"The solution scales extremely well."
"It's scalable."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"The solution helps users create dashboards and analyze data without relying on IT or product teams."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the general dashboard features."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"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."
"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 best thing I like about Tableau is that you don't have to go for creating; it is calculated free."
"The stability seems to be very reliable."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"The product is expensive."
"Include forecasting on table calculation fields."
"The price could be better."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
"Provide additional enhancements in any business process: Operations, Marketing and Sales, Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, etc."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."
