"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."
"Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different 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."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"It is easy to use, and it can handle a large amount of data."
"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."
"The best use case for us is the solution's integration with Salesforce because we are also partners of Salesforce."
"One of the most valuable features is that the solution allows users to build interactive dashboards. This allows the end user to modify the criteria or the filtering if need be. As far as for my personal use as a QA Engineer, I really value how extensive their API document support has been."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
"Small multiples (a.k.a. Trellis charts) are possible only through very hacky means. Update: Still remains a challenge."
"The setup was easy but we are having some problems with the configuration that is taking a long time. We have done some initial tests and some of the delays could be from bandwidth issues. However, the whole installation process should be simplified."
"A strict security measure is needed. I believe it is weak in terms of security."
"If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name."
"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."
"Include forecasting on table calculation fields."
"The price could be better."
