Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
We built some dashboard to check capabilities of Tableau in compared with other analytical products.
We used it
The various factors that will decide feasibility are:
We used it
- for POC purpose
- for sales purpose
- for RnD exploring product
- for developing extension out of it using Tableau API to create TDE files
The various factors that will decide feasibility are:
- Security
- User Management and authentication
- Faster development time
- Ease of use and maintenance
- Easier upgrade and scalability
- Performance
- User Interface is awesome
- End user can also use it easily as it is intuitive and friendly with drag drop features.
- Lot variety of graphics and charts
- Showing simple table data in rows and columns is bit tedious. In other software we have straight table, cross table, graphical table. But tableau haven't given much attention. Many people want this simple things to show in table format (data as is)
- UI Alignment, layout adjustment in worksheet, dashboard, stories is sometime pretty difficult.
- User gets confused amongst worksheet, dashboard, stories as one can change individually and hence lost in synchronization of it. I think they can reduce so many various terms and stick to only one or 2 area where user can develop reports/charts/visuals.
- For each chart I have to create a sheet. So in big dashboard where there are 10s of pages each containing 4-5 charts. Imagine the maintenance load and effort to manage it. One can easily lost in so many Tableau sheets.
- spotfire and QlikView
We use tableau to see the feasibility for a client requirement.
