The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. If Tableau is on-premises, you have to monitor the server, recycle it, and restart it. However, if it is in the cloud, the admin role is completely reduced. We don't have a Tableau admin. The solution solves my problem, it is working as expected, and I have no complaints from my end. There will always be complexities. We have to create a good data model so Tableau can use it. It's up to the team to make it complex or easy. Very good. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
We realized the benefits of Tableau within a month or so. We got the appropriate skill set to work on the solution directly and got fantastic outputs after deploying it in our systems. We are working with the government directly. The government has observed that the tool is fantastic. The tool has multiple features, and they are getting the desired output. We are still exploring how many other features and functionalities of Tableau we can use. We are still trying to integrate Tableau with other platforms to exploit the maximum potential of the portals, services, or software. We are still exploring those opportunities. We have integrated the solution with different schemes and applications, and it works seamlessly. We are still discovering how many other platforms can be integrated with Tableau. As of now, we haven't faced any issues. We may face some challenges because we are currently trying to integrate it with the SAP environment. I strongly recommend Tableau to other users because it is a fantastic tool that provides impressive dashboards and customized reports. Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

I rate Tableau a nine out of ten. I advise others to help from experienced consultant teams and trusted vendors for implementation. Another piece of advice is to begin small by downloading Tableau Desktop, testing it with your data, and familiarizing yourself with its logic. They can increase their knowledge with online training sources published on the product's website. It is free to access.

I would look at Microsoft Power BI. I am unsure if I would push Tableau since it is not a widely used tool. I don't know if others in the field of jewelry use Tableau. Overall, I rate the solution between a seven and eight out of ten.
I'm an analytics lead. I'm an integrator of the product. We work with Tableau Cloud and with the Tableau Server. Make sure you are really ready to integrate with Tableau. That will make the deployment go much more smoothly. Users that are fully prepared will be able to get the most out of it. If they are not prepared, they will not use it to the fullest extent possible. Sometimes you have to change not just the tool; you have to change the entire company's process. The product implementation needs to be considered at all steps, both within the company and for all stakeholders. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people. For those thinking of implementing it, you can go with Tableau Online if you don't do too much data manipulation on the Tableau desktop itself. Try to keep it in a different layer of Tableau Prep and also make sure that your desktop is not heavy and leverage the features properly because Tableau offers a lot. I would give Tableau a rating of eight out of ten.

My advice to others that are wanting to implement this solution is for them to use use the online community. There are many good resources, and examples for implementing solutions. There is plenty of support. I rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
My ultimate advice is that you should know what the tool is capable of first and what your needs are. I think it's better to use the Server edition, and not Cloud, because there are a lot of problems in the Cloud version that don't seem to be present in the Server version. As for myself, I will likely switch to Tableau Server next year after doing a bit more research on how to do the changeover. I would rate Tableau an eight out of ten.
We're consultants. We're using the most recent version of the product. What we do is download the on-premises for testing in order to see the new capabilities. It's a very mature tool with a lot of enhancements in the last two or three years. Our advice is that, if you are going to use it as an end-user, it's a very beautiful tool. If you are going to use it in an institutional way, you have to take good care of your ETLs and you have to design a very good data warehouse. That's what they don't do. That's what many, many, many organizations don't do. I don't know if that's the case with Snowflake or Microsoft Power BI. You must take care of your warehouse information if you are going to have a very good design, granularity, and time framing after three months to one year of information. The dashboards and the ETLs must do more work than Tableau. If not, you're going to crash. One of the problems that we had was due to the fact that Tableau said that you could reach the SAP information and that was not true. You need a third-party developer. That's an additional cost and additional training. However, with a solution like QlikView, they have a very beautiful integration with SAP. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Because the solution is a drag and drop tool and what unique features we need or what we want to build, we cannot build using the tool. So we use JavaScript for that. We write our own code and build our own solutions. My advice would be that all solutions are good, but it depends on your use case. If you are building something for C-level employees, use Tableau or another solution. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I would rate Tableau seven out of 10. Other tools are more competitively priced, but I wouldn't give it a low rating because Tableau still provides the functionality our clients need. I would recommend it.
Tableau is extremely user-friendly through drag and drop and automatic visualizations. However, if you need to include complex calculations, the capabilities are available to the advanced user.
They listen to customers and as a result, they periodically add valuable new features, several times a year.
What started as a data visualization curiosity back in 2003 has become a very robust Business Intelligence tool.

