Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization
Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tableau reduces manual labor and resources, providing cost-effective solutions for our operations."
"The customer service and support for Tableau in Thailand are excellent."
"Tableau is easy to use and it has great predictive features."
"It's intuitive and highly mature"
"Analysis is now more visual than in the past."
"Scheduled extract and the multiple connectors are fantastic!"
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"Tableau has greatly enhanced our organization's data-driven decision-making processes by enabling us to create visually compelling reports and dashboards."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product's features for cloud integration need improvement."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"The charting is overly complex in comparison with Power BI's"
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Tableau could improve. The license is too expensive."
"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."
"We are paying an annual licensing fee."
"The company chose to purchase a creator license for me, which was $70. With that license, you can also be an administrator. We also have 20-25 extra licenses and they cost around $20-$35 each. Those are for normal users who will be viewing the dashboards. Those are monthly charges."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"For our organization, the cost hasn't been an issue."
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"Be careful with the Tableau Viewer's licenses, and stay with the right number of users."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
