in handling huge enterprise-level data in terms of robust security and the single integrated metadata concept. When we connect to large or very big databases, then performance-wise, I sometimes found Tableau a little bit slow. It can have the single metadata concept like other tools for the reusability of the objects in multiple reports."
"There should be more widgets that would help less trained individuals create charts with less difficulty."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
