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."
"Tableau is saving me time, money, and resources, which I would rate as ten."
"The solution helps users create dashboards and analyze data without relying on IT or product teams."
"It is very easy to create dashboards, charts, and graphs."
"The geospatial maps representation and the visualizations are nice."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part"
"The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
 

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."
"Pricing is also a concern for me as it is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft Power Platform."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."
"There have been issues where suddenly the site will not respond, requiring a restart."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"Tableau is a company that does not respect partners."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The professional version of Tableau is quite expensive."
"Tableau is free."
"The solution is very expensive. If you have many users then it is going to cost your company a lot of money."
"We always consider pricing when considering a new solution. We are a non-profit and price is a huge concern."
"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."
"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."
"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."
"I downloaded the solution online for free."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