Do take time to learn the solution, because Tableau has a lot of features, a lot of complex visualization features that can make the visualization pretty powerful. I would advise people to learn it completely so they can use Tableau to its full extent rather than just ad hoc simple visualizations. I would rate Tableau right at 8.5, leaning toward 9.
I'm simply an end-user of the product. I don't have a business relationship with Tableau. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. I'd like to talk to a Tableau product manager about the solution and describe how I would like the solution to work, especially around deeper analysis.

A good chunk of it has got nothing to do with the tool. It has everything to do with your leadership and your governance requiring it. We had our IT team roll up Tableau multiple times and not a single person used it because there just wasn't enough leadership support to use it. There is nothing wrong with the tool, and it worked fine for what it did, but every time I logged into it, I go, "Okay, but what did you want me to actually do with this? I see all this information. I understand it clearly. I'm not sure what I do with it though." So, without that additional guidance from leadership, rolling it out is irrelevant. You need to have that strategic leadership associated with it. The key piece of advice would be that you got to look beyond your tool. You need to look at how you're going to get this information used in your organization. What kind of leadership support, governance support, and ongoing support are you going to have? It is all based on trusted data. The value of the tool is based on the quality of your data and the leadership's support to use it. So, if you don't have high-quality data and you don't have leadership support to use the data, you don't need any tool because nobody is going to use it. I would rate Tableau a seven out of 10. It suits the purpose, but in and of itself, I don't think it is significantly better or worse than its key competitors.
The solution is mostly deployed on-premises, although we have also done cloud-based deployment. We have around 500-plus users making use of the solution and mostly 90 percent are viewers. We have very few creators or explorers. Creators comprise seven percent and explorers three percent. My advice to others would vary depending on their use cases, what they're looking for and the level of competency they have within their organization to use it. Tableau has a steep learning curve. So, it depends upon one's use case, the reason the person is going with that specific BI tool. The procurement department would need to evaluate the use cases very carefully, because there are so many BI tools available in the market. One's focus should be more on a centralized tool when bringing a new one to his organization. It should address all the answers to one's users, like what they're looking for. Definitely Tableau is good in the data discovery part and it can handle large data sets. So, all of these things should matter when one is trying to evaluate a tool. I rate Tableau as a seven out of ten. This is because we are using it and it has a steep learning curve. It's not user-friendly. One must build a competency in creating the visualization and then support it. All of these things matter when one is evaluating a tool. That's why a shift is going towards Power BI.

My advice to those wanting to implement the solution would be, if you are looking for ETL heavy tools, this may not be the right choice. However, if you want beautiful visualizations and getting insights from data at high speed. This would be a good solution for that focus. I rate Tableau an eight out of ten.

We are a customer and an end-user. We are currently using the latest version of the solution. I would recommend the solution. If a company really wants to go for some easy solutions, and something that is robust and dynamic this is a great option. Microsoft's Power BI also has its advantages and could be a good option as well, depending on what a company needs. If Mircosoft offered a bit more, we might even consider switching over. However, for us, Tableau is the better option. I'm using Microsoft Power BI also. Therefore, personally, I see the importance of the ETL tool. Microsoft is also adding many items rapidly - with new features two or three times a month. Tableau isn't making such advances regularly. Many people are considering shifting from Tableau to Microsoft very seriously. Therefore, Tableau needs to begin to compete. They need to offer more integrations and invest in a robust and easy ETL solution. It would really assist in cleaning the data. If a company wants to onboard Tableau, they need to have some sort of ETL tool on the side as well. If they don't, and they don't have SQL or Python, I'd actually direct them to Power BI - simply to get that ETL capability. However, if the data is ready, and no ETL is required, Tableau is an excellent solution. If you just need to visualize the data, Tableau is the best. Overall, due to the lack of ETL, and the inability to effectively clean the data, I would rate the solution at a six out of ten.
I would recommend this solution if you do not have budget constraints. It is a very good solution with excellent visualizations. I plan to keep using it for academic purposes. I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
It's important to understand your needs because if you only need to build dashboards, Tableau is not essential. But if you need a deeper business intelligence project, and you have higher expectations, Tableau would be the solution. If you only need to build some dashboards, you can use Power BI, it's a very good tool and it's cheaper. If your project is more ambitious then go for Tableau. Tableau has a lot of experience and can solve all the typical problems. I rate this solution a nine out of 10.

