The Briefing Book feature enables measures to be filtered and viewed based on different criteria by end users.
This software is targeted at executive users, not the data analysts who want to slice and dice. The software will not replace your BI tools, but it will sit nicely on top of a BI tool if you want management to have quick and easy access to performance data.

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

"It is a comprehensive solution for performance management, and yet it is easy to setup and easy to use, especially in comparison with Oracle, SAS, Hyperion and SAP."
"It has helped to save millions by making informed decisions which are data driven."
"Self-service is most valuable. Users can pick up quickly and do the resolution. There are a lot of out-of-the-box features, and it satisfies most of the needs. If users are properly trained, they can deal with any situation."
"The most valuable feature is the geographic data analysis."
"Customer service has been excellent."
"I like the visualization component."
"Tableau Prep tool for data preparation is a most valuable tool."
"Tableau in French is translated roughly to a blank page; you can do whatever you want on it, and in that sense, Tableau is so amazing because it really helps us manipulate and understand data in interesting ways."
"Good data flow and management."
 

Cons

"It needs to have better quality built in reports."
"Developers end-up, many times, scratching their left ear with the right hand, in order to make visualizations more powerful, effective or appealing than off-the-shelf ones."
"It is complex to deploy if you work in a test environment."
"Needs a metadata solution plus some enhanced ETL functionality."
"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."
"Their training. I've been looking for ways in which we can start training more people to it, and it has shown that other platforms have more access to training than Tableau."
"There are also some frustrating limitations in its data engine that sometimes make it hard to handle filtering and combining data from multiple data sources in the same dashboard."
"Sometimes, when the KPIs or metrics are kind of complex, Tableau could slowdown in the timing of the process and respond (clicks)."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is very expensive. If you have many users then it is going to cost your company a lot of money."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is higher than Power BI and QlikView. Tableau costs around $70 per user per month, whereas Power BI is around $8 to $9. QlikView is around $30. Tableau has various prices for various models such as Creator, Designer."
"It's an annual fee with everything included but it's quite expensive."
"We pay for the enterprise license for Tableau. The licensing could be cheaper and more flexible."
"The price is definitely a point because smaller firms don't use Tableau as it's an expensive tool."
"Tableau is an expensive solution, though it comes with its advantages."
