Featured Reviews

VenkateshJuloori - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder & CEO at Ira
A flexible tool that offers an open-source version
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten. In my company, there are around five resources that use the product. My company's clients use the product a lot on a daily basis. I use the product twice a week in my company before I get any call from our clients.
Uzair Faruqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Analytics 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

"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"There is a lot of APIs available, which means that Tableau can be customized to a large extent."
"This solution has transformed us from an Excel reporting environment to one of visual exploration."
"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."
"Tableau's performance is really good, and it is adding new features."
"The most valuable feature is the geographic data analysis."
"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"Tableau has data relationships that can be applied to a data source which helps build out a directory which is helpful. Data blending has also been valuable to us."
 

Cons

"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"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 ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
"When it comes to large datasets, the data should be extracted faster."
"The solution could improve the scalability, it is difficult to make changes."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
"More integration with Python or something related to machine learning would be a good improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
"I downloaded the solution online for free."
"In Korea, the tool's pricing depends on the scale of usage. For instance, it's reasonable for a department with fewer than 50 users to adopt Tableau, like sales. However, the pricing becomes an issue when considering an enterprise solution for a larger user base, say 10,000 people."
"The value for money is definitely there."
"Pricing is not bad. It's competitive."
"The product's price is relatively inexpensive and manageable for enterprise-level companies."
"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."
"This license is on a yearly basis."
"There is a license for this solution and we pay on an annual basis."

MicroStrategy vs. Tableau
