We performed a comparison between Meraki Location Analytics and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support has always been very good."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks."
"In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible, our clients enjoy seeing the data on maps, and you do not need to be an expert in SQL to use it."
"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."
"It gives us a new dimension to the way that we analyse our data."
"The maps and colors and interface are all fantastic."
"The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it."
"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive."
"The performance could be better."
"There should be more widgets that would help less trained individuals create charts with less difficulty."
"The SQL programming functionality needs to be improved."
"They need to improve the icons and the filters, because they look too old, resembling Excel from 1997."
"Tableau could be improved by introducing a data manipulation layer within the tool itself. Currently, data manipulations require using additional tools like Alteryx. If Tableau included these capabilities, it would reduce the need for external dependencies. The tool gets slower when we feed huge amounts of data."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"Reports should be downloadable as PDF files."
"Areas for improvement would be visualization and augmented analytics. In the next release, I would like to see automated insights from the data added to the dashboard."
