Tableau's ability to handle integration and the stability of the tool itself are the most valuable features. It can process a huge amount of data. Multiple sources can be connected to Tableau, and meaningful insights can be derived. Tableau serves as a stable dashboarding tool for higher management, aiding in quick decision-making.
What needs improvement?
The look and feel of the tool itself, including the dashboard features and data visualization, could be improved. The graphs in Tableau also have room for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have around three to four years of experience using Tableau.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of Tableau as nine out of ten.

I am not directly involved in the pricing of Tableau, so I am not sure about the pricing, setup cost, or licensing.

The competitors of Tableau are MicroStrategy and Power BI.
What other advice do I have?

Gain clarity in financial presentations and face challenges with data preparation
What is our primary use case?
We mainly use Tableau for financial presentations.
What is most valuable?
Tableau is extremely good at dashboard creation, providing clear and concise visual presentations. The most beneficial feature is its ability to present data cleanly and effectively. However, setting it up and using it with large datasets can be challenging. Tableau excels in visualization, making presentations efficient.
What needs improvement?
I find data prepping in Tableau challenging to understand, perhaps because I am new to it. It sometimes requires extensive investigation to determine why the data does not appear correctly. Currently, I rely on community support to answer my queries, and it is still early for me to provide further comments on improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tableau for less than a year.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
There were challenges in getting accustomed to the functionality of Tableau, especially since I am used to Microsoft products. Certain criteria needed a lot of experimentation, particularly in data prepping. Sometimes the data doesn't appear as expected, leading to extensive investigative work.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not faced any issues with the stability of Tableau.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am still working towards understanding the scalability of Tableau. Currently, I have not encountered any limitations, but I am still exploring and replacing current tools. It is too early to comment on scalability issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Microsoft Power BI. Power BI seems more powerful for data massaging and processing compared to Tableau. However, Tableau is superior in terms of visualization.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was a bit challenging, particularly because I was used to Microsoft products. It took some time to get certain criteria right, but it has become easier over time.
What about the implementation team?
The setup was conducted through my IT team, who provided me with the license.
What was our ROI?
We have not derived any significant benefits yet as we are still in the exploration stage, except for one time-saving achievement.
What other advice do I have?
If you have many presentations, I recommend Tableau. However, if your focus is on heavy data processing or data prepping, Tableau may not be the best choice. I would rate Tableau a 7 out of 10.