Tableau is a wonderful tool, but you should know the proper methodology of using it and the specific situations for which it is helpful. This is very important. For example, we can use a knife to cut vegetables, but it can also cut my hand. One should be able to understand the visualization that you are constructing in less than 30 seconds. Otherwise, the visualization doesn't meet the purpose. This is the benchmark that I have set myself. I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.

Tableau allows us to go deep inside the data — other solutions, like Excel, don't allow you to do that. As a BI tool, I would give Tableau a rating of eight out of ten — it's one of the easiest BI tools available; however, it's not that easy to manage orders. It's really user-friendly for individual users, but it may not be suitable for large organizations.
SQL is the most important. Writing SQL queries is very important and that's the first foundation I would recommend for any juniors to start. If they're not very strong in SQL then they will not be able to write the functions for both Power BI and Tableau. SQL is the foundation for anything. I would rate Tableau a seven out of ten.

When purchasing the product, start out by only getting a minimal amount of licenses. This solution is not like Microsoft Office where many people know how to use it and can learn fairly quickly. This solution takes time to learn, buying too many licenses could be a waste of money if you do not have employees that can use it. Additionally, when you are using the solution work closely with stakeholders to make sure what you are processing what they are looking for by using the mock-up feature. If you do not then you could have completed a lot of work that they did not want. I rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
Customers need more insights and hence, they should look into Natural Language Processing (NLP). The ability to analyze text data or focus group discussions or radio phone-in programs would be helpful. When there is a major upgrade and you install it, it wipes off all of the recently used files and newbies get frustrated. If something can be done about it then that will be very helpful
I wouldn't tell people to go with Tableau just because it's the tool that I use. I would instead emphasize its remarkable ease-of-use and the way Tableau really listens to their users and comes up with frequent upgrades. I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.

It requires splitting up the data into smaller data files or we need to find another way from Tableau itself. They may have another scalable product, that can be used for large amounts of data. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We're only customers. We don't have a business relationship with the company. We have not moved to the cloud so far with this product. Only SAP Ariba is on the cloud. The rest of our solutions, all analytical solutions, are on-premise solutions only. Businesses should know what exactly they can do with Tableau. It's not just a visualization center or dashboard. You can contact a lot of assets that are in use - such as institutional analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics. It can integrate with any artificial intelligence learning solutions and analytic solutions. That is where big data analytics play an important role. Modern business is more focused on all sorts of big database analytical solutions, especially for retail and other larger CRM business. A company needs to decide answers to questions such as "how do you extract data?" or "Which department wants what data?". They would definitely need to have an initial, extremely focused approach of implementing it, with the full participation of the business teams. That is how a successful Tableau implementation needs to happen. However, it doesn't end there. You also need to educate business users or corporates on the solution as well. Tableau is an extremely good product. I'd advise other users to use all aspects of and take advantage of its capabilities. Tableau has many licensing products available and a whole analytical model should be under one platform rather than going for bits and pieces from Oracle, IBM, SAP, Microsoft, etc. Tableau is undisputedly the leader of the whole analytical solution and it should remain so only because it should have a larger use phase. The training of Tableau is good, however, users should be aware that the consultants' availability across various countries is limited. I'm from Bangalore and if I need a Tableau consultant it's very difficult to locate one. You can, however, often find freelancing consultants. They can also get the job done. Overall, I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. There are so many solutions on the market. Primavera solution is a project management software. There is no product that can beat Primavera in the project management functions so you have many such project management products, SAP Project Manager, Product and Portfolio management is there, Microsoft Project is there. There are other Oracle project management solutions out there and then Primavera is there. When Oracle purchased this solution, the popularity of Primavera died out. I've personally stopped recommending that particular product. There are others that cost less, so why use that one? Tableau should learn from Primavera, and ensure it builds its user base and market its abilities so that corporates understand the depth and breadth of its usage. Many only use 10-20% of its capabilities. It's the duty of Tableau to ensure potential use cases are advertised and more information is disseminated to corporates to help them understand how it can benefit them and why that should adopt it.

