Advanced Analytics and powerful data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau offers advanced analytical capabilities, including forecasting, trend analysis, and statistical modeling, which can enhance data insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
Users with large datasets may experience slow performance, especially when dashboards become complex or when connecting to certain data sources. My company have huge data hence sometimes it takes lot of time to generate few complex reports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau is a powerful data visualization tool that addresses several key problems in data analysis and reporting. For me it helps in connecting to various data sources (databases, cloud services, spreadsheets, etc.) easily. This accessibility enables me to work with data without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Drill-down and interactivity provide detailed data analysis for quick decision-making
What is our primary use case?
I use Tableau for providing business insights. Instead of depending on Excel files, I provide information to the business users to make quicker decisions.
What is most valuable?
The drill-down approach and interactivity in Tableau are highly effective. Users can filter out specific information they are looking into. The interactive, action-based approach allows for detailed data analysis. For example, if I want to drill down from state information to region-wise information, I can click on a region, and the dashboard filters out to show performance analysis of that specific region.
What needs improvement?
Tableau currently lacks some modern features like AI generative approaches, video type analytics, voice command, and some predictive analytics features. These are limitations I hope will be addressed in future versions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Tableau for the last five years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Deployment requires a Tableau Bridge when connecting from Tableau Cloud to an on-prem server, which can be tricky. This process takes a couple of days for configuration and setup.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There have been issues where suddenly the site will not respond, requiring a restart. The application hangs after continuous use due to the buildup of cache, necessitating manual clearing of temporary files to restore functionality.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Tableau is easy to scale. For an increasing number of users, it's straightforward to approach the sales department for an extension.
How are customer service and support?
I am mostly satisfied with Salesforce's support, rating it nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, I worked with Business Objects of SAP. I stopped using it about one and a half years ago.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is very easy and doesn't require much time.
What was our ROI?
The main cost-saving aspect is reducing resource costs by investing in a Tableau license and developer, which decreases the need for several MIS personnel.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Tableau licensing costs vary based on the number of user licenses. For example, a license for 150 users costs around $17,000 USD per year. However, the cost is justified as it reduces the need for other resources.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Some clients consider Power BI due to its cost-effectiveness. However, I still recommend Tableau for its superior functionality compared to Power BI.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend Tableau as a pure data analytics tool that provides more insights to business users in a much easier way than other market tools. My overall rating for Tableau is nine out of ten.
