User-friendly performance management with intuitive approach
I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy. In many organizations, there's a mix of IT professionals and business users with varying levels of technical expertise. One of the strengths of the solution includes a feature similar to SmartView, is that it allows users to work with Excel. Since Excel is a widely familiar tool, it reduces the learning curve and makes it more accessible to a broader audience within the organization. The workflow feature within the solution is particularly valuable. It simplifies complex processes into a step-by-step sequence, making it easy for users to follow along.
Nattawat Choosuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data connection enhances workflow and decision-making process
An area for improvement in Tableau is the Explorer license type. It is not as useful, and the product owner should enhance its benefits or clarify its role. Additionally, the frequent updates with many versions available for download can be confusing and could affect stability. They should avoid providing access to older versions on their website.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I appreciate its user-friendliness, especially for business users who may not be very tech-savvy."
"I've primarily worked with CCH Tagetik as a consultant, handling implementations and not providing day-to-day user support. I initially appreciated the unified platform, the Ownership Structure Register, which benefits certain entities. The workflow feature is great, but it can become overly detailed and lacks clear guidance on design. The solution is good in terms of storage."
"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"The ability for integration and automatic loading from the Oracle system into CCH Tagetik is very valuable."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"It is very easy to implement and to use."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"It is definitely easy to use. It is intuitive, and more or less, everything can be done from the front end. As such, there is no concept of metadata. You can just take data from a database and start building your own stuff, such as OLAP data warehouse. You don't need extensive metadata modeling like Oracle BI."
"Tableau is extremely good at dashboard creation, providing clear and concise visual presentations."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"Partner support is very good."
"Tableau's most valuable features are its ability to summarize data, provide dynamic controls for navigating different charts, and showcase historical data trends. I appreciate the option to colour-code different charts for improved customer experience."
"Since Tableau is on the cloud, we haven't faced any challenges around scalability."
 

Cons

"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"Analytics function is weak. Other products have sum(irate) function and forecasting help function, but Tagetik does not have this clarity."
"There is a need for improvement in the ability to generate all reports from one click, like both P&L and balance sheets, to be available together in Excel."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"We would like a report model, because currently there is no schema that we can create in the tool."
"Creating empty extracts is not easy."
"From a downside perspective, some of the more advanced modeling techniques are actually fairly difficult to do. In addition, I just fundamentally disagree with the way you have to implement them because you can get incorrect answers in some cases."
"The performance could be better."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"In general, if someone is new and wants to learn Tableau, it's around $70 per month."
"I believe it has a lifelong license, and once you purchase it, you don't have to renew it, but I'm not sure."
"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."
"It is fairly expensive. I have no idea what they paid. We were on an enterprise license, so whatever it is they licensed at the enterprise level is what we paid."
"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."
"Paying for users you never setup or buying expensive desktop licenses for users who can solve their users with web editing on the server are the two biggest expenses."
"Tableau is an expensive solution, though it comes with its advantages."
"There is a license for the use of this solution and it is on a per-user basis. The server is free but the users you have to pay for."