Our company has a partnership with Tableau. I've used both on-premises and cloud, depending on the requirements. This particular solution is quite an easy to use product. It's very robust. Even a layman who has previously was not worked with any other BI tools would love to work on this. They will find many things easier to implement. There are a few other tools that are in the market. However, from an implementation point of view, it's very robust. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten overall.

I would recommend anyone looking at this solution to check the validity of the business case. If you don't have a very expensive business case and you're going to be on the data processing side, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the product. But if you have standard templates and can just put in the data, export the defaults and send it, then it's a good solution because there's no complexity. I would rate this solution a seven out of 10.
Be careful with tableau support. Stay in touch with the professional partners because Tableau itself does not have the right number of developers or people for support.

Tableau provides a UI which can be used to build a clear graphical visualization that allows quick and easy data comprehension. This functionality really helps turn data into scalable insights. This makes things a lot easier for people who don't have coding experience and with dedicated people focused on managing the visualizations, not requiring them all to be developers or to have any coding experience is a real plus. If I was to give this solution a rating from one-to-ten, ten is the best, I'd rate it a 9 because it does all that we require of it and more. I would recommend this solution to my colleagues from another company. It's a nice tool to work with.

First, clients should be comfortable with the existing resources or existing platform which the organization is using - that is one of the very important aspects before you decide on any new tool or any kind of new technology. Second, you want to go ahead and invite a new application into your current system. Ask how compatible the application is before you decide on any new product in your organization. Third, you should consider if your employees are comfortable with the new incoming technology in terms of whether it’s easy to learn or adapt. Ask how comfortable your employees are before you bring any new tool into your organization These are the key important points. I will rate Tableau at eight out of ten because there will be some shortcomings in the application that are not up to the mark.
I am very satisfied with it. I would recommend it. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * Customer care quality * The learning instruments provided via webinars and YouTube videos to improve my skills as fast as possible.
I have only trialed it. I could not get this product signed off due to budget constraints, not related to Tableau (which is far from the most expensive out there). Recommendations to others considering the product: Trial it and play around with it. You will be amazed at how quickly you pick it up.
Do not hesitate to implement Tableau. You will not regret it if you are looking for a visualization and discovery tool. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * Customers' experiences * Transparency * The financial stability of the company.

