"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"It's scalable."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Gradual scalability from simple to complex situations"
"Tableau is an advanced specialized tool. One of the best features I've seen is the lack of an intermediate semantic layer. I think that's an advantage compared to any other tool like BusinessObjects or Power BI, which are Tableau's biggest competitors."
"It provides business users with a tool, so they are not dependent on IT."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"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."
"The initial setup is quick and easy and you don't need special outside assistance to set everything up."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"Easy for beginners to use"
"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"The product must be more transparent."
"The product is expensive."
"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"I think Tableau could be improved with cheaper or more flexible licensing, though this is a generic improvement and applies for any product. It would be better if they had more flexible payment and licensing plans so that they could suit small- and mid-sized organizations."
"The forecasting feature in Tableau in my view is too limited because it must have dates but I should be able to predict the outcome of an event without having a date as part of the input."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"Tableau support could be improved."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."
"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."
