"The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues."
"This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves."
"The ability to design complex data models and equations."
"Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like."
"Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation."
"The solution is free so that is a good feature."
"I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts."
"The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources."
"It mostly supports enterprise level data. We have millions of records on a daily basis."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"It is easy to create a report quickly. It does not take much time to create an ad hoc report."
"It's easy to use for business analysts."
"Its robustness is most valuable. It can handle massive amounts of data quickly. If it's properly configured and tuned, it can handle massive amounts of data very quickly to produce results. That to me is the number one feature."
"Oracle OBIEE is a scary and stable product since it is a strong and well-created tool... In short, the solution is stable since it works properly every day."
"The solution has great reporting and forecasting capabilities."
"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."
"All features are valuable. It is very user-friendly, and it is mostly drag-and-drop. If we have the dataset available, then we can develop any dashboard very quickly."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"The best use case for us is the solution's integration with Salesforce because we are also partners of Salesforce."
"Tableau is a fantastic tool that provides impressive dashboards and customized reports."
"The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI."
"Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful."
"When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements."
"There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size."
"Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base."
"It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool."
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."
"There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos."
"An area for improvement is that Oracle pushes more users to Oracle BI Publisher rather than emphasizing Oracle OBIEE for reporting. The pricing for Oracle OBIEE could be improved."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"Its overall organization as an analytical tool, the layout of OBIEE, is not very good."
"The complexity of this product means that you need to have a technical team to develop the reports, although this is also true for products like Microsoft BI and Zoho."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"It needs a better security management system."
"Improvements can be made in template support. The workbook file structure is really hard to version control. If there was some sort of version control support offered particularly for workbooks, that would help big time."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"Lacks customization in some areas."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
"If they could add global filters in the stories, more chart types, and default colours, it would help."
"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."
