Find out what your peers are saying about Tableau, Qlik, Splunk and others in Data Visualization."The automatic update of the graphs from a dashboard is very convenient."
"The optimization and flexibility of visualization tools."
"Having a tool where you can find logs that were generated months ago, and being able to search over a long period of time, is great."
"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."
"It is definitely easy to use. It is intuitive, and more or less, everything can be done from the front end. As such, there is no concept of metadata. You can just take data from a database and start building your own stuff, such as OLAP data warehouse. You don't need extensive metadata modeling like Oracle BI."
"Tableau's most valuable features are user-friendliness and have a connection between multiple source systems. You can publish a report by using Tableau Public and there you can make your data online, not only batches of data, you can use it as an online analytical tool."
"The dashboards are amazing, with different report types and stunning visuals. Most importantly, Tableau's AI with machine learning automatically predicts features and reports based on historical data. These are the three most valuable features for me."
"Visualization attributes: Marks – Color, Size, Label, etc.. Easily Accessible and Intuitive."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"Provides a very good sound analysis quotient."
"It's very easy to use and users don't need any IT support to access it as the information is right there."
"Security could be improved thereby avoiding the necessity of a third party plugin."
"This solution should allow the user to combine two indices into one graph."
"Having a kind of wizard that would help you when you are typing your search would make it easier and quicker to refine your search, and ultimately find what you are looking for."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"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."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
"The SQL programming functionality needs to be improved."
"The data entered into Tableau must be clean. Otherwise, it won't work properly."
"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
