"It should offer better features for customization."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."

"When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations.

There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers."
"If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
