We performed a comparison between Board and Tableau 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."A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."
"The ability to create a data model and have it in testing within a week is fantastic."
"We can build reports super fast."
"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."
"BOARD technical support is knowledgeable and helpful."
"The reporting part has been very valuable as the capabilities of the tool do not have to change graphs, change how grids are displayed, and can create reports on the fly."
"The ability to do write back and visualization, with minimal IT development orientation."
"Tableau is easy to use and it has great predictive features."
"I like the visualization component."
"The best thing I like about Tableau is that you don't have to go for creating; it is calculated free."
"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool."
"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."
"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."
"It would be huge in the future if BOARD offered a lot more graphs and presentations, and it was a lot easier to use."
"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. "
"We are looking at ways to improve how we deal with security in BOARD and other similar things. "
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"I would like to be able to set the parameters in a more specific manner."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."
"I am a BI consultant. I have worked on different reporting tools, such as Power BI and MicroStrategy. As compared to other tools, Tableau lags behind in handling huge enterprise-level data in terms of robust security and the single integrated metadata concept. When we connect to large or very big databases, then performance-wise, I sometimes found Tableau a little bit slow. It can have the single metadata concept like other tools for the reusability of the objects in multiple reports."
"It should offer better features for customization."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"The ability to use it on MAC machines. As far as I know, this is not possible."