If you are building something for C-level employees, use Tableau or another solution. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I would rate Tableau seven out of 10. Other tools are more competitively priced, but I wouldn't give it a low rating because Tableau still provides the functionality our clients need. I would recommend it.
Tableau is extremely user-friendly through drag and drop and automatic visualizations. However, if you need to include complex calculations, the capabilities are available to the advanced user.
They listen to customers and as a result, they periodically add valuable new features, several times a year.
What started as a data visualization curiosity back in 2003 has become a very robust Business Intelligence tool.
Do take time to learn the solution, because Tableau has a lot of features, a lot of complex visualization features that can make the visualization pretty powerful. I would advise people to learn it completely so they can use Tableau to its full extent rather than just ad hoc simple visualizations. I would rate Tableau right at 8.5, leaning toward 9.
I rate Tableau nine out of 10. I would recommend this to anyone who is coming into the data analytics space.
I'm simply an end-user of the product. I don't have a business relationship with Tableau. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. I'd like to talk to a Tableau product manager about the solution and describe how I would like the solution to work, especially around deeper analysis.
I rate Tableau eight out of 10.
I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate Tableau an eight out of 10.
I rate the solution nine out of 10, there's always room for improvement.
A good chunk of it has got nothing to do with the tool. It has everything to do with your leadership and your governance requiring it. We had our IT team roll up Tableau multiple times and not a single person used it because there just wasn't enough leadership support to use it. There is nothing wrong with the tool, and it worked fine for what it did, but every time I logged into it, I go, "Okay, but what did you want me to actually do with this? I see all this information. I understand it clearly. I'm not sure what I do with it though." So, without that additional guidance from leadership, rolling it out is irrelevant. You need to have that strategic leadership associated with it. The key piece of advice would be that you got to look beyond your tool. You need to look at how you're going to get this information used in your organization. What kind of leadership support, governance support, and ongoing support are you going to have? It is all based on trusted data. The value of the tool is based on the quality of your data and the leadership's support to use it. So, if you don't have high-quality data and you don't have leadership support to use the data, you don't need any tool because nobody is going to use it. I would rate Tableau a seven out of 10. It suits the purpose, but in and of itself, I don't think it is significantly better or worse than its key competitors.
I rate Tableau a seven out of ten.
The solution is mostly deployed on-premises, although we have also done cloud-based deployment. We have around 500-plus users making use of the solution and mostly 90 percent are viewers. We have very few creators or explorers. Creators comprise seven percent and explorers three percent. My advice to others would vary depending on their use cases, what they're looking for and the level of competency they have within their organization to use it. Tableau has a steep learning curve. So, it depends upon one's use case, the reason the person is going with that specific BI tool. The procurement department would need to evaluate the use cases very carefully, because there are so many BI tools available in the market. One's focus should be more on a centralized tool when bringing a new one to his organization. It should address all the answers to one's users, like what they're looking for. Definitely Tableau is good in the data discovery part and it can handle large data sets. So, all of these things should matter when one is trying to evaluate a tool. I rate Tableau as a seven out of ten. This is because we are using it and it has a steep learning curve. It's not user-friendly. One must build a competency in creating the visualization and then support it. All of these things matter when one is evaluating a tool. That's why a shift is going towards Power BI.
You can do a lot in Tableau, and on a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at eight.
I would recommend this solution to others to start using it. I rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
I recommend this solution. We are constantly promoting Tableau. I rate this solution an eight out of 10.
My advice to those wanting to implement the solution would be, if you are looking for ETL heavy tools, this may not be the right choice. However, if you want beautiful visualizations and getting insights from data at high speed. This would be a good solution for that focus. I rate Tableau an eight out of ten.
We are a customer and an end-user. We are currently using the latest version of the solution. I would recommend the solution. If a company really wants to go for some easy solutions, and something that is robust and dynamic this is a great option. Microsoft's Power BI also has its advantages and could be a good option as well, depending on what a company needs. If Mircosoft offered a bit more, we might even consider switching over. However, for us, Tableau is the better option. I'm using Microsoft Power BI also. Therefore, personally, I see the importance of the ETL tool. Microsoft is also adding many items rapidly - with new features two or three times a month. Tableau isn't making such advances regularly. Many people are considering shifting from Tableau to Microsoft very seriously. Therefore, Tableau needs to begin to compete. They need to offer more integrations and invest in a robust and easy ETL solution. It would really assist in cleaning the data. If a company wants to onboard Tableau, they need to have some sort of ETL tool on the side as well. If they don't, and they don't have SQL or Python, I'd actually direct them to Power BI - simply to get that ETL capability. However, if the data is ready, and no ETL is required, Tableau is an excellent solution. If you just need to visualize the data, Tableau is the best. Overall, due to the lack of ETL, and the inability to effectively clean the data, I would rate the solution at a six out of ten.
I rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
I would recommend this solution if you do not have budget constraints. It is a very good solution with excellent visualizations. I plan to keep using it for academic purposes. I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
It's important to understand your needs because if you only need to build dashboards, Tableau is not essential. But if you need a deeper business intelligence project, and you have higher expectations, Tableau would be the solution. If you only need to build some dashboards, you can use Power BI, it's a very good tool and it's cheaper. If your project is more ambitious then go for Tableau. Tableau has a lot of experience and can solve all the typical problems. I rate this solution a nine out of 10.
Tableau is a wonderful tool, but you should know the proper methodology of using it and the specific situations for which it is helpful. This is very important. For example, we can use a knife to cut vegetables, but it can also cut my hand. One should be able to understand the visualization that you are constructing in less than 30 seconds. Otherwise, the visualization doesn't meet the purpose. This is the benchmark that I have set myself. I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Tableau allows us to go deep inside the data — other solutions, like Excel, don't allow you to do that. As a BI tool, I would give Tableau a rating of eight out of ten — it's one of the easiest BI tools available; however, it's not that easy to manage orders. It's really user-friendly for individual users, but it may not be suitable for large organizations.
I would recommend Tableau to new users. This is a great tool. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Tableau a ten.
