Find out what your peers are saying about Workday, Oracle, SAP and others in Benefits Administration."The solution is stable."
"Analysis is now more visual than in the past."
"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."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"One of the most valuable features of Tableau is that it's a visual analytics solution, not just a dashboarding solution. Compared to Power BI, which is a dashboarding solution, there are no limitations with Tableau. For example, when you add a chart or a map to Power BI, it has a 3,000-point limitation. When you try to track your whole vehicle on the map, you only see the first 3,000 rows on the map, and Power BI doesn't tell you which part of the data is shown on the map. But Tableau doesn't have any limitations, which means that you can see five million data points on a map. It starts the project by creating the visuals that directly converts to SQLs. In that way, all the components have no limitations. When we compared Tableau to Power BI, we also found Tableau to be more fancy. Fancy means you can create more visual graphics and more visual dashboards. With Power BI, this isn't so—it's just some tables and some simple charts together. Tableau is more for business users who want to analyze data. Tableau can directly connect the analytics systems, like R or Titan, and get the results in screen, so it's a good solution for analytics scientists. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data."
"Easy to create graphs and visualizations."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"This solution has improved insights into quantitative data."
"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."
"SAP BusinessObjects has some semantic layer designs that give the flexibility to do ad hoc reporting or dashboard designing. If that can be brought into Tableau, it would be great. We have the data in the database, but we should also be able to bring something between the database and the dashboard and do some semantic layer modeling for ad hoc reporting requirements."
"Firstly, the high cost of Tableau licenses makes it inaccessible for many mid-scale clients. Secondly, the server requires at least 128GB of RAM, which can be impractical for some systems. We need a dedicated system to use Tableau."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"Tableau support could be improved."
"I would like Tableau to handle geospatial data better in terms of multiple layers and shapefiles."
"With Tableau, there is a gap in its ability to handle very large-scale data."
