Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
Tableau is an excellent visualization tool we use here. I believe for the fourth year, Tableau is a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms Report by Gartner. We use Tableau in several departments for reporting. The charts, maps and web-interface of Tableau are very user friendly.
- Charts
- In-built maps
- Extract based reporting
- Server maintenance
- User maintenance should be much easier ( For ex: Maintaining common users b/w Tableau Sites)
- Fail Over Setup
- Patch Releases are TOOOO Often.
- QlikView and IBM Cognos
QlikView can't connect to live data (in general)
Licensing Costs of QlikView and Cognos are expensive.
Cognos doesn't have excellent Graphics embedded within the tool
Tableau is a user friendly tool
Tableau has a single platform for development.
Tableau can connect to various database types with ease and less effort.
Embedding maps in Tableau workbooks is an easy process
