Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"There are already connectors to almost every single major database and service that you can possibly think of."
"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."
"Easy for beginners to use"
"I believe one of the most valuable features of the solution is trend analysis."
"The UI part is the best. The end-users can easily get started with Tableau Desktop or Tableau Online because of its user-friendliness."
"One of the most valuable features is that the solution allows users to build interactive dashboards. This allows the end user to modify the criteria or the filtering if need be. As far as for my personal use as a QA Engineer, I really value how extensive their API document support has been."
"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"Tableau is a fantastic tool that provides impressive dashboards and customized reports."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"The price of Tableau is too high."
"I would like to be able to set the parameters in a more specific manner."
"The customization in the front end is a bit difficult."
"When I've done presentations in the past, I've had issues with uploading the cartography."
"Formatting controls could use some improvement."
"It would be nice to include more features on each dashboard."
"I have noticed that Tableau is not very compatible with ClickHouse. There's no direct connection to ClickHouse; you have to set up an ODBC connection."
"The pricing is high. I'm using a student license, however, I know that even this license is very expensive. I've tried to have this product in our organization, however, it's quite expensive. We don't have the internal budget."
