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.

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.
* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s good for quick visualization and being able to quickly consume unstructured data to play around with."
"Tableau's easy to use, and easy to deploy."
"Tableau makes creating analysis fun and beautiful, while still finding incredible gold nuggets in the dark data of enterprises."
"When compared with Power BI, Tableau is much easier."
"This solution has improved insights into quantitative data."
"It's easy to start using to deliver off-the-shelf visualizations, it makes it easy to share dashboards with a team, and it's a comprehensive solution that can scale from desktop (analyst, developer) to server (large end-user audience) with small or no changes."
"User interface is designed for ease of use for non-technical users."
"If you want to analyze data, discover insights, communicate your story with data, or impress your customers with great visualizations, Tableau is by far the best tool."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"There is no way to schedule these reports for business users who would like to measure users activity."
"The pricing is high. I'm using a student license, however, I know that even this license is very expensive."
"The current design takes too much time and doesn't really allow for the same formatting to be applied globally across all of the visualization."
"There are restrictions in scheduling reports. For instance, we cannot send the entire Excel file reports via email within Tableau."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"It would like to see autosaving, embedded fonts and other options to improve the ease of dashboard layout."
"Sometimes, data retrieval was slow I had a bad experience viewing the reports with Microsoft IE or Chrome."
"Whenever it comes to specialized visualization, Tableau is an absolute failure."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The value for money is definitely there."
"I'm using Tableau Public, which is free."
"Tableau is an expensive solution, though it comes with its advantages."
"Paying for users you never setup or buying expensive desktop licenses for users who can solve their users with web editing on the server are the two biggest expenses."
"We always consider pricing when considering a new solution. We are a non-profit and price is a huge concern."
"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."
"We are paying an annual licensing fee."
"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."
