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.

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

"The scalability is simply awesome."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Tableau is that it's a visual analytics solution, not just a dashboarding solution, so there are no limitations with Tableau."
"The more robust features include improved geo-encoding, shape content is a big winner, as is cluster analysis, cross-DB joins are helpful as well, and a huge improvement is the ability to render data visualization to any device from phone to PC."
"The solution is configurable and flexible, we can customize the dashboards and configure the interface the way that we want, and the data can be manipulated and arranged in different ways, such as columns."
"It's a powerful business intelligence tool and is recognised as the cream of the crop for its visual-based data discovery that helps achieve our goals by responding faster to changes and needs in the market."
"Because of data blending, we are able to source from multiple data sources."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"I have not yet transitioned to Tableau Desktop 10.0, but I understand version 10.0 has functionality that allow users to perform cluster analysis."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."
"We need big servers to perform the operations that we are doing. They should probably relook at its architecture."
"Other tools are more competitively priced."
"It needs more ETL capabilities, to be able to address the end-to-end BI need."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."
"The cost of the solution should be improved."
"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"
"ROI is very high, but it requires a data preparation/blending tool."
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. My guess would be that it is $1000 or less per year. We might go for Power BI in the future because of its umbrella with Microsoft licensing. It is much cheaper for us to use Power BI, and some folks will go in that direction because they don't want to pay the higher license."
