"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."

"It's easy to use."
"The best thing I like about Tableau is that you don't have to go for creating; it is calculated free."

"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."

"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"The cost of owning the solutions from Tableau is much higher compared to any other analytical solutions."
"The solution does have scalability issues."
