"I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts."

"This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves."
"The solution is free so that is a good feature."
"The ability to design complex data models and equations."
"I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility."
"Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."

"It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool."
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."
"Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs."
"Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base."
"There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos."
"The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI."
"There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size."
"Small multiples (a.k.a. Trellis charts) are possible only through very hacky means. Update: Still remains a challenge."
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"Could have more integrations with different platforms."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"With Tableau, there is a gap in its ability to handle very large-scale data."

"Maybe the price could be a bit cheaper, especially if you're a personal developer that uses Tableau just to explore smaller data sets and you're not a company or something like that."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
