Really good performance and has a growing community
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best thing about Tableau is that you don't need a database connection and can generate a dashboard from a spreadsheet. It's very open. It moved the responsibility to the end user rather than in a closed control loop. There are a lot of widgets. Tableau looks for the data and suggests cool widgets. The community is growing, and there is always someone who has tried something before.
If you go to Tableau Cloud, you will see tons of visualizations and things that have already been done. You don't need to struggle a lot. If you post a question, someone will always answer you. The product is also getting better. Tableau's performance is really good, and it is adding new features.
What needs improvement?
When Salesforce bought the solution, they claimed that Einstein would be part of Tableau, but that indication is not working. Tableau's integration with Einstein Analytics could be better. It's not even up to par with other products. The ad hoc, self-service, and data analysis features are not working.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tableau for 11 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Tableau's scalability is much better than the other previous clunky tools like MicroStrategy and Cognos. Around 300 to 350 users use the solution in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup is straightforward, and its details are available on the internet. The solution's cloud service can be deployed within a day. However, the on-prem deployment depends on many other factors and might take a couple of days.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment with Tableau.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Tableau is an expensive solution.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. If Tableau is on-premises, you have to monitor the server, recycle it, and restart it. However, if it is in the cloud, the admin role is completely reduced. We don't have a Tableau admin. The solution solves my problem, it is working as expected, and I have no complaints from my end.
There will always be complexities. We have to create a good data model so Tableau can use it. It's up to the team to make it complex or easy. Very good.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
