Uzair Faruqi - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services
Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization
Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.
* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Before we built a data platform using Tableau we were unable to align our employees around their data."
"From my perspective, it enables clients to better understand our data and make better decisions based on that information."
"Its dashboarding is the most valuable. It is easy to create visualizations and dashboards and import Excel sheets and ESP files in Tableau as compared to other tools."
"It is an excellent tool for data capture, processing, and visualization."
"We’ve been able to replace several manual spreadsheet reports that took hours for individuals to complete, and with Tableau Server and some automation processes put in place, those reports are now automatically delivered to the end users, saving time and money."
"Tableau has comprehensive, insightful charts, which allow you to build stunning dashboards and enrich your support decision-making."
"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."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"Many users in my organization feel that Tableau is great with RDBMS, but with Hadoop or cube data sources, the performance is not so great."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"I would like to see them add new charts, especially gauges, which are unfortunately not currently available in Tableau."
"Tableau Public is free, which is incredible. However, the paid version is too expensive per user."
"It needs a more robust way to connect and share the big-data origin."
"There is still room to improve visualization when more than two dimensions are synchronized."
"The integration and usage of multiple data sources is sometimes not that straightforward."
"Overall, the only major frustration that I have had so far is with Tableau Public. I first used Tableau Public when I was building capacity, and when there was a later release to download and you wanted to upgrade, all your work would have to be manually re-entered."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required, we pay an annual license which is priced fair."
"The professional version of Tableau is quite expensive."
"Tableau is not as cost-effective as Microsoft BI."
"This solution is a bit expensive. The pricing options have become more difficult over the years. I think they are bordering on pricing themselves out of the market. They need different pricing options for various-sized businesses. Where my organization is a large organization, we are happy to pay a higher price because we can leverage the products very extensively. For smaller enterprises, different pricing options would be good."
"Its price is higher than Power BI and QlikView. Tableau costs around $70 per user per month, whereas Power BI is around $8 to $9. QlikView is around $30. Tableau has various prices for various models such as Creator, Designer."
"There is a license for the use of this solution and it is on a per-user basis. The server is free but the users you have to pay for."
"ROI is very high, but it requires a data preparation/blending tool."
"The initial cost that is set according to CPU cores is expensive."
