We performed a comparison between ELK Kibana and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."Having a tool where you can find logs that were generated months ago, and being able to search over a long period of time, is great."
"The automatic update of the graphs from a dashboard is very convenient."
"The optimization and flexibility of visualization tools."
"You are able to see and follow trends."
"The best part about Tableau is the visualization."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"Any feature I am looking for usually is part of the next upgrade within a few months. They have a very good dynamic evolution."
"You can create attractive dashboards that inform users using Tableau."
"The ability of filtering and segmentation of the data makes it very flexible compared to other tools."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the general dashboard features."
"This solution should allow the user to combine two indices into one graph."
"Having a kind of wizard that would help you when you are typing your search would make it easier and quicker to refine your search, and ultimately find what you are looking for."
"Security could be improved thereby avoiding the necessity of a third party plugin."
"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."
"The forecasting feature in Tableau in my view is too limited because it must have dates but I should be able to predict the outcome of an event without having a date as part of the input."
"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 data preparation could integrate better with Tableau."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"I have used Power BI as well as Tableau. There are a couple of interesting features that I like in Power BI, but they are not present in Tableau. For example, in Power BI, if I am looking at country-wise population, I can type and ask for the country that has the maximum population, and it will automatically give an answer and address that query. This kind of feature is not there in Tableau. Similarly, in Power BI, for integrating with the latest ML algorithms, we have decision trees and primarily multiple machine learning algorithms. The decision tree essentially visualizes the patterns in the data. We don't have such a feature in Tableau. If Tableau can integrate with the machine learning algorithms and help us to do visualizations, it would be a wonderful combination. Most of the people are going for Tableau primarily for visualization purposes. However, in the data science industry, users want to do model building as well as tell a story. As of now, Tableau is fulfilling the requirements for visualization purposes. If they can bring it up to a level where I can use it for machine learning purposes as well as for visualization, it would be very helpful. Many people who want to do data science don't want to write a code. Tableau is anyway a drag and drop tool, and if they can provide those options as well, it will be a powerful combination."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
