Tableau Enterprise Reviews

We use Tableau for the all kind of dashboards.

Tableau as a BI solution provides a platform to develop user-friendly, story telling dashboards, which provide insights to help management take decisions.

The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI.

The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better. When comparing the performance of Tableau to other solutions, such as Microsoft BI, they are not as good.

I have been using Tableau for approximately four years.

The stability is very good.

Tableau has good scaling capabilities.

We have approximately 30 to 40 users using this solution in my organization.

The support is good for Tableau. However, if we ask for a certain feature they will not entertain us, unless other customers are also asking for the same feature.

We previously were using Microsoft BI and we switched to Tableau because of the increased level of customization it provides. Microstrategy can also be a considerable alternative.

The installation is complicated and took us approximately four hours.

It would be best to use an integrator or other professional assistance for the implementation.

We have approximately two engineers that handle the maintenance of the solution.

Our management can take decisions based on insights provided by Tableau, which are smart and help us reduce costs and data issues.

There is a license for the use of this solution and it is on a per-user basis. The server is free but the users you have to pay for.

We performed a POC before going with Tableau, we tried Power BI because Power BI is competing against tableau. But to use Power BI at its full potential, you need the Power BI cloud edition, which our organization cannot go with. So the obvious choice was to go with Tableau.

Tableau is very good, but customers have to understand the requirements of hardware and software the way Tableau works. If they have some requirements that Tableau cannot meet, they will understand how to do it in an alternate way.

I rate Tableau an eight out of ten.

Our clients from different industries use Tableau for data visualization purposes. 

Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards. It stands out in handling and utilizing data compared to other products like Oracle BI.

There should be stronger data modules for the platform.

We have been using Tableau for the past one and a half years.

The platform is relatively stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

The platform is highly scalable. I have five clients, and the total number of users across all clients is around 300 to 400. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

The platform's technical support services require improvement. There should be enough support during the deployment.

Neutral

The platform is deployed on the cloud and on-premises. Its initial setup is straightforward. It took about an hour or two to deploy. I rate the setup process as a nine out of ten.

The pricing of Tableau should be better to remain competitive in the market, especially when compared to alternatives like Power BI. By adjusting the pricing, it can appeal to a broader range of markets and attract more customers.

I rate the platform an eight out of ten.

Our company uses dashboards to understand how much we can improve the situation, track performance in real-time and help managers react faster to non-obvious things.

For our clients, we carry out system integration, and pilot projects, develop first dashboard layouts, provide system support during integration and post-sales service, and provide training to our clients. The main goal of customers is to understand whether they will get profits in the future or not and be able to influence the situation right now.

Tableau helps the company to see insights. It will allow profit or loss to be predicted, but very flexible to react to changes.

Tableau's dashboard allows teams to see what's going on at a high level. Our company sells software licenses and it's very important for us to be able to track license expiration dates that may expire in the near future and to be able to contact customers and ask them to renegotiate contracts or to warn customers in time about possible license renewals or additional purchases of new licenses.

Instead of going deep into the CRM in detail, we can do it directly from the dashboards generated by Tableau, saving ourselves time and increasing our productivity.

Other customers can use the solution to check the duration of certain transactions. They can see how quickly they are completing transactions in a call center, for example. They can look at targets and get alerts to help them improve results.

Users don't have to wait for monthly reports, Tableau allows users to view numbers to make real-time decisions. It is easy and intuitive to use and has quick access to analytics, high performance even for very big data, and a built-in ETL tool to clean and prepare data.

Both web and mobile versions are supported. Updates take place at least once every three months. We always get the latest version with the latest features.

There is a huge community of Tableau users - 99.9% of questions are answered.

The solution integrates well with Python and R. The solution scales well and it is very stable.

The setup is quite easy and the technical support has been responsive.

Despite the number of available interface languages, I would like to see as many languages as possible represented in Tableau. So many companies really want to use this program and it suits them better than any other similar programs, but due to the lack of understanding of English, it is difficult for them to decide to integrate this particular product.

In addition to the existing set of common data types, Tableau Desktop has such a wonderful thing as a union of data on the principle of relationships for Multi-table. This type of union is very easy to work with the data source itself and does not overload the system.

