Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
Tableau Desktop is used as a tool to display KPI dashboards. It addresses the business problem of getting timely visibility on business performance in supply chain. Tableau is used by the sales department and some sections of the marketing department but not across the whole organisation.
- Data mapping: create quick data exploration by joining text file data with xls file
- Gantt Chart: better Gantt Chart capability than Microsoft Power BI
- Mapping: excellent mapping capability down to suburbs and post codes in Australia
- Box plot: quick box plot creating
- Colour scheme: currently only have limited control over default colour scheme
- Scheduling dashboard creation and distribution via email currently not available.
- Table format visualisation: difficult to control as Tableau tends to concatenate fields once it has more than many characteristics fields shown as one.
Tableau has more superior functionalities and controls in displaying many different charts.
