We performed a comparison between Adaptive Insights and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Automated reporting."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"Tableau has data relationships that can be applied to a data source which helps build out a directory which is helpful. Data blending has also been valuable to us."
"I believe one of the most valuable features of the solution is trend analysis."
"From the data science point of view, we use it for model building purposes. For example, if we are using it for a bank and we want to understand how much loan the bank can provide, we can use visualization to show the educational qualification, salary, gender, and city of a customer, and by using this information, we can arrive at the loan amount that this person is eligible for. I can also use it to view all prospective customers, so essentially, this is going to help me in model building as well as in understanding and segmenting customers and doing forecasting and predictive analytics. We use model widgets, and we can create thousands of visualizations, such as motion charts and bubble charts. We can also create animated versions of the graphs and view the data from multiple dimensions. These are the features that we typically use and like."
"Technical support has been responsive."
"It's the ease of use. It is also a self-service tool so it decreases the burden on having centralized IT-type teams or developers."
"The product’s performance is better than other tools."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"The best part about Tableau is the visualization."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."
"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."
"Users would like to be able to export an Excel file when they see a table or something like that. That's not an out-of-the-box feature for Tableau."
"I would like to have the product be more flexible in terms of creating online shared dashboards."
"I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