At the moment, this type of union only exists for connections from databases. It would be nice if Tableau added this type of merging for data sources that are on the Tableau Server/Tableau Cloud.

Every three months, Tableau adds new features. There are always new features coming up.

I've used the solution for two years. 

It's stable. It's reliable and has a good security program. 

The solution is very easy to scale. The Blueprint methodology shows how large companies can successfully implement and develop it.

We are a small company. Right now we have about eight users of the solution. Part of them prepare analytics and manage the solution on the server side as the analysts, architects, and solution engineers, and the rest are people who use the solution as users, viewers, and explorers.

We have full technical support for our clients. When we get a new client, we provide full support and handle pilot projects. We can also provide dashboards. We have a community for clients that are new to the solution.

Our company would like to improve the culture of data in our country. We're working to provide learning resources and free YouTube lessons to help new users understand the product. 

As a company, we provide Tableau support for our clients. If our company cannot find any solution ourselves, we contact the brand's technical support, and they respond very quickly. Depending on the complexity of the problem, a solution can be delivered within two to three days up to a week.

In the past, I have also used Excel and some Power BI.

In our company we like to say that there is no perfect BI, only the tool that suits you and your goals. Therefore, most companies choose to work with a different set of tools, sometimes combining several different ones. The main thing is that they all work towards your main goal and the achievement of your results.

Despite the fact that the company sells both Tableau and Power BI, we mainly use Tableau.

The initial setup is very easy. That said, it's best to prepare your system. You need to understand how your system will be able to integrate with it. You also have to understand your data.

It can be set up by one person if it is a small company and he is well versed in the product and in his system. However, if the company is large and the process is complex, then of course a team of several people may be needed to share the integration process between working with server setup, analytics department, and working with clients.

The service can be set up completely automatically. This will depend on the server the company uses and whether additional add-ons for working with Tableau are enabled. Automation makes it easy to check data flows and dashboards, simplifies server operations and monitors errors that occur, and sends alerts or warnings if they occur.

The price is still quite high for many Tableau customers. That said, the company understands the value the solution provides. That, and the integration process is so much easier with Tableau. Even with the licensing being so high, it is worth it due to the simplicity and finally, they see the financial return of using the product.

I'm an analytics lead. I'm an integrator of the product.

We work with Tableau Cloud and with the Tableau Server.

Make sure you are really ready to integrate with Tableau. That will make the deployment go much more smoothly. Users that are fully prepared will be able to get the most out of it. If they are not prepared, they will not use it to the fullest extent possible. Sometimes you have to change not just the tool; you have to change the entire company's process. The product implementation needs to be considered at all steps, both within the company and for all stakeholders.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I have used Tableau in the past with other clients for enterprise-level data visualization for financial and manufacturing industries. I have also used it for documents dashboard and different kinds of KPI visualizations. I'm currently using it for academic purposes. In my current organization, we are not using Tableau. We are using Power BI.

Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good. It is a very good tool, and it basically brings life into data with good design. We have been creating a lot of interactive visualizations and dashboards.

It has a public version. There are public communities from where you can get a lot of examples for practice.

Its price should be improved. Its price is much higher than Power BI and QlikView.

Programming is not easy on Tableau. For programming, you have to have a separate model. They should include programming directly on the web portion of the Tableau desktop so that people can write Python or JavaScript code for customizations instead of using a different model. Currently, Tableau Data Prep is a separate application that you have to purchase. It would be helpful if they can include Tableau Data Prep and programming languages such as R, Python in the next version.

Tableau Public, which is a community version, doesn't allow you to save your work on your desktop. They should allow it. Currently, you can only upload it in the community.

I've been using Tableau for almost eight or nine years.

It is very stable. 

It is scalable. They have a cloud version, and you can implement it on the cloud.

Their technical support is good. Our own IT can also manage it, and I can also get support from Tableau.

We also use Dimension, Power BI, and QlikView. Domo is also there, but Domo is a little bit more expensive. Microstrategy is also a little bit more expensive, and it has different media storage.

Its installation is straightforward. It is a one-click installation. 

I installed it myself on my laptop.

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. 

I would recommend this solution if you do not have budget constraints. It is a very good solution with excellent visualizations. I plan to keep using it for academic purposes.

I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.

