"It provides flexibility for creating reports. It is very good for creating highly-complex reports.

"You are able to see and follow trends."
"Data Interpreter: Which can identify issues or potential errors with your imported data."
"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."
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"
"It provides business users with a tool, so they are not dependent on IT."
"Very user friendly."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
"The solution needs to be easier to scale."
"Oracle products have a lot of complications...Oracle has a history of not really providing great support."
"There's a lot of redundancy, especially in relation to creating the code."
"Supply chain and finance."
"Oracle OBIEE could improve by having better integration and compatibility with other vendors."
"I would like to see Machine Learning included in this solution."
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"The performance could be improved, like when we extract a large amount of data."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is lacking dashboards and this would be the only reason we are looking for another solution."
"There should be more integration with other platforms."
"It is not simple to use."
"Tableau was easier for me to use because the interface is more similar to Excel which I was used to using."

"It would be good if they could integrate the possibility for end users to create end models for themselves that they can use, especially for site operators, and if they could provide the end user not only the self-service BI, but also the self-service analytics, based on a predefined model, the same way that Oracle did."
"There is room for improvement in providing more user-friendly and versatile reporting options."

"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"An advanced type of visualization is a bit tricky to create. It has something called a Calculated field, and that sometimes gets a bit difficult to use when you want to create an advanced type of visualization."
"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."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"Requires a lot of user training."
"What is happening, with so many tools coming up in the market, is that people have to continuously get educated in order to use some of the more advanced features."
"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."
