Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

Tableau server is used by my team, vRealization Operations Management. It is used to analyze the metric data collected from different entities of a data center. Tableau made our life easy in showing the respective entity data in the UI. Tableau is being accepted by my team and department. Sooner it will be accepted across the departments.
  • Displaying highly customizable graphs
  • Aggregating unstructured data and establishing a relationship among them
  • Realtime analytics of data and updates on the fly
  • Adding social integration with Tableau
  • More good API descriptions
  • Platform independent and backward compatible
Tableau is better than Splunk in analyzing the unstructured data and displaying all relevant information to the user. I have used Splunk but it does not provide the information of every component of a system, it just drills down to log analytics. Tableau is beyond Splunk, as it manages any kind of data.
It is suited in scenarios where the user wants to know the status of anything without much interaction. Tableau provides a single window for all of the components of the system, and abstracts the complexity of management. Data demands Tableau and its visualization of data across the systems.
