Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
Currently Tableau Server is used to rapidly develop and distribute ad-hoc reporting to limited to senior level stakeholders, as such it's currently mainly used by finance department users.
It addresses the problem of slow development process of traditional SSRS based reports and lack of flexibility and self-discovery.
- One version of the truth, instead of passing around Excel workbooks which are prone to errors and lack of updates. A universal 'version' is used and is automatically updated based on new information fed by the data warehouse.
- Ease of integration with active directory allowing user level access restrictions based on existing infrastructure, as well as flexibility to easily override user level restrictions if needed.
- Intuitive interface, gold standard amongst a myriad of other products.
- Pricing can be a bit daunting compared to a desktop license, it should be cheaper.
Tableau by far has the most intuitive interface and best out of the box looks for presentation. The speed of development and ease of development is unbeatable.