I use Tableau to understand how day-to-day business is going, where the gaps exist, and the KPIs. We use it for target analysis, identification, performance tracking, and financial metrics. 

The features I like most are data manipulation, Tableau Prep, the ability to do manipulation on the desktop, its connectivity to different and vast data sources, the capacity to handle such huge sets of data, and its flexibility to play around and create calculated fields and customized charts. LOD expression is also fantastic. Another useful feature is drag and drop, which means that if you're not into creating data manipulation, data comes very clean and clear to you, and you just have to drag and drop to create a job. This gives an upper hand to the end-user to work on the analytical tool and create their own dashboards. And even on the Tableau server, they can create their own metrics and publish them as a simple dashboard. You can create a view as per your user.

When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome if you're floating, and it loses in comparison to Power BI, which does allow multiple selections. In the next release, I would like to see an enhancement of the prescriptive analytics features.

I've been working with Tableau for a year and a half.

Technical support is more-or-less fine, though we have had a couple of cases where we weren't satisfied. We have had to ask our senior management to intervene sometimes because the support period has gone beyond fifteen or twenty-one days.

Neutral

I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people. For those thinking of implementing it, you can go with Tableau Online if you don't do too much data manipulation on the Tableau desktop itself. Try to keep it in a different layer of Tableau Prep and also make sure that your desktop is not heavy and leverage the features properly because Tableau offers a lot. I would give Tableau a rating of eight out of ten.

I am using it for my personal use. I'm using Tableau Public. It is a downloadable version. I downloaded it to my system and installed it.

The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now.

Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation.

There are a couple of features that are only available in the cloud version, and I would like to see them in the hosted version. We can only use them in a demo or temporary account for 10 or 15 days, but I would love to see those features in the hosted version that I am using, which is Tableau Public.

I have been using Tableau for almost one and a half years. 

It is stable, but at times, I have seen that it doesn't work for certain datasets. If the data is not correctly sanitized, there are chances that you would end up having no visualization at all, even after spending a lot of time. So, sanitization is a must in Tableau as of now. Other than that, I've not seen anything else. There are no bugs, but if the data is not sanitized, you will not get any visualization. That is a problem. 

It is pretty scalable. There is no doubt about it. In the cloud version, a live data source can also be integrated. So, it seems pretty scalable, but I've not tested how scalable that version is.

I don't have any experience with their technical support. Whatever I've learned to date is from online resources such as YouTube and my personal sources. I've not contacted Tableau support.

Its initial setup is quite straightforward. It took me a while to understand that this version is also available for free for users like me who want to understand the data visualization part, but its installation is pretty easy.

I'm using Tableau Public, which is free.

I compared it with QlikView, which is a leading data visualization tool, but because I had heard a lot about Tableau and I had seen that there is a lot of scope in the market to get hired, I decided to go ahead with Tableau. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Overall, I am satisfied with Tableau.

When compared with Power BI, Tableau is much easier.

The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate.

I would like to see the visualization improved.

I have been working with Tableau for four months.

I am working with the most recent version.

So far, Tableau has been stable.

I can't say that it is scalable, as I am still learning.

Because I'm taking a data analytics course. I should begin with a product. At the moment, I am our company's only user.

I have not reached out to technical support. I haven't required any assistance. The guide was sufficient. I typed in Google and found the answer to every question I had, whether it was in a form or a guide itself.

Previously, I worked with Power BI.

The initial setup was easy. They have a guide available.

The deployment can take anywhere from an hour and a half to half a day.

I was able to complete the deployment, download, and installation with the help of the guide.

For me, for right now, the price is reasonable. Tableau is free.

You won't have to do anything if you read through the guide.

I would rate Tableau an eight out of ten.

We can do many things with Tableau. I only use it for simple cases, but you can do many things with the device.

Tableau makes changes frequently. Any feature I am looking for usually is part of the next upgrade within a few months. They have a very good dynamic evolution.

The user story model is the most deceptive part of Tableau. It is a big marketing option, however, the reality is that it is not enough.

I have been using Tableau for two years.

Tableau is a good product. 

The advice I would give to someone looking to use Tableau would be to get prepared.

I use Tableau for BI and business subject, I would rate it a 9 out of 10.
