"Provides a very good sound analysis quotient."

"A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool."
"It has been the best tool to work with from a self-service point of view."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
"I also work as an SME on the platform side. Tableau is very nice and jazzy for the end-users, but there are pain points for the admins. Performance is something about which we hear a lot of complaints, such as the dashboard doesn't open in time. It performs well on the desktop but not on the server. I know that there is always a limitation when it comes to a huge amount of data or the complexity of the calculations, but we often hear from end-users about the performance on the server side. It is easy to drag and drop all the columns and do what we want, but if it is not going to load better on the server, users are not going to like it."
"The SQL programming functionality needs to be improved."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"It should offer better features for customization."
"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."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
