    SAP Agile Data Preparation is well suited for an organization with loads of data where data can be transformed, analyzed and shared on a single click. Thus, the software is well suited for organization which have intense data working. Further, the software is not suited for small/medium organization as there data would be comparatively less and they may not be able to afford the software.

    If your data sets are coming in without much stewardship then Tableau Prep can help to clean the data before you start trying to create visualizations for your end users. You will save a lot of time this way - rather than seeing problems once you are creating dashboards. If you don't have large data sets or your data is relatively simple, then Tableau Prep may not be needed.

    It works well and is user friendly for the basics but needs more options for bring in data (using SQL queries for example) and export format options.

    I have not really had to reach out for any kind of customer support for Tableau Prep, so I can't really say. However, the support that Tableau has given for their other products has been great, so I would assume it would be the same here. They are also constantly adding new features and providing software updates, and that is always a plus.

    Our organization chose SAP Agile Data Preparation because of its brand name and the pricing. The software was feasible for the organization as it provides loads of feature as compared to other software's at a reasonable price. Additionally, SAP Agile Data Preparation is powered by SAP HANA so that is a prerequisite to data preparation freedom. Also, at the implementation stage the software was working really efficiently in terms of features, durability and performance.

    Before Prep, we had to do all the data joining and connecting in a Tableau Workbook. Not only did this cause workbooks connected with live data to run frustratingly slowly, a new connection and set-up had to be established every time a new workbook as created, even if you were working with the same data. The extracts produced by Prep allow several workbooks to be working from the same data set-up without any additional work, saving time and stress.
