Provides analytics and simple reporting with data cleaning
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the analytics part. You can use simple reporting by using the analytics by businesses and stakeholders, giving insight into that particular information. It also has data cleaning. It saved a lot of time for the application.
What needs improvement?
Every time, they create a new version of Tableau. We need to update that version and create a new EXE file. Any visualization tool should have one particular application that only needs to be updated rather than creating version one, like 2024.1.2. You can see many versions in Tableau. We are using this number of versions only because of the latest update. Having the latest update in the same application rather than creating multiple versions would be good.
Some features are not enabled in Tableau. We can use the measure or Python to use that. Every company or every person has its own requirement in Tableau. Suppose I am using an in-date format. I'm extracting data from my data source in some other format. At the same time, businesses want to view this information in different formats. I have to customize the data format. If possible, you and your team can work on the date format in the world. There are multiple data formats or data get views available in the report. You can also accommodate in the gate feature.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tableau for almost five to six years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Tableau is scalable software. Almost 500 people within my department are using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
During COVID-19, I had a few issues. Our support team didn't support it. We requested to the Tableau team, and that person helped us. Sometimes, they have a good way. They have excellent knowledge, but sometimes, when you provide your source to a third party, they don't support us technically.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of desktop application is straightforward. We can also creat,e athe project and tha e end user can also create their own project, and later on, if needed, the support team can help us with that.
It takes ten working days minimum to complete creating dashboard and setup server. We are using dev and production environment. Some are also using a testing environment based on their requirement and discussion with the business.
Multiple team is responsible for their activities. At least five to six people are required for deployment because someone is creating a dashboard and some person has their knowledge at server level. Also, some person needs to have their permission management.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was not able to connect Tableau with SharePoint online. Microsoft Power BI can be connected with SharePoint easily online. It has many more facilities than the Tableau application.
What other advice do I have?
The daily reporting or data analysis has seen many improvements with Tableau. We can manage the users accordingly while doing the drag-and-drop interface for that application. I can do Python and use Python Tableau language, which creates a lot of differences.
I have never faced any issues with data integration. Before COVID era, I was using SAP HANA. I could use it very frequently and use the data set accordingly.
I have never faced any such issues. It is a very good application. There are many more application which are also very good and very user friendly, but Tableau is also one of them. We have a direct live collection. Even business users share experience while connecting the live. They feel some hindrance while using this application when they refer us or when they filter the data. You can see the delay response in the page.
Tableau is a good application. I created any dashboard for the business, and business want to view their information. They like that application, and they are able to on this side, what purpose they wanted to develop this dashboard.
I recommend Tableau. There are many BI application. Tableau is one of them, as I I use it.
If the user want to view information, it would be go with their line. It is simple to understand, and take decision based on their information. It would be very good to have on comparison heat map or the pie chart.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Provides impressive dashboards and customized reports
What is our primary use case?
My team is working with Tableau to give presentations, create dashboards, and fetch reports from the system.
What is most valuable?
Tableau is a fantastic tool that provides impressive dashboards and customized reports.
What needs improvement?
The solution’s pricing could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
My team has been using Tableau for the last eight to nine months.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Earlier, we were using only Power BI, which had certain limitations. We could not go beyond the maximum output we had expected. We observed multiple facilities or benefits after buying Tableau. The dashboards are getting more presentable, and we are getting customized reports. Things are in place after getting Tableau into our systems. We are getting appropriate dashboards and reporting with the solution.
How was the initial setup?
Tools like Tableau are not cloud-native services of the cloud and the cloud environment. So, it is very difficult to secure things, move to the cloud, and deploy things onto the cloud. Setting up Tableau on the cloud requires a different skill set because the cloud is a different environment altogether, and data center technologies are something else. Although it's more or less the same, people are unfamiliar with the cloud these days.
What about the implementation team?
Once the environment was set up, it hardly took a week to configure everything in the cloud environment. The team concerned worked with system integrators, who successfully set up everything. We are working seamlessly, and there are no problems as of now.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Tableau is an expensive solution compared to Power BI. We have paid the upfront cost for Tableau, which is 40% more expensive than Power BI.
What other advice do I have?
We realized the benefits of Tableau within a month or so. We got the appropriate skill set to work on the solution directly and got fantastic outputs after deploying it in our systems.
We are working with the government directly. The government has observed that the tool is fantastic. The tool has multiple features, and they are getting the desired output. We are still exploring how many other features and functionalities of Tableau we can use.
We are still trying to integrate Tableau with other platforms to exploit the maximum potential of the portals, services, or software. We are still exploring those opportunities. We have integrated the solution with different schemes and applications, and it works seamlessly.
We are still discovering how many other platforms can be integrated with Tableau. As of now, we haven't faced any issues. We may face some challenges because we are currently trying to integrate it with the SAP environment.
I strongly recommend Tableau to other users because it is a fantastic tool that provides impressive dashboards and customized reports.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.
Recommendations for Salesforce

Its easy to change the tagging and we can save all the article that we are using in our daily basis .
What do you dislike about the product?
Theres always a system downtime and it takes time for them to update the Knowledge Base . We are hoping that the engineering team should do something about the system issue because our scorecard is connected to our tagging in salesforce , so if theres a system issue most of the time theres a descrepancy in our scorecard . The Knowledge base or Article is our guide in our work however theres a lot of scenario that if theres a new update and we are always using slack to share the new update instead of updating the article itself , so we need to search in slack the workflow that we need to do instead of following the article in salesforce .
