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 of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
"It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part"
"The most valuable features of Tableau include building hyper extracts and creating visuals."
"Tableau Prep tool for data preparation is a most valuable tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"Self-service is most valuable. Users can pick up quickly and do the resolution. There are a lot of out-of-the-box features, and it satisfies most of the needs. If users are properly trained, they can deal with any situation."
"Tableau reduces manual labor and resources, providing cost-effective solutions for our operations."
"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."
 

Cons

"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
"If I have to develop any, for example, pie charts, I can develop them just fine. However, if I have to develop a donut chart, that I cannot do it in a simple way. There are tricks that I need to use if I have to design a donut chart. It should be more flexible and provide more visualization options."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"Tableau could be more intuitive. It has all the features, but it is difficult to find them."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Buy 50 at a time. Project your use base every three months, and project your requirements forward."
"The pricing for Tableau is the same as the other products in the market."
"It is a bit overpriced."
"Its cost is quite high. A corporate license costs about 150-200K per year for all the users, but there was probably some discounted amount. This cost includes everything."
"In Indian Rupees, Tableau costs about 30,000 to 40,000 per year."
"Tableau is free."
"Its licensing cost should be improved."
