User Testimonials
	SSIS Data Flow Components	Tableau Prep
Likelihood to Recommend	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau Display the raw data coming in from the data warehouse Point out situations that might be erroneous Show the distribution of raw data figures Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau Use of Macros within Workflow (and more types of automation) Join Editor also giving a SQL Update Query More types of visuals Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau It is a valuable tool for generating and cleaning files for multiple purposes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau Live connections to cloud services (Google Sheets for example) and cloud hosted databases (cloud hosted SIS for example) for scheduled flows are not supported Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau 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.

Return on Investment	Devart No answers on this topic	Tableau Quicker data sets for online reports More efficient data cleaning Ad Hoc reports Costly if using data management to schedule data pull and cleaning (priced per viewer accounts not creator accounts) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
