Centralized dashboards have transformed workforce trend analysis and speed up decisions
Tableau Enterprise helps us to consolidate the data and visualize daily and weekly trends in a clear and centralized dashboard, offering powerful features such as interactive dashboards, real-time data refreshing, advanced visual analytics, role-based access control, secure data, and seamless interaction with multiple data sources and automated reports. This will help us to analyze trends and collaborate across teams and scale analytics across the organization. These features help my team specifically by centralizing all employees' data in one place. This helps us reduce manual tracking and gives us real-time visibility into work from home versus office trends. The interactive dashboards allow quick decision-making, and the automated refresh time saves us a lot, while role-based access ensures data is shared securely with the right stakeholders. Tableau Enterprise has had a strong positive impact on our organization by improving data visibility, speeding up decision-making, and managing reports efficiently. The team can now access and track trends more effectively, and collaboration has improved using interactive dashboards. Overall, it has enhanced effectiveness and fostered a data-driven culture across the organization. The specific outcomes showing this positive impact include speeding up decision-making, which is the biggest impact because it saves us more time. Reporting time actually reduces sequentially since the dashboards refresh automatically. Data security is stronger, and data accuracy has improved, thanks to a centralized data source. Decision-making is also much faster since leaders can view real-time impacts instead of waiting for manual entry.

Business Analytics enables us to better understand our business and compare ourselves meaningfully to our competitors.
The solution has a number of distinct features that are noteworthy. First, it is an incredibly flexible and fast, yet comprehensive analytical solution. Verix has found a way to deploy the solution quickly, in under 3 months, while providing a product that is robust and uniquely tailored to the sales model within the industry. Second, in response to specific business needs that are constantly arising, Verix is consistently able to address our needs in a quick and thoughtful manner. Additionally, since Verix is cloud-based, these changes happen almost immediately, usually within hours or days. Finally, Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"User interface is designed for ease of use for non-technical users."
"We’ve been able to replace several manual spreadsheet reports that took hours for individuals to complete, and with Tableau Server and some automation processes put in place, those reports are now automatically delivered to the end users, saving time and money."
"When you consider how much time is wasted on DB work, including visualization, the license fee is a small issue."
"Tableau is good for quick visualization once you have the data, but not such a great interoperable tool or getting to multiple sources without a lot of work and know-how."
"Best Visualization and analytics tool"
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"It's the ease of use, the quick deployment from developing it and then moving it on to our servers, and it is also a self-service tool so it decreases the burden on having centralized IT-type teams or developers."
"If a company really wants to go for some easy solutions, and something that is robust and dynamic this is a great option."
"Verix has improved our processes since the entire sales force now functions on this standardized platform, which allows for smoother channels of communication throughout the team."
"Previously we were using a solution called Business Information Warehouse, and another called Tableau; neither was as easy to use or as advanced as the Verix solution."
"The ability to identify in real time changes in behavior that are in contrast to expected and past behavior applies to any constituent’s behavior – customers, prescribers, competitors, payers, and even your own sales reps, and the product is also extremely user friendly."
"Verix’s intelligent business alerts (i.e. hotspots) provide outstanding value by putting easy-to-use analytics in the hands of the user."
 

Cons

"If you have to work through the common help desk, it is tough. In most cases, analysts have problems they need to solve right away; having them spend hours pouring through KB files to only find something similar, but not exact, and then waiting 5-10 days to get resolution from a help desk agent generates a lot of frustration on the team."
"The use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates which lead to reinstalling the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version, it would be great."
"If they want to be competitive in the market, the price must be improved."
"Tableau loses to the competition because of price."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"Korean geographic map at the detail level polygon map is a hot requirement from end users; Korean users want the Tableau default map function to be one more detailed level when they visualize Korean territories."
"They need to improve the bar chart position and width."
"Performance-wise, Tableau is good but it could always be better."
"Currently there are 10 applications in the solution such as product launch and funnel. In the future I would like to see Verix add additional analytical applications so that an even greater range of the business aspects is covered."
"There are tools in the market that have very slick graphical interface features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable based on what it offers."
"At $70 per month, I think the price is a bit scary. I have a small consulting firm in Ghana, working in about 15 different African countries, and when it comes to our part of the world, $70 a month is a lot of money for software."
"I recommend that you discuss your needs with the salesperson and try to negotiate the price."
"Tableau is free."
"The cost is high."
"We always consider pricing when considering a new solution. We are a non-profit and price is a huge concern."
"Its licensing cost should be improved."
"The pricing is $70 per month. You have to pay about $800 or something in that ballpark annually for one license."
