Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."It includes valuable features like a dashboard, reporting, visualization, etc."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"It's easy to use."
"Tableau is easy to use. That's the first and most important thing. I not only provide consulting but I also train people to use it, so with its ease-of-use it's not as difficult for me to train executives and management staff, because they don't have the IT background, unlike when I'm using Python."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now."
"It’s good for quick visualization and being able to quickly consume unstructured data to play around with."
"Tableau has greatly enhanced our organization's data-driven decision-making processes by enabling us to create visually compelling reports and dashboards."
"I like Tableau's heat maps and the storyboard. You can create data stories and tons of visuals with it, and it goes together really well. Tableau lets you manipulate the data in various ways."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"Creating empty extracts is not easy."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The price could be better."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
"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."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
