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.

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.

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."
"We use the solution for employee and manager services and person management and employee records."
"Tableau's visualization features let you present information insights quickly and practically. So it's something which I prefer with Tableau. In terms of reporting, I have to point out the sheer quality and function of the Tableau server, but the first impression is that it's a great visualization tool."
"I believe the most valuable feature of Tableau is the flexibility it offers with regard to the types of visualizations the user can create."
"From the data science point of view, we use it for model building purposes. For example, if we are using it for a bank and we want to understand how much loan the bank can provide, we can use visualization to show the educational qualification, salary, gender, and city of a customer, and by using this information, we can arrive at the loan amount that this person is eligible for. I can also use it to view all prospective customers, so essentially, this is going to help me in model building as well as in understanding and segmenting customers and doing forecasting and predictive analytics. We use model widgets, and we can create thousands of visualizations, such as motion charts and bubble charts. We can also create animated versions of the graphs and view the data from multiple dimensions. These are the features that we typically use and like."
"Self-service is most valuable. Users can pick up quickly and do the resolution. There are a lot of out-of-the-box features, and it satisfies most of the needs. If users are properly trained, they can deal with any situation."
"This solution has improved insights into quantitative data."
"It is helpful that the solution provides access to one's own data, allowing a person to get insights out of the data provided by his tool, based upon the KPIs that the person wishes to look at."
"It has been the best tool to work with from a self-service point of view."
"Tableau is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution has many areas in need of improvement, including management, monitoring, interface, dashboard and technical support."
"To improve the next version, it is important to highlight the use of the tool in other languages."
"Navigating through activities like cleansing, reshaping, and wrangling extensive or complicated datasets could prove challenging within the Tableau environment."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"If they could add global filters in the stories, more chart types, and default colours, it would help."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"Poor Performance in hierarchical data– this is an usability problems when filtering as it doesn’t recognise the hierarchy."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If they want to be competitive in the market, the price must be improved."
"For big business, Tableau could be expensive as having a lot of Tableau server users (entering with a browser to reports) could be a bit expensive."
"Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."
"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."
"Tableau has reasonable pricing."
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Tableau is the price, it is expensive. The price should be reduced."
"The license is very expensive."
