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

"Has an APM, which deals with the details of data and has calculation functions included."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CCH Tagetik is form creation."
"The ability for integration and automatic loading from the Oracle system into CCH Tagetik is very valuable."
"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"The customer service and support for Tableau in Thailand are excellent."
"It's very easy to visualize data with this product. The visualization maps of and frames that we have been able to cross-reference has been excellent."
"Gradual scalability from simple to complex situations"
"Tableau is easy to use. That's the first and most important thing. I not only provide consulting but I also train people to use it, so with its ease-of-use it's not as difficult for me to train executives and management staff, because they don't have the IT background, unlike when I'm using Python."
"There are already connectors to almost every single major database and service that you can possibly think of."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
 

Cons

"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."
"We faced difficulties while uploading data."
"There is room for improvement, especially on the settings side of the solution."
"The tool's major drawback is the ETL process, which is not up to par with other solutions."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"Tableau could be more intuitive. It has all the features, but it is difficult to find them."
"I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"I am a BI consultant. I have worked on different reporting tools, such as Power BI and MicroStrategy. 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. When we connect to large or very big databases, then performance-wise, I sometimes found Tableau a little bit slow. It can have the single metadata concept like other tools for the reusability of the objects in multiple reports."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
"It should offer better features for customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The cost is high."
"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."
"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."
"It is a bit difficult for some people when they hear $70.00 per month, as some solutions are available for less than $10.00 or for free."
"In general, if someone is new and wants to learn Tableau, it's around $70 per month."
"Tableau is an expensive solution."
"The price of this solution could definitely be lower. It's quite expensive."
"The price is definitely a point because smaller firms don't use Tableau as it's an expensive tool."
