Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

The learning curve part could be improved. Once you start using Tableau [Private Offer Only], you do not have a problem, but if you are new, that aspect hits you immediately and confuses you. Additionally, if natural language processing were incorporated, it would make life easier for users looking to quickly get insights from their data. Currently, I am linking KNIME and Tableau [Private Offer Only] because there are many things you can do easily with KNIME, and Tableau Prep could be better. Tableau [Private Offer Only] Prep does impact data readiness, but it is difficult to train others using it compared to using KNIME for data cleansing. It is good if you know what you are doing. I believe the focus should be on improving the AI side of Tableau [Private Offer Only] so I can load my data dictionary and business glossary for better assistance in my analyses. The learning curve for data cleansing is not ideal as it could be. People new to Tableau [Private Offer Only] often confuse dimensions and measures, which could be simplified through explanations or even tooltips.
