Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Online
It's being used across a department mostly as a way to produce dashboards and weekly and monthly reports from our reagent data both internally and for some of our customers. It provides a clean way to both visualize data and key metrics from our data sources so that they can be accessed by any key stakeholders on the project. Data integration was also fairly straightforward which was also a plus for our department.
- Data integration and importing is well supported
- Great data visualization and dashboarding capabilities
- Enterprise level security and can easily restrict/grant access across users and user groups
- Takes time to train new associates and for new associates to become proficient using Tableau
- UI can sometimes feel a little bit overcomplicated (e.g. editing dashboards)
- Tableau Online can be slow/experience data refresh lags
- Extremely helpful for creating and sharing dashboards with key product performance metrics that enabled decisions to be made quickly and productively
- Enabled weekly/monthly reports to key stakeholders to keep projects on track
- Easy to add or remove users as associates move between projects which enabled faster onboarding to data
Tableau Online provides better data visualizations (especially when comparing out of the box visualizations that are available) than MS Power BI and historically we have connected more of our data sources to Tableau vs. other platforms like Google Analytics.
