Treasure Data
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data won out because they have the ability to load in data from multiple places such as Redshift and Salesforce, then export into a BI tool (which could have a better UI such as Treasure Data). Pricing was also in a reasonable range that worked for the company. We …
Chose Treasure Data
We felt that Treasure Data was far beyond the reaches of Looker and Stitch. The full integrations, easy to work with staff, and the overall culture of helping customers was our draw to Treasure Data. This has helped us to get up-to-speed, with a very minimal staff, providing …
Chose Treasure Data
More flexible in terms of capability, better DEVOPS (though still not ideal), large and better out of the box features/connectors, better UI, cost, integrated audience studio and active data layer (real time access data)
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data is easier to implement
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data was also chosen before I arrived at the organization. Also, I'm not person who's in charge or writing the queries which means that I let someone know what I need to use the software for and they let me know if Treasure Data is best suited. However, that being …
Chose Treasure Data
We used to use a company called Textur, but they went out of business. We feel like we have more control using Treasure and although it is more expensive, it has allowed us to better scale and given us more options both in terms of which sources we can connect to and also which …
Chose Treasure Data
Best balance of price, data collection, query engine, workflow engine and especially data output to targets other than data warehouses.

Sisense is a great BI tool, and is not truly a replacement for a tool like Treasure Data, but if you want to do ETL in your BI tool and your …
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data is more cost effective than Leanplum, has more functionality then Mode or App Annie, although not as user-friendly or provides as many tools for analysis. As a data ingestion tool, Treasure Data we believe gave us the best bang for our buck. Our development …
Chose Treasure Data
This is where everything gets lost in translation. There is not a competitor that offers an end to end data services solution capable of managing etl , end-user adhoc usage, data delivery, warehousing, app sdk, WORKFLOW with digdag and so much more. Let’s not forget that all …
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data is better in terms of performance, the SDK is more flexible and Treasure Data is not limited to a static format like Swrve. The competitors provide more out-of-the-box solutions but the quality we can aim for with Treasure Data is better in any case.
Chose Treasure Data
- MySQL is used as a primary data analysis tool.. there are cases when MySQL queries are faster
Chose Treasure Data
Very happy with Treasure Data, easy to build end-to-end pipeline without a whole engineering team. Better support and customer experience.

Tableau
The best scenario is definitely to collect data from several sources and create dedicated dashboards for specific recipients. However, I miss the possibility of explaining these reports in more detail. Sometimes, we order a report, and after half a year, we don't remember the meaning of some data (I know it's our fault as an organization, but the tool could force better practices).

Treasure Data is well suited to integrating multiple data sources, including online and digital sources. It is also well suited to trigger audience activations to known customers based on their online activity, integrating 3rd party data, and activating target audiences to ad platforms.

Pros
Tableau
  • An excellent tool for data visualization, it presents information in an appealing visual format—an exceptional platform for storing and analyzing data in any size organization.
  • Through interactive parameters, it enables real-time interaction with the user and is easy to learn and get support from the community.

Treasure Data
  • CDP provides a unified view of data from all touchpoints in the customer journey until a single customer uses the service. This feature is very helpful in making service decisions and direction.
  • It provides a variety of extensions to bring your data together in one place and helps you do this easily.
  • Kits provided by Treasure Box provide basic but helpful methods for further development of services.

Cons
Tableau
  • Pricing should be more user-friendly and usage-driven
  • Making edits to the production reports is fairly tough and has a vast scope of additional capabilities
  • Tableau Desktop should be able to differentiate itself from the Tableau server else there is no major meaning of two different products being offered

Treasure Data
  • Documentation is not always fully update --> better off reaching to support for some topics that are not covered
  • Small bugs on the graphical user interface
  • If 2 people are editing on the same project simultaneously, the latter that saves the workflow overwrites the changes of the former one

Our use of Tableau Desktop is still fairly low, and will continue over time. The only real concern is around cost of the licenses, and I have mentioned this to Tableau and fully expect the development of more sensible models for our industry. This will remove any impediment to expansion of our use.

I do think that we definitely will be renewing. We are putting major resources, time, and effort into Treasure Data becoming an extension of our organization, in many ways. We are working toward complete synergies with this product and leadership is very excited about the direction we are heading to be completely customer-centric.