SQL is the most important. Writing SQL queries is very important and that's the first foundation I would recommend for any juniors to start. If they're not very strong in SQL then they will not be able to write the functions for both Power BI and Tableau. SQL is the foundation for anything. I would rate Tableau a seven out of ten.
We're just potential customers and end-users of the product. We don't have a business relationship with Tableau. I'm very new to the product and still really just testing it out to see how I could potentially work with it in the future. I'm working with the latest version of the solution. Overall, in my short time using the product, I've been largely happy with the results. I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten.
This solution has broadened my VA exposure and it has allowed me to do things differently with respect to VA concepts and visualization. I have a great takeaway from my experience with the solution. I would recommend Tableau because of the amazing dashboards that are appealing and that also gives us the ability to create with far better customizations. I rate Tableau an eight out of ten.
It's hosted on the Tableau server and hosted within our infrastructure and hosted in AWS. I would recommend this solution to others with the understanding that they will not receive an instant response from Tableau technical support. Also, because of the pricing, it may not be something suggested for a startup company. I would rate this solution a five out of ten.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
When purchasing the product, start out by only getting a minimal amount of licenses. This solution is not like Microsoft Office where many people know how to use it and can learn fairly quickly. This solution takes time to learn, buying too many licenses could be a waste of money if you do not have employees that can use it. Additionally, when you are using the solution work closely with stakeholders to make sure what you are processing what they are looking for by using the mock-up feature. If you do not then you could have completed a lot of work that they did not want. I rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
Customers need more insights and hence, they should look into Natural Language Processing (NLP). The ability to analyze text data or focus group discussions or radio phone-in programs would be helpful. When there is a major upgrade and you install it, it wipes off all of the recently used files and newbies get frustrated. If something can be done about it then that will be very helpful
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I wouldn't tell people to go with Tableau just because it's the tool that I use. I would instead emphasize its remarkable ease-of-use and the way Tableau really listens to their users and comes up with frequent upgrades. I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten.
We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with Tableau. I currently have a student license. I'm not sure which version I currently have. I mostly leverage the solution for personal use. I would warn those considering the solution to take a look at the price and make sure it is within their company's budget. Overall, I would rate the product nine out of ten. I've been quite happy with it.
We plan to continue using this solution and I can recommend it. It's a good product but large volume data is an issue. Maybe people will have to work around it to make it smaller. It requires splitting up the data into smaller data files or we need to find another way from Tableau itself. They may have another scalable product, that can be used for large amounts of data. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
I'm a BI Architect. My recommendation for this solution would depend on the use cases. I would rate Tableau and eight out of ten.
I would rate Tableau a nine out of ten. It's a good thing that I'm able to visualize my raw data. In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard.
We're only customers. We don't have a business relationship with the company. We have not moved to the cloud so far with this product. Only SAP Ariba is on the cloud. The rest of our solutions, all analytical solutions, are on-premise solutions only. Businesses should know what exactly they can do with Tableau. It's not just a visualization center or dashboard. You can contact a lot of assets that are in use - such as institutional analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics. It can integrate with any artificial intelligence learning solutions and analytic solutions. That is where big data analytics play an important role. Modern business is more focused on all sorts of big database analytical solutions, especially for retail and other larger CRM business. A company needs to decide answers to questions such as "how do you extract data?" or "Which department wants what data?". They would definitely need to have an initial, extremely focused approach of implementing it, with the full participation of the business teams. That is how a successful Tableau implementation needs to happen. However, it doesn't end there. You also need to educate business users or corporates on the solution as well. Tableau is an extremely good product. I'd advise other users to use all aspects of and take advantage of its capabilities. Tableau has many licensing products available and a whole analytical model should be under one platform rather than going for bits and pieces from Oracle, IBM, SAP, Microsoft, etc. Tableau is undisputedly the leader of the whole analytical solution and it should remain so only because it should have a larger use phase. The training of Tableau is good, however, users should be aware that the consultants' availability across various countries is limited. I'm from Bangalore and if I need a Tableau consultant it's very difficult to locate one. You can, however, often find freelancing consultants. They can also get the job done. Overall, I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. There are so many solutions on the market. Primavera solution is a project management software. There is no product that can beat Primavera in the project management functions so you have many such project management products, SAP Project Manager, Product and Portfolio management is there, Microsoft Project is there. There are other Oracle project management solutions out there and then Primavera is there. When Oracle purchased this solution, the popularity of Primavera died out. I've personally stopped recommending that particular product. There are others that cost less, so why use that one? Tableau should learn from Primavera, and ensure it builds its user base and market its abilities so that corporates understand the depth and breadth of its usage. Many only use 10-20% of its capabilities. It's the duty of Tableau to ensure potential use cases are advertised and more information is disseminated to corporates to help them understand how it can benefit them and why that should adopt it.
For small-scale to medium-scale projects, I would recommend Tableau or Power BI. For large-scale projects, I would recommend MicroStrategy. I would rate Tableau a seven out of ten. Most of the things are good in this solution.
Our company has a partnership with Tableau. I've used both on-premises and cloud, depending on the requirements. This particular solution is quite an easy to use product. It's very robust. Even a layman who has previously was not worked with any other BI tools would love to work on this. They will find many things easier to implement. There are a few other tools that are in the market. However, from an implementation point of view, it's very robust. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten overall.
Tableau is a product that I recommend. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I would recommend anyone looking at this solution to check the validity of the business case. If you don't have a very expensive business case and you're going to be on the data processing side, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the product. But if you have standard templates and can just put in the data, export the defaults and send it, then it's a good solution because there's no complexity. I would rate this solution a seven out of 10.

