I use Tableau mostly for reporting and dashboarding purposes. I utilize Power Platform when I require numerous business rules and need a quick prototype. For enterprise reporting, I use TIBCO Spotfire. Although I do not use Tableau directly, my customers' companies do.

Efficient content management improves access control and streamlines reporting
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most beneficial feature of Tableau for me is its user interface, which offers a quick and easy drag-and-drop facility. Another advantage is the site administration, allowing for efficient content management and security without requiring server admin intervention. This ease of maintaining content and managing access control at the site level distinguishes Tableau from Spotfire, where admin duties are restricted and can cause delays.
What needs improvement?
I find that customizations in Tableau are not intuitive, and it should be easier to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The usual technical support is not up to the mark unless it is elite support. Pricing is also a concern for me as it is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft Power Platform.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been familiar with Tableau for close to ten years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Tableau's data blending capabilities are an added feature, but I do not frequently use them because data is often properly structured in databases and data warehouses before reporting.
How are customer service and support?
I find Tableau's technical support to be good with elite support, but it struggles with usual, general support. Two years ago, I rated the usual support six or seven out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think Tableau is expensive compared to TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise licensing and Microsoft's Azure and Power Platform.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I work with TIBCO Spotfire, Power BI, and a little bit of Tableau in addition to Microsoft Azure products.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, Tableau is a very good tool. I would rate it eight out of ten. For business visualization, I would still recommend Tableau to others.
