Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"The platform's most important feature is predictive analysis."
"I have found the solution easy to use and the interface is very good."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"Technical support has been responsive."
"Visualization attributes: Marks – Color, Size, Label, etc.. Easily Accessible and Intuitive."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"R and automation services."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"We would like a report model, because currently there is no schema that we can create in the tool."
"Users would like to be able to export an Excel file when they see a table or something like that. That's not an out-of-the-box feature for Tableau."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"The development part should be better. We are putting a lot of effort in during development, so if we face any struggles, we have to find workaround solutions on the internet."
"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"Implementation requires a technical background."
"I also work as an SME on the platform side. Tableau is very nice and jazzy for the end-users, but there are pain points for the admins. Performance is something about which we hear a lot of complaints, such as the dashboard doesn't open in time. It performs well on the desktop but not on the server. I know that there is always a limitation when it comes to a huge amount of data or the complexity of the calculations, but we often hear from end-users about the performance on the server side. It is easy to drag and drop all the columns and do what we want, but if it is not going to load better on the server, users are not going to like it."
"I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
