Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"We have scheduled reports delivered automatically to our business users using enterprise features."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The security is good. For example, we can implement column-level security."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"The most valuable features are the lexical parameters and distribution."
"The setup isn't too difficult."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting."
"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"It is very easy to implement and to use."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"The use of a storyboard helps the flow of the data visualisation."
"Tableau is easy to use and it has great predictive 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."
"The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now."
"The solution deployment was straightforward."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"The performance could be better."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"It crashes when many people login simultaneously."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"The pricing of the solution should be bettered."
"It was a little bit tedious to install a new release."
"Essbase integration needs to be worked on."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"We would like a report model, because currently there is no schema that we can create in the tool."
"The price could be better."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"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."
"The extraction, transformation and loading of data in Tableau takes a lot of time and we do not have confidence that Tableau is showing all the data we need."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
"I also work as an SME on the platform side. Tableau is very nice and jazzy for the end-users, but there are pain points for the admins. Performance is something about which we hear a lot of complaints, such as the dashboard doesn't open in time. It performs well on the desktop but not on the server. I know that there is always a limitation when it comes to a huge amount of data or the complexity of the calculations, but we often hear from end-users about the performance on the server side. It is easy to drag and drop all the columns and do what we want, but if it is not going to load better on the server, users are not going to like it."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
