"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."
"Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding."
"Easy to create graphs and visualizations."
"Visualization attributes: Marks – Color, Size, Label, etc.. Easily Accessible and Intuitive."
"Tableau has data relationships that can be applied to a data source which helps build out a directory which is helpful. Data blending has also been valuable to us."
"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."
"The solution deployment was straightforward."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"Tableau has comprehensive, insightful charts, which allow you to build stunning dashboards and enrich your support decision-making."
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."
"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"The development part should be better. We are putting a lot of effort in during development, so if we face any struggles, we have to find workaround solutions on the internet."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."
"Creating empty extracts is not easy."
