We performed a comparison between Tableau and Zoho Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability of filtering and segmentation of the data makes it very flexible compared to other tools."
"One of the most valuable features of Tableau is that it's a visual analytics solution, not just a dashboarding solution. Compared to Power BI, which is a dashboarding solution, there are no limitations with Tableau. For example, when you add a chart or a map to Power BI, it has a 3,000-point limitation. When you try to track your whole vehicle on the map, you only see the first 3,000 rows on the map, and Power BI doesn't tell you which part of the data is shown on the map. But Tableau doesn't have any limitations, which means that you can see five million data points on a map. It starts the project by creating the visuals that directly converts to SQLs. In that way, all the components have no limitations. When we compared Tableau to Power BI, we also found Tableau to be more fancy. Fancy means you can create more visual graphics and more visual dashboards. With Power BI, this isn't so—it's just some tables and some simple charts together. Tableau is more for business users who want to analyze data. Tableau can directly connect the analytics systems, like R or Titan, and get the results in screen, so it's a good solution for analytics scientists. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data."
"This solution has transformed us from an Excel reporting environment to one of visual exploration."
"When compared to Power BI, Tableau has more readily available resources."
"Good data flow and management."
"The number one thing was just the ease of getting something up quickly. The other thing that was good about it was that it was fairly fast for decent-sized data sets in terms of performance and run time."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The most valuable part of the solution is the general dashboard features."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"The forecasting feature in Tableau in my view is too limited because it must have dates but I should be able to predict the outcome of an event without having a date as part of the input."
"Other tools are more competitively priced."
"The charting is overly complex in comparison with Power BI's"
"With performance tuning, it generates a pretty complex query when it is not required."
"Tableau is an end-to-end analytics platform, and it is doing a pretty good job in terms of connecting to the data and analyzing it. It can, however, do better in terms of data management and the ETL features, which are not on the advanced analytics or machine learning side. Tableau Prep is where users would want to see more advancements. They can improve Tableau Prep, which is an analytic platform tool for data cleansing. People who work with data spend most of their time curating the data. Cleaning up the data and getting it ready for analysis is what takes the most time. If Tableau can invest more time in improving the Tableau Prep platform, it would be great. Previously, Tableau didn't have the functionality for writing to a database. So, you couldn't really alter the database tables and write to your database, but they fixed that in one of the very recent releases. However, it isn't really advanced and should be improved."
"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."
"They need to improve the icons and the filters, because they look too old, resembling Excel from 1997."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
