"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"Tableau has many good features. It is user-friendly, has a simple-to-use interface, and has a customizable dashboard."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."
"Its dashboarding is the most valuable. It is easy to create visualizations and dashboards and import Excel sheets and ESP files in Tableau as compared to other tools."
"It's very easy to use and users don't need any IT support to access it as the information is right there."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"It's very user-friendly. It's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly. Anybody can use Tableau. It's very easy to adopt things. I can visualize the stats."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. The other thing that I never liked about Tableau is its ability to handle large sets of data. To present the data in the dashboards, we have to stage it up exactly like it is going to come into the dashboard. We use another tool called Alteryx that does that for us. So, we manipulate the data, get it staged, and then push it into Tableau. Tableau is terrible at handling large data sets, and we knew right away that we couldn't use Tableau to do data manipulation."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"They need to improve the icons and the filters, because they look too old, resembling Excel from 1997."
"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 pricing is high. I'm using a student license, however, I know that even this license is very expensive. I've tried to have this product in our organization, however, it's quite expensive. We don't have the internal budget."
"I would like Tableau to handle geospatial data better in terms of multiple layers and shapefiles."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"I would like the solution to have certain features allowing the delivery of reports to the email."
