A Robust Solution with Enhanced Automation and Process Improvement Identification Capabilities
I recommend that users invest more time in the initial setup of the process architecture within the tool. It is crucial to spend time designing how the process architecture works as it significantly impacts how the tool behaves. This upfront investment can prevent the need for extensive reworking later on.
Nattawat Choosuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
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 feature is the integrated manner in which all the capabilities of the Enterprise Process Center platform work together and make it easier to complete the documentation of processes."
"One notable software-related benefit from a user perspective is our improved ability to identify opportunities for automation and process enhancement just by gaining a clearer view of the processes. There are two valuable aspects. First, setting up the process architecture is commendable. Second, not having to maintain different versions of processes is a notable benefit. The solution is stable. The support team is responsive."
"The ability to present data is very effective, providing great impact and good online information."
"Partner support is very good."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, our clients enjoy seeing the data on maps, and you do not need to be an expert in SQL to use it."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"Tableau's ability to manage extensive data, even in an extract format, is noteworthy, as Power BI struggles with that."
"Our customers love the visual capabilities on top of it and the ability to explain and get the required data. There is no other product like Tableau in the business intelligence and analytics space."
"Tableau is quite easy to develop dashboards with, and the range of dashboards is good."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"However, on the process mining side, there's potential for improvement to gain deeper insights into process functionality. Additionally, there's always room for enhancement in the user interface."
"As with all such platforms, Enterprise Process Center is a complex tool and there are many capabilities and features that take time to learn."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"I would like Tableau to handle geospatial data better in terms of multiple layers and shapefiles."
"People are migrating to Microsoft BI due to the speed, which is quite slow to load, and the lack of visualization options."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
"There are not enough language options. It needs to be offered in more than just English."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"The solution does have scalability issues."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My advice for anybody who is implementing this product is to understand what options you believe you are going to want to implement and rollout in the first three to five years, but spend the most time understanding what the set-up costs and pricing will be in the first two or maybe three."
"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."
"We are paying an annual licensing fee."
"In general, if someone is new and wants to learn Tableau, it's around $70 per month."
"I believe it has a lifelong license, and once you purchase it, you don't have to renew it, but I'm not sure."
"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."
"There is a license required, we pay an annual license which is priced fair."
"I'm using Tableau Public, which is free."
"There is a license for the use of this solution and it is on a per-user basis. The server is free but the users you have to pay for."
