Cost-efficient, good analytics, and stable
Since our application is hosted in the cloud, there is no need for installation. I can simply access the portal and navigate to App Insights for easy access. I give the initial setup a ten out of ten. The deployment took approximately 24 hours to complete due to the large amount of data that had to be transferred. We had about fifteen people involved in the configuration, with two main people taking the lead and the rest on standby in case something happened.

Centralized dashboards have transformed workforce trend analysis and speed up decisions
Tableau Enterprise helps us to consolidate the data and visualize daily and weekly trends in a clear and centralized dashboard, offering powerful features such as interactive dashboards, real-time data refreshing, advanced visual analytics, role-based access control, secure data, and seamless interaction with multiple data sources and automated reports. This will help us to analyze trends and collaborate across teams and scale analytics across the organization. These features help my team specifically by centralizing all employees' data in one place. This helps us reduce manual tracking and gives us real-time visibility into work from home versus office trends. The interactive dashboards allow quick decision-making, and the automated refresh time saves us a lot, while role-based access ensures data is shared securely with the right stakeholders. Tableau Enterprise has had a strong positive impact on our organization by improving data visibility, speeding up decision-making, and managing reports efficiently. The team can now access and track trends more effectively, and collaboration has improved using interactive dashboards. Overall, it has enhanced effectiveness and fostered a data-driven culture across the organization. The specific outcomes showing this positive impact include speeding up decision-making, which is the biggest impact because it saves us more time. Reporting time actually reduces sequentially since the dashboards refresh automatically. Data security is stronger, and data accuracy has improved, thanks to a centralized data source. Decision-making is also much faster since leaders can view real-time impacts instead of waiting for manual entry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is analytics."
"It's a very good, flexible product, and it's easy to learn."
"The drag and drop feature that provides self-service analytics with absolutely no coding is the most important feature."
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"It has allowed a shift from IT-centric enterprise reporting to business-centered development of ad-hoc and enterprise reporting, in partnership with IT."
"The best feature of Tableau is the usability, as it allows a business user to prototype something without going through IT and spending a lot of time and money trying to translate requirements, rapidly developing things that you need to analyze the data."
"The most valuable feature of this product is its visualizations."
"Tableau is pretty good, interface-wise - it's easy to understand and to download data."
"Tableau Desktop simplifies communication between analytics and senior executives."
 

Cons

"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"It’s a very basic thing, but being able to copy and paste data elements from the screen would be nice."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
"Tableau doesn't perform well on big data processes."
"Server scalability and pricing. Tableau was considered but rejected for a large scale in-house analysis and reporting solution."
"The price of this solution could definitely be lower. It's quite expensive."
"It needs a more robust way to connect and share the big-data origin."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."
"We are on an annual license which costs us $1,400 which is very expensive. Microsft BI is less expensive."
"There is a license for this solution and we pay on an annual basis."
"The solution's licensing is based on user-basis. It depends on the business ROI it offers. It's not on the higher side or too cheap; it falls in the medium-cost range. The price is determined by user usage, so the cost will also increase as the number of users increases."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Tableau is the price, it is expensive. The price should be reduced."
"Its price is higher than Power BI and QlikView. Tableau costs around $70 per user per month, whereas Power BI is around $8 to $9. QlikView is around $30. Tableau has various prices for various models such as Creator, Designer."
"Tableau is an expensive solution compared to Power BI."
"ROI is very high, but it requires a data preparation/blending tool."
"The pricing is $70 per month. You have to pay about $800 or something in that ballpark annually for one license."
