What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I can't comment on the valuable features of Tableau. I am familiar with some of the other tools, but I can't point out one specific big feature of Tableau.
What needs improvement?
A specific thing in Tableau is that I have looked at how to add pictures to the reports. I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tableau for over five years. I don't remember the version of the solution I am using, but I feel it is the upgraded version. Maybe the server is not the latest one, which might be behind by a year. I am a customer of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Tableau does break down a little bit. The server version of Tableau doesn't allow you to see what is going on, making it a part of Tableau that is not great. Tableau's server version doesn't provide the ability to extract the information to see why the reports or dashboard didn't run properly. When you refresh in Tableau, you can't see what it's doing, and nothing happens since it doesn't show you what's going on, and then Tableau gets fixed all of a sudden.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
One of my biggest problems is getting all the users to use Tableau, but that's not a specific problem of the tool alone since it is one of the most common problems among BI tools.
I only have ten Tableau licenses that are used in my company.
How are customer service and support?
I have only sought some local support within Israel for Tableau. The only way to solve the problems in Tableau is through checking on forums.
How was the initial setup?
Tableau is deployed on-premises.
Tableau's initial setup was straightforward. When you need to make complicated dashboards, that can be very difficult in Tableau, but the initial setup was very quick. Connecting the data sources was very easy in Tableau.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing for Tableau is the same as the other products in the market. I haven't checked Tableau's price recently, but I don't think it is a factor when choosing the tool.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Tableau, I had checked QlikView, which is now Qlik Sense, and I preferred the way Tableau works over Qlik Sense. Tableau made me feel independent and not dependent on programmers, making it more user-friendly.
What other advice do I have?
I would look at Microsoft Power BI. I am unsure if I would push Tableau since it is not a widely used tool. I don't know if others in the field of jewelry use Tableau.
Overall, I rate the solution between a seven and eight out of ten.

Salesforce CRM Analytics as Tools in Promoting Data Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
Using the analytics tools in Salesforce CRM, I can present the reports using visual representation. And because these analytics tools, which are reports and dashboards, are part of the CRM, I can create outputs easily because the data I need is within the CRM.
What do you dislike about the product?
The number of charts that can be used and the themes that can be selected to display the charts are limited. And unlike other analytics tools, it is not as interactive regarding the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With these analytics tools in Salesforce CRM, I can create reports and dashboards easily because the data is within the platform. It also has the refresh functionality, which allows viewers to update the dashboard themselves, so I don't have to create dashboards everytime there is an update on the data.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some stages are pending which are in process status.
