Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance.
Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice.  The MDX IDE is fabulous. They respond quickly and responsibly to support requests.  New features in the reporting module…

Centralized dashboards have transformed workforce trend analysis and speed up decisions
Tableau Enterprise helps us to consolidate the data and visualize daily and weekly trends in a clear and centralized dashboard, offering powerful features such as interactive dashboards, real-time data refreshing, advanced visual analytics, role-based access control, secure data, and seamless interaction with multiple data sources and automated reports. This will help us to analyze trends and collaborate across teams and scale analytics across the organization. These features help my team specifically by centralizing all employees' data in one place. This helps us reduce manual tracking and gives us real-time visibility into work from home versus office trends. The interactive dashboards allow quick decision-making, and the automated refresh time saves us a lot, while role-based access ensures data is shared securely with the right stakeholders. Tableau Enterprise has had a strong positive impact on our organization by improving data visibility, speeding up decision-making, and managing reports efficiently. The team can now access and track trends more effectively, and collaboration has improved using interactive dashboards. Overall, it has enhanced effectiveness and fostered a data-driven culture across the organization. The specific outcomes showing this positive impact include speeding up decision-making, which is the biggest impact because it saves us more time. Reporting time actually reduces sequentially since the dashboards refresh automatically. Data security is stronger, and data accuracy has improved, thanks to a centralized data source. Decision-making is also much faster since leaders can view real-time impacts instead of waiting for manual entry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Economically priced, runs on all platforms, excellent cube building and query performance, and the development time to first report is very short even for an MDX novice."
"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."
"Data source integration – can integrate with almost every type of databases/data sources like text files (csv, txt), SQL, SSAS, Oracle, etc."
"The stability seems to be very reliable."
"Buy it, implement it and stick with it for a sure and quick ROI."
"Tableau’s flexibility is its best feature."
"You can publish dashboards with Tableau Desktop and share them throughout the organization."
"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."
"Rapid visualization of data Interactive views connecting multiple data sources Reduces need for IT cycles (hours vs. weeks to create report) Ability to analyze problems quickly Ability to share reports and analyses quickly"
 

Cons

"As with many products, the documentation is light in some areas."
"Performance is one big area of improvement I believe."
"The integration and usage of multiple data sources is sometimes not that straightforward."
"We moved to Tibco Spotfire because of performance issues in Tableau."
"As compared to other tools, Tableau lags behind in handling huge enterprise-level data in terms of robust security and the single integrated metadata concept."
"Tableau probably does not have advanced big data analysis features."
"When compared to Power BI, it is less user-friendly."
"Obviously, it is not very scalable with large data sets. Hence, it becomes slow and clunky when large data sets are introduced."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In Indian Rupees, Tableau costs about 30,000 to 40,000 per year."
"Pricing is not bad. It's competitive."
"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."
"The solution's licensing is based on user-basis. It depends on the business ROI it offers. It's not on the higher side or too cheap; it falls in the medium-cost range. The price is determined by user usage, so the cost will also increase as the number of users increases."
"It is a bit overpriced."
"The pricing of Tableau should be better to remain competitive in the market, especially when compared to alternatives."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Tableau is the price, it is expensive. The price should be reduced."
"The cost is high."
