Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Prep
We did a pilot to use prep to sync data between our reservoir engineering software/database for forecasts -PHDWIN and actuals in SAP. The prep tool was used to sync the datasets and prepare them for visualization. This was used instead of using Tableau straight to sync the datasets. The outcome of the pilot was that the tool was more robust, but we chose not to do it in order to add more software/tools to the data chain.
- Sync data
- Match
- Repeatable results
- A stand alone product vs integrated
- More training of a specialized tool
- We found that the ROI did not over come our costs
Tabluea prep was much better than Spotfire for syncing data.
