Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

We use it to generate the visual report from our data warehouse analysis, and create the dashboard for tracking KPI at various departmental levels, like Mortgage underwriting, servicing, arrears, etc.

Pros

  • Connecting to multiple data sources seamlessly
  • Easy to create visualization report / portal
  • Fast generation of reports
  • Easy to learn

Cons

  • The dashboard is more desktop based, and needs more enhancement on web-based
  • Sometime changing the format is very challenging
  • Need more geographical / map-based templates
IBM Cognos Active report, Qlik
Very strong for end users desktop based data visualization, fast and simple to use. Less appropriate for enterprise wide reporting
