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

Uzair Faruqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Data Science 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

"The most valuable features of Kyvos are reconciliation and its ability to query big data."
"Compared to other products, visualization features are really good."
"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 are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"Tableau is more GUI based and intuitive."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"The drill-down approach and interactivity in Tableau are highly effective."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"Tableau will automatically show charts for the related data that I choose, making it very easy to 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."
"Only with SAP BW data sources."
"There are restrictions in scheduling reports. For instance, we cannot send the entire Excel file reports via email within Tableau."
"The extraction, transformation and loading of data in Tableau takes a lot of time and we do not have confidence that Tableau is showing all the data we need."
"Calculations in reports are still tricky."
"With data exploding exponentially, handling huge data that runs into billions of records is still a concern at an enterprise level."
"A strict security measure is needed. I believe it is weak in terms of security."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"Licensing and pricing options could be made better so that more users would be able to use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For big business, Tableau could be expensive as having a lot of Tableau server users (entering with a browser to reports) could be a bit expensive."
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"It is reasonable based on what it offers."
"Tableau has core-based and user-based licensing, and it is tied to scalability. The core-based licensing is about you buying a certain number of cores, and there is no restriction on the number of users who can use Tableau. The restriction is only on the number of cores. In user-based subscription licensing, there is a restriction on the number of users. Big companies and government organizations with a lot of users typically go for core-based licensing. User-based subscription licensing is a more common model. It has user roles such as creator, explorer, and viewer. A creator is someone who does the groundwork or development work. An explorer is someone who is into middle management but is not technically savvy, such as a category head. A viewer is like a typical decision-maker in senior management. For each role, Tableau is priced differently. The viewer role has the minimum price, and the creator role has the highest price. This pricing is available on their website. Everybody can see it."
"The solution is very expensive. If you have many users then it is going to cost your company a lot of money."
"I'm using Tableau Public, which is free."
"The cost is high."
"The pricing is $70 per month. You have to pay about $800 or something in that ballpark annually for one license."
