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."We frequently utilize visualizations using maps and different objects, all with rich coloring options. And tooltips are absolutely essential for us. Tooltips, like the pop-up descriptions when you hover over some object or graph. Those tooltips in Tableau are great features."
"The maps and colors and interface are all fantastic."
"It’s good for quick visualization and being able to quickly consume unstructured data to play around with."
"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."
"The solution has a lot of customization when comparing to Microsoft BI."
"I like the visualization component."
"Tableau is good for routine dashboards, and it has integration with Slack, through which it can send you daily updates."
"Tableau has many good features. It is user-friendly, has a simple-to-use interface, and has a customizable dashboard."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"The charting is overly complex in comparison with Power BI's"
"Reports should be downloadable as PDF files."
"It would be nice if we could export more raw data. Currently, there is a limit as to how much data you can export."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"I also work as an SME on the platform side. Tableau is very nice and jazzy for the end-users, but there are pain points for the admins. Performance is something about which we hear a lot of complaints, such as the dashboard doesn't open in time. It performs well on the desktop but not on the server. I know that there is always a limitation when it comes to a huge amount of data or the complexity of the calculations, but we often hear from end-users about the performance on the server side. It is easy to drag and drop all the columns and do what we want, but if it is not going to load better on the server, users are not going to like it."
"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
