Likelihood to Recommend 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 is a permanent and scalable solution to manage all of your data under a unified environment. Easy to use, great performance, used it for our internal data warehouse.

Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review At this moment the usability of Talend Data Quality is optimal, too bad I cannot say the same in the first three months, it was always a problem due to its steep learning curve, but what matters is being able to use it effectively at this precise moment.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Talend Data Quality gave us direct help in the learning process and prevented us from taking many more months to adapt and I appreciate this from the heart, I think that thanks to the support we can have very detailed reports that help increase the use of Talend Data Quality in the company.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review The engine with which it works to process a lot of information is striking, the comparison also being the connectors it has for different RDBMS, which other tools do not count as they are GNU licenses or community editions. The friendly and intuitive environment is what catches the eye. that's why I choose Talend over any other tool
Read full review Return on Investment 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) Read full review Definitely simplified the development efforts on our end in doing the data integration, saving lots of human hours. Small company, so cost could be a problem for these services, but works so far. Read full review ScreenShots
