"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."

"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."

"The product must be more transparent."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"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."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
