Tableau Reviews

The product’s performance is better than other tools. The working speed is good. Creating visualization on Tableau is somewhat easier than other tools.

The product has some limitations. Creating empty extracts is not easy. We faced some issues in the initial phase. Creating extracts side by side with multiple lines is not possible in Tableau. This feature is available in Power BI.

If we want to make any changes to the server, we must have the Administrator role. The product should also allow users with Explorer roles to make these changes.

I have been using the solution for the past three and a half years.

The tool is stable.

The tool is scalable. Around 50 people are using the product in our organization. Everyone knows about the product. We have around seven administrators. The number of administrators varies based on the project and tasks.

The technical support is good. I raise a ticket in Tableau Community if I get stuck at any point. I can get the solution easily from the community.

I am also using QuickSight. When we create multiple visualizations and multiple sections using Tableau’s dashboard, the way of executing the visualization is quicker in Tableau compared to other tools. We can pull millions of data and create millions of tables. Apart from the performance issue, compared to other tools, the product provides the best and most advanced features.

The initial setup is easy. The time taken for deployment depends upon the data, the visualization, the types of reports, and the number of cards.

We are also learning to use other tools. It is beneficial to learn Tableau. It will help us in the future. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

The primary use case of the solution is for it to be used as a visualization tool. It is a counterpart of Microsoft Power BI and is used for visualization and reporting purposes.

The solution provides the leverage of having custom visualization and the capability of self-service. I can drag and drop and create reports based on requirements. Data blending comes within self-service, allowing me to generate information.

There should be a generated AI feature that can be added to enable me to generate information. The visualizations should be user-friendly and allow for more custom visualizations.

I have over six years of experience using the solution.

I would rate the stability as three when comparing it to Tableau and ten being the least stable. So, I consider it to be a seven out of ten in terms of stability issues.

In terms of scalability, while it is better than PowerView, it is not as good as Cognos or Microsoft Azure.

Customer support is very satisfactory, and I would rate it as eight out of ten.

I am the implementer of the tools.

The overall rating for the solution is seven out of ten.