Be careful with tableau support. Stay in touch with the professional partners because Tableau itself does not have the right number of developers or people for support.
The solution is very good. Loved it and the employees also love how quickly they can create a workbook and share it. Overall, a great solution and a great team.
Tableau provides a UI which can be used to build a clear graphical visualization that allows quick and easy data comprehension. This functionality really helps turn data into scalable insights. This makes things a lot easier for people who don't have coding experience and with dedicated people focused on managing the visualizations, not requiring them all to be developers or to have any coding experience is a real plus. If I was to give this solution a rating from one-to-ten, ten is the best, I'd rate it a 9 because it does all that we require of it and more. I would recommend this solution to my colleagues from another company. It's a nice tool to work with.
First, clients should be comfortable with the existing resources or existing platform which the organization is using - that is one of the very important aspects before you decide on any new tool or any kind of new technology. Second, you want to go ahead and invite a new application into your current system. Ask how compatible the application is before you decide on any new product in your organization. Third, you should consider if your employees are comfortable with the new incoming technology in terms of whether it’s easy to learn or adapt. Ask how comfortable your employees are before you bring any new tool into your organization These are the key important points. I will rate Tableau at eight out of ten because there will be some shortcomings in the application that are not up to the mark.
This software must be managed on mobile devices in several languages.
When reviewing a possible solution, we always consider: * Price * Functionality
Most important criteria when selecting a product: * Price and licensing * Future landscape * Support.
I am very satisfied with it. I would recommend it. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * Customer care quality * The learning instruments provided via webinars and YouTube videos to improve my skills as fast as possible.
I have only trialed it. I could not get this product signed off due to budget constraints, not related to Tableau (which is far from the most expensive out there). Recommendations to others considering the product: Trial it and play around with it. You will be amazed at how quickly you pick it up.
Do not hesitate to implement Tableau. You will not regret it if you are looking for a visualization and discovery tool. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * Customers' experiences * Transparency * The financial stability of the company.
