Real-time dashboards have transformed our contact center decisions and performance management
If I talk about features or aspects that need improvement, the first concern is information overload and dashboard clutter. The biggest complaint I hear is that the dashboard contains so much data that new users often feel overwhelmed. Even though it is rated eight out of ten for data discovery, users suggest better ways to hide or filter metrics until needed. Best practices suggest that successful teams start with three to four KPIs on their wallboard and then add more later. Another improvement users wish for is audio alerts; they want sound notifications when calls hit a queue or SLA drops. Currently, it is visual-only, necessitating constant screen monitoring, which can be a gap for busy supervisors. Third, the interactive data visualization layer scores eight out of ten, but users request more interactive charts. Currently, it is clean and efficient, yet lacks the drag-and-drop explorability of Tableau or Domo. Additionally, there is mention of enterprise scalability; eMite users state that while it is well-suited for small to mid-scale companies, it struggles with large companies that have huge data volumes, often resulting in performance issues and dashboard load complications. The mobile app is another area of improvement; while it is good, some users request more admin controls via mobile, as it is currently better for viewing and drill-down rather than configuration changes. Lastly, the learning curve for custom KPIs also needs attention. Regarding additional needed improvements, the custom KPIs feature is a strength but setting them up is not plug-and-play. Non-analyst users sometimes require assistance from the IT data team to construct formulas. Furthermore, the alert system is the most common request, with users desiring configuration for audio alerts and push notifications when queues exceed a certain number of calls, SLAs drop below a specific percentage, or when agents are not ready for too long. Currently, it is visual-only, causing supervisors to potentially miss spikes if they momentarily look away from the wallboard. Additionally, customizing dashboards for non-technical users presents challenges; while the drill-down feature is powerful, building custom dashboards and KPIs involves a learning curve. Teams seek more drag-and-drop widgets and templates; at present, IT data folks typically need to set this up and then hand it off.

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

"Users state that eMite is designed for real-time querying and personalized views for business and IT, emphasizing that the shift is from reactive to proactive resolution of queue spikes, now fixed in minutes as opposed to discovering them in the next day's report."
"The extremely intuitive and user-friendly UI helps naive users easily click and connect, drag and drop, and build fantastic visualizations."
"Tableau is (I believe) the best tool for data visualization."
"ROI shows when you hear 'Wow' from your clients every time you deliver a dashboard or a report."
"Excellent product: Great visualizers and it is easy to use, allowing insights into business performance issues and providing supporting data for critical policy and operational changes."
"The most valuable features of Tableau include building hyper extracts and creating visuals."
"We are much more nimble in our ability to provide tactical data and deploy scalable enterprise dashboards and visualizations to staff within the organization."
"Because Tableau is a lot simpler to implement, we've been able to train people to do their own reports, so it's much better from a self-service perspective."
"From my perspective, it enables clients to better understand our data and make better decisions based on that information."
 

Cons

"Additionally, there is mention of enterprise scalability; eMite users state that while it is well-suited for small to mid-scale companies, it struggles with large companies that have huge data volumes, often resulting in performance issues and dashboard load complications."
"It needs to allow for more complexity in data joins and creation."
"Occasional users will always have trouble coping with such a feature-rich product."
"Carolina Health Systems just adopted Power BI to replace Tableau due to server costs."
"Tableau needs some improvement in its organization-wide deployment capabilities."
"Needs a metadata solution plus some enhanced ETL functionality."
"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."
"Technical support can sometime take a while to respond, but they are very helpful and friendly."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a license required, we pay an annual license which is priced fair."
"The solution's licensing is based on user-basis. It depends on the business ROI it offers. It's not on the higher side or too cheap; it falls in the medium-cost range. The price is determined by user usage, so the cost will also increase as the number of users increases."
"Tableau is not as cost-effective as Microsoft BI."
"Paying for users you never setup or buying expensive desktop licenses for users who can solve their users with web editing on the server are the two biggest expenses."
"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."
"The pricing for Tableau is the same as the other products in the market."
"Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."
"It is a bit difficult for some people when they hear $70.00 per month, as some solutions are available for less than $10.00 or for free."
