We performed a comparison between Birst and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."
"Self-service is most valuable. Users can pick up quickly and do the resolution. There are a lot of out-of-the-box features, and it satisfies most of the needs. If users are properly trained, they can deal with any situation."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"Provides a very good sound analysis quotient."
"It gives us a new dimension to the way that we analyse our data."
"Visualization attributes: Marks – Color, Size, Label, etc.. Easily Accessible and Intuitive."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"We found Tableau has the quickest learning time out of the few other BI reporting tools that we have used."
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."
"The setup was easy but we are having some problems with the configuration that is taking a long time. We have done some initial tests and some of the delays could be from bandwidth issues. However, the whole installation process should be simplified."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"From the developer perspective, the data connection handling the target data set is what most needs to be improved."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"I think Tableau could be improved with cheaper or more flexible licensing, though this is a generic improvement and applies for any product. It would be better if they had more flexible payment and licensing plans so that they could suit small- and mid-sized organizations."
"The charts need to be improved. The drawings and the visualization need to be more accurate."
"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."
"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."
