Quotes From Members Comparing Oracle Essbase vs. Tableau
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | Tableau is an expensive solution, though it comes with its advantages. Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple. ROI is very high, but it requires a data preparation/blending tool. The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality. I like the payment model. For the people who need to create, they buy their licenses. Everyone else can use the free Tableau Viewer. This is much better than some of the competitor products, which require full licences for everything. The cost is high. Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive. I wish there was more of a subscription model with the pricing when it comes to Tableau, so you can get all the latest version upgrades/features if you pay monthly/annually. |
