Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Prep
We have been using Tableau Prep to prepare simple data sets for analysis in Tableau. We do not use it for more complex data but it definitely helps with smaller, simpler data sets. we have most of our Tableau Desktop users utilizing Tableau Prep when needed, but when we do more complex data cleaning and prep we use Alteryx.
- Easy to use
- Integrates perfectly with Tableau
- Can be sluggish when making a lot of changes
- Not as robust as other software on the market
- Included with Tableau Desktop licenses so, cost effective in that sense
- Easy to learn
We use both Tableau Prep and Alteryx and, although Tableau Prep integrates better with Tableau Desktop, I find that more often then not I open up Alteryx to do most of my data prep prior to bringing my data into analysis as it is just so much more robust. Not that this makes Tableau Prep bad, it just highlights the missing features. However, if I did not have Alteryx, Tableau Prep would still be able to handle most of the work I need it to do.
