Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we can integrate with our own database, and it will displays the KPIs. This is highly required from the business side."
"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"The solution deployment was straightforward."
"The dashboards are amazing, with different report types and stunning visuals. Most importantly, Tableau's AI with machine learning automatically predicts features and reports based on historical data. These are the three most valuable features for me."
"The ease of presenting findings is very helpful."
"It's very easy to use and users don't need any IT support to access it as the information is right there."
"Great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, and the solution is also very cost effective."
"I am looking forward to testing their full graphics that are available, as they looked very interesting in the demo."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
"The data preparation could integrate better with Tableau."
"We need big servers to perform the operations that we are doing. They should probably relook at its architecture."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
"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."
"The price could be better."
"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."