Usability
Tableau
Tableau Desktop has proven to be a lifesaver in many situations. Once we've completed the initial setup, it's simple to use. It has all of the features we need to quickly and efficiently synthesize our data. Tableau Desktop has advanced capabilities to improve our company's data structure and enable self-service for our employees.

Treasure Data
It's a easy platform to use and give the user detailed logs about what is going on in the workflows, so someone that do not have a lot of experience can start to work with it. And also the master segment usability is awesome, as we can filter a lot of data the way we want.

Reliability and Availability
Tableau
When used as a stand-alone tool, Tableau Desktop has unlimited uptime, which is always nice. When used in conjunction with Tableau Server, this tool has as much uptime as your server admins are willing to give it. All in all, I've never had an issue with Tableau's availability.

As treasure data has a 24 hours support, every time we has big issues that impacts the zones, we do have immediatly support from the treasure data team, so I would say that we do not have any issues with availability

Performance
Tableau
Tableau Desktop's performance is solid. You can really dig into a large dataset in the form of a spreadsheet, and it exhibits similarly good performance when accessing a moderately sized Oracle database. I noticed that with Tableau Desktop 9.3, the performance using a spreadsheet started to slow around 75K rows by about 60 columns. This was easily remedied by creating an extract and pushing it to Tableau Server, where performance went to lightning fast

Since treasure data has started having a huge amount of data, sometimes we do have problems with the workflows logs because we generate a lot of then. But with integrations I have not to complain, its really easy to integrate with other platforms.

Support Rating
Tableau
Tableau support has been extremely responsive and willing to help with all of our requests. They have assisted with creating advanced analysis and many different types of custom icons, data formatting, formulas, and actions embedded into graphs. Tableau offers a weekly presentation of features and assists with internal company projects.

The technical team has a good hold on the nuances of the data related to our organization. I have found the online technical support on their site quite responsive including the L1 support. In cases where the L1 team isn't able to resolve, I have found they are prompt in getting the product team's input to get a quick resolution.

I think the training was good overall, but it was maybe stating the obvious things that a tech savvy young engineer would be able to pick up themselves too. However, the example work books were good and Tableau web community has helped me with many problems

Implementation Rating
Tableau
Again, training is the key and the company provides a lot of example videos that will help users discover use cases that will greatly assist their creation of original visualizations. As with any new software tool, productivity will decline for a period. In the case of Tableau, the decline period is short and the later gains are well worth it.

I have used Power BI as well, the pricing is better, and also training costs or certifications are not that high. Since there is python integration in Power BI where I can use data cleaning and visualizing libraries and also some machine learning models. I can import my python scripts and create a visualization on processed data.

We chose Treasure Data for the supreme customer service and lack of hidden costs. We don't need to manage any infrastructure or scale anything to meet customer demand. Treasure Data handles everything and makes it easy for us to integrate and focus on the tasks at hand. There may be cheaper options but we do not regret our decision to go with Treasure Data one bit.

Scalability
Tableau
Tableau Desktop's scaleability is really limited to the scale of your back-end data systems. If you want to pull down an extract and work quickly in-memory, in my application it scaled to a few tens of millions of rows using the in-memory engine. But it's really only limited by your back-end data store if you have or are willing to invest in an optimized SQL store or purpose-built query engine like Veritca or Netezza or something similar.

Return on Investment
Tableau
  • Tableau was acquired years ago, and has provided good value with the content created.
  • Ongoing maintenance costs for the platform, both to maintain desktop and server licensing has made the continuing value questionable when compared to other offerings in the marketplace.
  • Users have largely been satisfied with the content, but not with the overall performance. This is due to a combination of factors including the performance of the Tableau engines as well as development deficiencies.
Read full review
Treasure Data
  • We have built and supported our source of truth data tables using Treasure. This forms the foundation of our decision making.
  • Most of our Tableau data sources are created using a Treasure Data export which is executed by workflows on a daily basis which allows us to have visibility into day to day performance and communicate them to a wide variety of roles.
  • We load custom data into our Salesforce instance which allows us to trigger certain workflows and build accountability - i.e. a "Sale" will only count once a certain product driven event occurs which comes from data we pipe into Treasure and then into Salesforce.
