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."
"Better interaction and less time spent with end users."
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"Overall, Tableau is a very good tool."
"The most valuable features of Tableau include building hyper extracts and creating visuals."
"Tableau serves as a stable dashboarding tool for higher management, aiding in quick decision-making."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"Scheduled extract and the multiple connectors are fantastic!"
"The product offers an intuitive user interface, detailed screens and widgets, and the absence of data limitations"
 

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."
"Implementation requires a technical background."
"The look and feel of the tool itself, including the dashboard features and data visualization, could be improved. The graphs in Tableau also have room for improvement."
"Provide additional enhancements in any business process: Operations, Marketing and Sales, Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, etc."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
"It should offer better features for customization."
"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."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
"The data preparation could integrate better with Tableau."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Best advice on pricing is to anticipate the desire for more licenses once the results of this product are acknowledged in other parts of your company."
"Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."
"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."
"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."
"The pricing of Tableau should be better to remain competitive in the market, especially when compared to alternatives."
"The professional version of Tableau is quite expensive."
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. My guess would be that it is $1000 or less per year. We might go for Power BI in the future because of its umbrella with Microsoft licensing. It is much cheaper for us to use Power BI, and some folks will go in that direction because they don't want to pay the higher license."
"The solution is very expensive. If you have many users then it is going to cost your company a lot of money."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau.
