Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"Tableau's most valuable features are its ability to summarize data, provide dynamic controls for navigating different charts, and showcase historical data trends. I appreciate the option to colour-code different charts for improved customer experience."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"Gradual scalability from simple to complex situations"
"Easy to create graphs and visualizations."
"Tableau has many good features. It is user-friendly, has a simple-to-use interface, and has a customizable dashboard."
"The best thing I like about Tableau is that you don't have to go for creating; it is calculated free."
"We frequently utilize visualizations using maps and different objects, all with rich coloring options. And tooltips are absolutely essential for us. Tooltips, like the pop-up descriptions when you hover over some object or graph. Those tooltips in Tableau are great features."
"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"The price could be better."
"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."
