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

"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"People should use Tableau because it is fast and visualizations will be rich."

"Tableau's ability to manage extensive data, even in an extract format, is noteworthy, as Power BI struggles with that."

"We found Tableau has the quickest learning time out of the few other BI reporting tools that we have used."

"One of the most valuable features of Tableau is that it's a visual analytics solution, not just a dashboarding solution, so there are no limitations with Tableau."

"It changed the way in which the data was consumed internally by enabling the business leaders to reduce the time for data discovery."

"It is easy to use, and it can handle a large amount of data."

"Tableau seems to have easier user acceptance than QlikView because of the simpler charts and big data integration, increasing the possibility of helping an organization transform from reactive analysis to predictive analysis."

"I would say Tableau is a good product to use for data visualization; I recommend it for that and for data analysis."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

Cons

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"Its documentation could be improved."

"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."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Its price should be improved. Its price is much higher than Power BI and QlikView. Programming is not easy on Tableau. For programming, you have to have a separate model. They should include programming directly on the web portion of the Tableau desktop so that people can write Python or JavaScript code for customizations instead of using a different model. Currently, Tableau Data Prep is a separate application that you have to purchase. It would be helpful if they can include Tableau Data Prep and programming languages such as R, Python in the next version. Tableau Public, which is a community version, doesn't allow you to save your work on your desktop. They should allow it. Currently, you can only upload it in the community."

"Initial versions crashed when large data sets were loaded. Subsequent releases were more stable."

"Obviously, it is not very scalable with large data sets. Hence, it becomes slow and clunky when large data sets are introduced."

"Creating empty extracts is not easy."

"Tableau is very good as a starting point for a BI system and environment with relatively low cost. But it's not easy to expand to enterprise level because there is no discount pricing strategy."

"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."

"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."

"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The cost of the solution should be improved."

"For the use and the capability of the software, it's $70 per month, and that is quite inexpensive."

"Tableau is not as cost-effective as Microsoft BI."

"The license is very expensive."

"Its price is reasonable. Everything is included in the license."

"The initial cost that is set according to CPU cores is expensive."

"It is reasonable based on what it offers."

"The licensing model of Tableau has changed since we initially purchased it three years ago and it is more complicated, and I have found it to be more expensive. They have lost market shares to Microsoft BI. My company will probably change solutions this year because of the increased pricing model."
