Gives us one repository for various output formats and retention periods
A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven. Much like other technology companies that have fallen into this trap, let feature and compatibly releases be controlled by the technical group, instead of the marketing and/or management people. I cite the example that CA mainframe products were deemed to be compatible with Extended Address Volumes (EAV) - larger sized disk volumes - when they were not. I have been doing this for 37 years and see it all too often, sometimes to the detriment of the company itself (Storage Technology Corp. and its Iceberg array comes to mind).

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 benefits are that it keeps their information for over 40 to 50 years, so in essence it's a digital bank for customer information."
"Extremely stable and reliable, and easy to install."
"Flexibility of report configuration; allows for quick and simple amendments to definitions."
"Having one repository for various output formats and retention periods. Provides the flexibility to establish hundreds of different retention entries, based upon business need, and then group the like retention period outputs together on the same media. It is very efficient."
"This solution has transformed us from an Excel reporting environment to one of visual exploration."
"If you want to analyze data, discover insights, communicate your story with data, or impress your customers with great visualizations, Tableau is by far the best tool."
"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"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"
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"It's very easy to set everything up."
 

Cons

"A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven. I cite the example that CA mainframe products were deemed to be compatible with Extended Address Volumes (EAV) - larger sized disk volumes - when they were not."
"I work with the developers so I get what I want built into the project."
"Needs ability to allow export to xls/pdf, etc. (Note: this is available in add-on product CA – OM Web Viewer)."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience."
"Calculated fields are relatively simple and may leave a user wanting."
"If it had a semantic layer, it would be great."
"Pace of improvement to product has slowed."
"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."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"We need big servers to perform the operations that we are doing. They should probably relook at its architecture."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Pricing is reasonable, licensing model suitable for large enterprises."
"Tableau is an expensive solution compared to Power BI."
"Tableau has reasonable pricing."
"Tableau's prices are relatively high for our market. I am from Serbia, so many companies in this market don't have the ability to pay for expensive software. My clients are quite satisfied with a lot of Tableau's qualities except for the prices."
"Its licensing cost should be improved."
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. My guess would be that it is $1000 or less per year. We might go for Power BI in the future because of its umbrella with Microsoft licensing. It is much cheaper for us to use Power BI, and some folks will go in that direction because they don't want to pay the higher license."
"This license is on a yearly basis."
"Its price is reasonable. Everything is included in the license."
