Chief Solutions Officer at Treehouse Technology Group
It's given us the ability to quickly plot data with an expansive set of graphs and data blending capabilities.
For this product, we actually incorporated the dashboarding capabilities into an application we are building for one of our clients. Our clients love the dashboarding and analytics capabilities that it provides. BIME has allowed our organization to quickly chart data after we built a successful data management and warehousing capability. Essentially, it is the tip of the iceberg, but an essential one nonetheless.

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

"Our business is very fast pace, so live numbers help us on a daily basis figure out how to spend our time."
"Ability to connect all data sources (databases, online services, files, BigData)"
"BIME has accelerated Treehouse’s ability to execute on high visibility products by significantly decreasing the time to market for our products, especially during periods of rapid prototyping."
"I can recommend using BIME Analytics as it's definitely a very useful and powerful tool."
"Data importing from multiple sources was particularly useful for combining online and offline data, as well as across different analytical platforms (Google Analytics and Omniture)."
"The ability to paint a picture in any shape or form the user wants which can empower decision-making."
"The ease and speed of creating visualizations and interfaces with any database are this product’s most valuable features."
"It has helped to save millions by making informed decisions which are data driven."
"The solution is very good, loved it and the employees also love how quickly they can create a workbook and share it."
"It is a nice solution, the vendor should listen to users and customers."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"It changed the way in which the data was consumed internally by enabling the business leaders to reduce the time for data discovery."
"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."
 

Cons

"Although we were able to provide dashboards to our customers, it required that we create the dashboards with the essential analytics."
"The V6 should be better in terms of navigability and ergonomy"
"Customer Service is non existent."
"Whereas BIME clearly surpasses Excel on many fronts with regards to interactive charting, there are areas where small formatting features are not available."
"Currently, I have to download the data-set for analysis and it is difficult to deliver outputs with BIME concurrently."
"I wish that it had better database management mapping features."
"I would like to see Tableau provide a bit better integration with the Microsoft Office platform."
"I am a BI consultant. I have worked on different reporting tools, such as Power BI and MicroStrategy. As compared to other tools, Tableau lags behind in handling huge enterprise-level data in terms of robust security and the single integrated metadata concept. When we connect to large or very big databases, then performance-wise, I sometimes found Tableau a little bit slow. It can have the single metadata concept like other tools for the reusability of the objects in multiple reports."
"Include forecasting on table calculation fields."
"On a scale from zero to ten, I would score Tableau Enterprise support at a two."
"They need to improve the bar chart position and width."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"It’s a very basic thing, but being able to copy and paste data elements from the screen would be nice."
"To improve the next version, it is important to highlight the use of the tool in other languages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are on an annual license which costs us $1,400 which is very expensive. Microsft BI is less expensive."
"Its cost is quite high. A corporate license costs about 150-200K per year for all the users, but there was probably some discounted amount. This cost includes everything."
"The initial cost that is set according to CPU cores is expensive."
"In Korea, the tool's pricing depends on the scale of usage. For instance, it's reasonable for a department with fewer than 50 users to adopt Tableau, like sales. However, the pricing becomes an issue when considering an enterprise solution for a larger user base, say 10,000 people."
"The price of Tableau is high, although there are different types of licenses available."
"The pricing of Tableau should be better to remain competitive in the market, especially when compared to alternatives."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"Tableau is not as cost-effective as Microsoft BI."
