Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

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

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"It gives us a new dimension to the way that we analyse our data."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"It is very easy to implement and to use."
"Tableau will automatically show charts for the related data that I choose making it very easy to use."
"The ease of presenting findings is very helpful."
"Tableau Prep tool for data preparation is a most valuable tool."
 

Cons

"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"The development part should be better. We are putting a lot of effort in during development, so if we face any struggles, we have to find workaround solutions on the internet."
"I am not a frequent user of this solution, so I am not sure what they've been doing recently. The last time when I used it, I had to use other tools with it for data extraction and cleansing. Its price should also be improved. It is more expensive than Power BI. In terms of training, there is generally better online training for Power BI, but I am not sure of that. It would be helpful to know from where to access its training."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"The use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates which lead to reinstalling the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version, it would be great."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
"The tool's OpenAI integration was announced last year. However, it is late. Tableau is a good solution for end customers. However, there are some concerns regarding the stability and performance of its server architecture, including SaaS services. The server side appears unstable, and performance issues are noticeable, often accompanied by unclear error messages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive but it depends on the customer's needs which will determine the cost of the licensing."
"Buy 50 at a time. Project your use base every three months, and project your requirements forward."
"Tableau is an expensive solution compared to Power BI."
"Pricing is not bad. It's competitive."
"The price of this solution could definitely be lower. It's quite expensive."
"Tableau has reasonable pricing."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"It is reasonable and cheap as compared to other major tools. It has a good price, and people go for it because of its pricing."
