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."
"Rapid visualization of data Interactive views connecting multiple data sources Reduces need for IT cycles (hours vs. weeks to create report) Ability to analyze problems quickly Ability to share reports and analyses quickly"
"For a large company, the ROI is really fast."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"As an organization, we were able to bring in more people to use our platform because it was easy to use and helped business teams make quick decisions."
"Customer service has been excellent."
"It has been the best tool to work with from a self-service point of view."
"Customer service and technical support are very good."
"The extremely intuitive and user-friendly UI helps naive users easily click and connect, drag and drop, and build fantastic visualizations."
 

Cons

"The UI of the solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"Sometimes have issues with stability which are dependent on network bandwidth, latency and user logon from multiple browsers"
"It has some shortcomings: Not very well-made dashboard designing, lack of formatting options, and sometimes not enough operating speed while working with huge amount of data."
"I would like Tableau to handle geospatial data better in terms of multiple layers and shapefiles."
"There is a pretty steep learning curve, the product would be better if it were somehow more intuitive to use."
"This is because we are using it and it has a steep learning curve. It's not user-friendly."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-efficient and I give it an eight out of ten."
"There is a license for this solution and we pay on an annual basis."
"The price is definitely a point because smaller firms don't use Tableau as it's an expensive tool."
"Tableau is an expensive solution."
"In Korea, the tool's pricing depends on the scale of usage. For instance, it's reasonable for a department with fewer than 50 users to adopt Tableau, like sales. However, the pricing becomes an issue when considering an enterprise solution for a larger user base, say 10,000 people."
"There is a license required, we pay an annual license which is priced fair."
"For big business, Tableau could be expensive as having a lot of Tableau server users (entering with a browser to reports) could be a bit expensive."
"I rate the product price in the Indian region a seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"I recommend that you discuss your needs with the salesperson and try to negotiate the price."
