Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."It includes valuable features like a dashboard, reporting, visualization, etc."
"You are able to see and follow trends."
"It has made the reporting stage simple and enabled us to focus mainly on the ETL part"
"It's a very good, flexible product, and it's easy to learn."
"The stability seems to be very reliable."
"Its visualizations are good, and its features make the development process a little less time-consuming. It has an in-memory extract feature that allows us to extract data and keep it on the server, and then our users can use it quickly."
"Data Interpreter: Which can identify issues or potential errors with your imported data."
"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"
"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."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The tool's OpenAI integration was announced last year. However, it is late. Tableau is a good solution for end customers. However, there are some concerns regarding the stability and performance of its server architecture, including SaaS services. The server side appears unstable, and performance issues are noticeable, often accompanied by unclear error messages."
"Tableau support could be improved."
"I am not a frequent user of this solution, so I am not sure what they've been doing recently. The last time when I used it, I had to use other tools with it for data extraction and cleansing. Its price should also be improved. It is more expensive than Power BI. In terms of training, there is generally better online training for Power BI, but I am not sure of that. It would be helpful to know from where to access its training."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
"The performance could be better."
"If you mainly need a tool for BI reporting, it's not the best option. Tableau needs better abilities to generate simple reports, integrate, create databases, and work with data lakes."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
