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.

A scalable and stable product that enables users to set properties dynamically
The solution is used mainly for reporting purposes. We generate PDFs, which are delivered to the recipient via email We can set any property dynamically. We have to use different currencies. Sometimes, we use the pound sign. Sometimes, we use the dollar sign. Our software is a multi-currency…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"Tableau is easy to use. That's the first and most important thing. I not only provide consulting but I also train people to use it, so with its ease-of-use it's not as difficult for me to train executives and management staff, because they don't have the IT background, unlike when I'm using Python."
"I have found many of the self-service features valuable."
"It's easy to use."
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Although Tableau isn't the best for us when it comes to processing and working on live data, it is very good at extracting data for analysis."
"Its dashboarding is the most valuable. It is easy to create visualizations and dashboards and import Excel sheets and ESP files in Tableau as compared to other tools."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."
 

Cons

"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"The solution does have scalability issues."
"The development part should be better. We are putting a lot of effort in during development, so if we face any struggles, we have to find workaround solutions on the internet."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"If they could add global filters in the stories, more chart types, and default colours, it would help."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."
"The product's price is relatively inexpensive and manageable for enterprise-level companies."
"The value for money is definitely there."
"In general, if someone is new and wants to learn Tableau, it's around $70 per month."
"Tableau has reasonable pricing."
"It's an annual fee with everything included but it's quite expensive."
"I believe it has a lifelong license, and once you purchase it, you don't have to renew it, but I'm not sure."
"The initial cost that is set according to CPU cores is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

Jaspersoft vs. Pentaho – Which one to use & is there any need to purchase the commercial edition
Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same…
