IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Has many features in need of improvement, including its monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support

The solution has many areas in need of improvement. I cannot cite just one or two. These include management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support, by way of example. A checklist should be included and the user interface should be addressed. The solution has a function which allows one to give feedback for every employee and to do so overall. The visibility, GUI and features involved in the feedback function are not up to snuff. Employee service details are an issue.

Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services

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

"The solution is stable."

"There is a lot of APIs available, which means that Tableau can be customized to a large extent."

"Easy for beginners to use"

"It is so easy to do a lot of things. There is a lot of flexibility and creativity in this product. In other products, you don't have this flexibility."

"Tableau's initial setup was straightforward."

"Technical support has been responsive."

"The stability seems to be very reliable."

"Tableau's most valuable features are user-friendliness and have a connection between multiple source systems. You can publish a report by using Tableau Public and there you can make your data online, not only batches of data, you can use it as an online analytical tool."

"It allows us to basically understand and evaluate our numbers in an expedient manner."

Cons

"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."

"Users would like to be able to export an Excel file when they see a table or something like that. That's not an out-of-the-box feature for Tableau."

"The performance could be better."

"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."

"Requires a lot of user training."

"When there are millions of records, scaling up is quite difficult."

"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."

"From a customer's point of view, I have noted that after the acquisition by Salesforce, the customer service for Tableau has declined significantly."

"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"There is a license required, we pay an annual license which is priced fair."

"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."

"The solution is expensive but it depends on the customer's needs which will determine the cost of the licensing."

"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."

"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."

"Tableau's prices are relatively high for our market. I am from Serbia, so many companies in this market don't have the ability to pay for expensive software. My clients are quite satisfied with a lot of Tableau's qualities except for the prices."

"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."

"We pay for the enterprise license for Tableau. The licensing could be cheaper and more flexible."
