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

"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"There is a lot of APIs available, which means that Tableau can be customized to a large extent."
"All features are valuable. It is very user-friendly, and it is mostly drag-and-drop. If we have the dataset available, then we can develop any dashboard very quickly."
"The data blending capabilities is a huge factor for our team."
"The product has the best features for analytical views and filters."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"The best use case for us is the solution's integration with Salesforce because we are also partners of Salesforce."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
 

Cons

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations. Power BI has the entire marketplace, so you can connect and import many visualizations and use them, whereas Tableau has only 10 or 15 visualizations. There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers."
"Other tools are more competitively priced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."
"The pricing is $70 per month. You have to pay about $800 or something in that ballpark annually for one license."
"The cost is high."
"There is a license for the use of this solution and it is on a per-user basis. The server is free but the users you have to pay for."
"In general, if someone is new and wants to learn Tableau, it's around $70 per month."
"It's an annual fee with everything included but it's quite expensive."
"Tableau is free."
