"While there aren't any major areas where the solution has to be improved, there are certain integrations that are still not available. I would specifically like to see legacy applications integrated."

"One issue is that we are getting a lot of false positives. We are trying to reduce them by customizing the default rules, changing thresholds, and using white-listing and black-listing. It's getting better and better as a result. But they need to build components that would reduce the false positives."
"We usually have to follow up with technical support on our open cases."

"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
"The data processing in Tableau is pathetic compared to Qlik."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
"There should be more widgets that would help less trained individuals create charts with less difficulty."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
