Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Online
The analytics department in my company uses Tableau for its daily/monthly/Annual reports. It is a terrific data visualization tool that helps our users visualize data as and when required, without many complications. Trend analysis and forecasting is a key to using this software, and this is where it comes in very handy. All the data metrics are accurately tracked. It provides powerful data insights. All the heads of different teams use Tableau daily. It is particularly useful when there is data integration with other software required. It also offers a layer of visualization that is superior to traditional Microsoft products.
- Tableau offers a layer of visualization that is superior to traditional Microsoft products.
- It provides out of the box data visualization tools, and the opportunity to customize these views for business use.
- Extensive data source support/seamless data import.
- Easy implementation of enterprise-level security and access with integration with AD Groups.
- Tableau Online could improve its mobile interface, which requires training, and lags when trying to import large files.
- Tableau could have a feature such that workbooks that are connected to live data sources could refresh automatically instead of having to publish from the desktop every time you want updated figures.
- Limitations can be frustrating if you are used to using the Desktop version.
Tableau has a capacity to connect to a number of data providers, and it is very easy to get connected to data sources and use all the objects that create dashboards. Customized visualizations are very easy to create. Tableau, generally speaking, has calculations and other types of data manipulations available, which can scale with your own business questions' complexity.
