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."
"A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool."
"Tableau's performance is really good, and it is adding new features."
"Tableau has data relationships that can be applied to a data source which helps build out a directory which is helpful. Data blending has also been valuable to us."
"Show Me is a feature to help with knowing which chart is an appropriate one for the selected variables, and it makes helps in creating appropriate visuals."
"It is easy to use, and it can handle a large amount of data."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"Visualization attributes: Marks – Color, Size, Label, etc.. Easily Accessible and Intuitive."
"The solution has great features which nobody can beat, you can do a lot of customizations, such as use different dimensions and colorize them. Additionally, you can use the numeric values for the customization, which is an exceptional feature."
 

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."
"Tableau support could be improved."
"When it comes to large datasets, the data should be extracted faster."
"There are not enough language options. It needs to be offered in more than just English."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name."
"Licensing and pricing options could be made better so that more users would be able to use it."
"When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay for the enterprise license for Tableau. The licensing could be cheaper and more flexible."
"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."
"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."
"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."
"The license is very expensive."
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"Its price is reasonable. Everything is included in the license."
"Tableau has core-based and user-based licensing, and it is tied to scalability. The core-based licensing is about you buying a certain number of cores, and there is no restriction on the number of users who can use Tableau. The restriction is only on the number of cores. In user-based subscription licensing, there is a restriction on the number of users. Big companies and government organizations with a lot of users typically go for core-based licensing. User-based subscription licensing is a more common model. It has user roles such as creator, explorer, and viewer. A creator is someone who does the groundwork or development work. An explorer is someone who is into middle management but is not technically savvy, such as a category head. A viewer is like a typical decision-maker in senior management. For each role, Tableau is priced differently. The viewer role has the minimum price, and the creator role has the highest price. This pricing is available on their website. Everybody can see it."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
After a recent presentation, several attendees asked me about the applications of Visual Insights and Tableau. Many companies are investing in both tools and are trying to figure out the right tool for specific applications Tableau has found its sweet-spot as an agile discovery tool that analysts…
