Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Automated reporting."
"It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday."
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"It's very stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"The most important feature in Tableau is visual analytics."
"Good data flow and management."
"It is definitely easy to use. It is intuitive, and more or less, everything can be done from the front end. As such, there is no concept of metadata. You can just take data from a database and start building your own stuff, such as OLAP data warehouse. You don't need extensive metadata modeling like Oracle BI."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"It's very easy to set everything up."
"I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"There is a lot of APIs available, which means that Tableau can be customized to a large extent."
"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."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"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."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"When I've done presentations in the past, I've had issues with uploading the cartography."
"Its documentation can be improved so that a user can get a good hands-on experience. Tableau is well documented, and on their website, there are a lot of tutorials that are available for free. I started my learning process through those tutorials, but there are certain loopholes in those tutorials, which only got filled through a couple of good YouTube channels that talk about Tableau. YouTube helped me a lot. So, the documentation could be better, I understand that it is evolving day by day, and with more usage, there would be more such documentation."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"If I have to develop any, for example, pie charts, I can develop them just fine. However, if I have to develop a donut chart, that I cannot do it in a simple way. There are tricks that I need to use if I have to design a donut chart. It should be more flexible and provide more visualization options."
"What is happening, with so many tools coming up in the market, is that people have to continuously get educated in order to use some of the more advanced features."
"I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."
"It will be good if the server, could be more stable, and I would like to have the technical service to be more reliable."
"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."
