Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
Tableau is used across the organization to solve business problems. In our business unit, we use it to view data quality and staffing requirements for projects. In addition, we use it to perform data exploration on data to see what needs to be addressed. Other groups use it for all kinds of reporting needs.
Pros
- Multiple data connections and blending
- Ability to see recommendations for graphs
- Ability to use API to create custom applications
Cons
- Extension gallery needs more options
- I think having the ability to use libraries like D3 into graphs
- Hyper being able to handle multiple joins better
Tableau is a lot easier to visualize data and the dashboards are more robust. We didn’t use WebFOCUS to its greatest extent but getting up to speed on Tableau was easy. Training is also better in Tableau and the user community is very knowledgeable. We selected it as our organization was using it, so moving to it was easy.
