"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."
"It's easy to use."
"Tableau's visualization features let you present information insights quickly and practically. So it's something which I prefer with Tableau. In terms of reporting, I have to point out the sheer quality and function of the Tableau server, but the first impression is that it's a great visualization tool."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"The initial setup is quick and easy and you don't need special outside assistance to set everything up."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"It's a very good, flexible product, and it's easy to learn."
"It's very user-friendly. It's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly. Anybody can use Tableau. It's very easy to adopt things. I can visualize the stats."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"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."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"It needs more ETL capabilities, to be able to address the end-to-end BI need."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"The use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates which lead to reinstalling the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version, it would be great."
"When it comes to visualizations, Tableau has a limitation as compared to Power BI. It has a limited set of visualizations. Power BI has the entire marketplace, so you can connect and import many visualizations and use them, whereas Tableau has only 10 or 15 visualizations. There should be more visualizations, and there should also be data integration with more cloud providers."
