Visual analytics has transformed national statistics strategies and empowers broad data collaboration
The learning curve part could be improved. Once you start using Tableau [Private Offer Only], you do not have a problem, but if you are new, that aspect hits you immediately and confuses you. Additionally, if natural language processing were incorporated, it would make life easier for users looking to quickly get insights from their data. Currently, I am linking KNIME and Tableau [Private Offer Only] because there are many things you can do easily with KNIME, and Tableau Prep could be better. Tableau [Private Offer Only] Prep does impact data readiness, but it is difficult to train others using it compared to using KNIME for data cleansing. It is good if you know what you are doing. I believe the focus should be on improving the AI side of Tableau [Private Offer Only] so I can load my data dictionary and business glossary for better assistance in my analyses. The learning curve for data cleansing is not ideal as it could be. People new to Tableau [Private Offer Only] often confuse dimensions and measures, which could be simplified through explanations or even tooltips.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Pros

"Tableau [Private Offer Only] is easy to use for creating visualizations, it is easy to navigate, and it has incorporated formulas which are not difficult to understand, making it an ideal easy-to-use tool."
"If you use Tableau [Private Offer Only], you get value for money and the ability to demonstrate your analysis and visualizations effectively."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."

Cons

"At the moment, I do not find it cost-effective, and I have not seen any measurable benefits or ROI with Tableau [Private Offer Only]."
"The learning curve part could be improved. Once you start using Tableau [Private Offer Only], you do not have a problem, but if you are new, that aspect hits you immediately and confuses you."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"This was the only thing that we took as a disadvantage at the time of implementing, since we did not have any way to see what the Upbound Crossplane composition or what the Upbound Crossplane resource will do to the actual infrastructure."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
