"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"Analysis is now more visual than in the past."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"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."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"The product offers an intuitive user interface, detailed screens and widgets, and the absence of data limitations"
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"The UI part is the best. The end-users can easily get started with Tableau Desktop or Tableau Online because of its user-friendliness."
"You are able to see and follow trends."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"The setup was easy but we are having some problems with the configuration that is taking a long time. We have done some initial tests and some of the delays could be from bandwidth issues. However, the whole installation process should be simplified."
"Whenever it comes to specialized visualization, Tableau is an absolute failure."
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation."
"There's no mature ETL tool in Tableau, which is quite a negative for them."
