Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"It's pretty easy to deploy."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The initial setup is not very complex."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"Once you open it up, you see everything that you can do."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"We frequently utilize visualizations using maps and different objects, all with rich coloring options. And tooltips are absolutely essential for us. Tooltips, like the pop-up descriptions when you hover over some object or graph. Those tooltips in Tableau are great features."
"The best part about Tableau is the visualization."
"Tableau's initial setup was straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"Tableau is very good in the front-end visualization compared to Power BI."
"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."
"You can create attractive dashboards that inform users using Tableau."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"Quality of support varies."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The pricing is high."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help."
"Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"The solution is quite costly."
"With Tableau, there is a gap in its ability to handle very large-scale data."
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. The other thing that I never liked about Tableau is its ability to handle large sets of data. To present the data in the dashboards, we have to stage it up exactly like it is going to come into the dashboard. We use another tool called Alteryx that does that for us. So, we manipulate the data, get it staged, and then push it into Tableau. Tableau is terrible at handling large data sets, and we knew right away that we couldn't use Tableau to do data manipulation."
"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."
"I am not a frequent user of this solution, so I am not sure what they've been doing recently. The last time when I used it, I had to use other tools with it for data extraction and cleansing. Its price should also be improved. It is more expensive than Power BI. In terms of training, there is generally better online training for Power BI, but I am not sure of that. It would be helpful to know from where to access its training."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"When you're working on a dashboard, you can't select multiple components at a time and align them, so you have to go one by one. This is very cumbersome."
