A stable solution that can be used for data discovery, but it should include more tutorials for new users

Real-time data connection enhances workflow and decision-making process
An area for improvement in Tableau is the Explorer license type. It is not as useful, and the product owner should enhance its benefits or clarify its role. Additionally, the frequent updates with many versions available for download can be confusing and could affect stability. They should avoid providing access to older versions on their website.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
"I like Tableau's heat maps and the storyboard. You can create data stories and tons of visuals with it, and it goes together really well. Tableau lets you manipulate the data in various ways."
"Analysis is now more visual than in the past."
"Tableau's ability to manage extensive data, even in an extract format, is noteworthy, as Power BI struggles with that."
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"Show Me is a feature to help with knowing which chart is an appropriate one for the selected variables, and it makes helps in creating appropriate visuals."
"This solution has transformed us from an Excel reporting environment to one of visual exploration."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
 

Cons

"Since I couldn't find any tutorials or a handbook, I had some initial difficulty understanding the UI and the whole interface of Kyvos."
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
"Tableau's data blending feature could use some improvement. Previously, I used other tools, such as Alteryx, for data blending because Tableau had limitations."
"Reports should be downloadable as PDF files."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"If you mainly need a tool for BI reporting, it's not the best option. Tableau needs better abilities to generate simple reports, integrate, create databases, and work with data lakes."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is fairly expensive. I have no idea what they paid. We were on an enterprise license, so whatever it is they licensed at the enterprise level is what we paid."
"Its price is reasonable. Everything is included in the license."
"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."
"Be careful with the Tableau Viewer's licenses, and stay with the right number of users."
"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."
"Its licensing cost should be improved."
"Tableau is an expensive solution, though it comes with its advantages."
"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."
