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

"Flexibility of report configuration; allows for quick and simple amendments to definitions."
"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."
"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."
"Extremely stable and reliable, and easy to install."
"Do take time to learn the solution, because Tableau has a lot of features, a lot of complex visualization features that can make the visualization pretty powerful."
"Customer service and technical support are very good."
"The solution is configurable and flexible, we can customize the dashboards and configure the interface the way that we want, and the data can be manipulated and arranged in different ways, such as columns."
"The geospatial maps representation and the visualizations are nice."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"Tableau is easy to use, provides us with faster development and deployment, and produces impressive graphs and charts."
"Tableau Prep tool for data preparation is a most valuable tool."
"Tableau has allowed us to combine and visualize data from many entry points and provide users with a single source of consistent and reliable information."
 

Cons

"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. 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)."
"In v8.1 there was a problem with big Excel files - for ex: if you have an Excel spreadsheet with three sheets and more then 300,000 rows in each one and you want to add it as one datasource linked by one key field - your Tableau Desktop will be very slowly."
"Tableau 8.3 did not scale properly."
"Technical support through Tableau’s online forum might not be sufficient sometimes but somehow, I've always managed to overcome issues without calling support."
"Pricing is costly when compared to products like Microsoft Power BI. Also, the licensing should be more general."
"Provide additional enhancements in any business process: Operations, Marketing and Sales, Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, etc."
"The solution requires a lot of user training before reports can be created."
"In my experience most (all) enterprise-scale clients have multiple, entrenched BI reporting tools that Tableau will have a tough time to displace."
"Sometimes have issues with stability which are dependent on network bandwidth, latency and user logon from multiple browsers"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Pricing is reasonable, licensing model suitable for large enterprises."
"The cost of the solution should be improved."
"I believe it has a lifelong license, and once you purchase it, you don't have to renew it, but I'm not sure."
"I downloaded the solution online for free."
"I'm using Tableau Public, which is free."
"I like the payment model. For the people who need to create, they buy their licenses. Everyone else can use the free Tableau Viewer. This is much better than some of the competitor products, which require full licences for everything."
"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 has reasonable pricing."
"There is a license for this solution and we pay on an annual basis."
