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).
Uzair Faruqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization
Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having one repository for various output formats and retention periods, with 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, is very efficient."
"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."
"Flexibility of report configuration; allows for quick and simple amendments to definitions."
"Extremely stable and reliable, and easy to install."
"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."
"I think that Tableau's features are much better than those of OBIEE and although Microsoft BI has better performance, Tableau is still the one that I like the best."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"I like Tableau's heat maps and the storyboard; you can create data stories and tons of visuals with it, and it goes together really well, and Tableau lets you manipulate the data in various ways."
"The product is probably not very suitable for standard corporate reporting, but if your users need analytical insight to data, it is an excellent solution."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"Tableau was able to handle the challenges that we've had, in terms of reporting and analytics, and it's flexible enough so that you can bring in other data and be able to quickly marry that data with what you have, report on it, and be able to tell the story that the business wants fairly quickly."
"It's intuitive and highly mature."
"Our company used Cognos Planner and a few other BI solutions before, and Tableau is less expensive and easier to use, making it an easy choice to make the switch."
 

Cons

"Needs ability to allow export to xls/pdf, etc. (Note: this is available in add-on product CA – OM Web Viewer)."
"I work with the developers so I get what I want built into the project."
"A common theme with all CA products is they state compatibility with new technologies when it has not yet been proven."
"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."
"Needs ability to allow export to xls/pdf, etc. (Note: this is available in add-on product CA – OM Web Viewer)."
"With data exploding exponentially, handling huge data that runs into billions of records is still a concern at an enterprise level."
"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."
"I would like the solution to have certain features allowing the delivery of reports to the email."
"Tableau loses to the competition because of price."
"Overall, the only major frustration that I have had so far is with Tableau Public. I first used Tableau Public when I was building capacity, and when there was a later release to download and you wanted to upgrade, all your work would have to be manually re-entered."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
"Similarly, in Power BI, for integrating with the latest ML algorithms, we have decision trees and primarily multiple machine learning algorithms. We don't have such a feature in Tableau."
"Price is not cheap...not awful though."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Pricing is reasonable, licensing model suitable for large enterprises."
"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."
"In Indian Rupees, Tableau costs about 30,000 to 40,000 per year."
"ROI is very high, but it requires a data preparation/blending tool."
"We always consider pricing when considering a new solution. We are a non-profit and price is a huge concern."
"The pricing of Tableau should be better to remain competitive in the market, especially when compared to alternatives."
"Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."
"The product's price is relatively inexpensive and manageable for enterprise-level companies."
"If they want to be competitive in the market, the price must be improved."
