Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
Tableau Server is used for the data visualisation in my [current] project. I used to work on data visualisation projects, and so I came across Tableau Server and found it very simple and easy to use, and very user friendly. I was impressed by the tool. It took me less time to get acquainted to the tool and I could do my work without any hurdles. There were chunks of data that I had to represent and work on, on a daily basis. I used Tableau to generate reports and user-readable charts and graphs. It was so easy to visualize BIG data in no time!
Pros
- I liked that it is self manageable, so I can access Tableau outside and inside of the VPN of the organization.
- The workbooks it generates can be shared online via its cloud online feature. It made it easy to share amongst the team.
- It is easy to access after sharing a workbook, and works in a fashion similar to a web browser.
- Data storage is easier and manageable.
Cons
- Security is the main concern for me when it comes to sharing it online in the cloud.
- More detailed documentation is a need. API documentation is missing.
- There is an integration issue when it comes to social integration among the different zones of users.
Sisense was another tool I came across, but I chose Tableau over Sisense as an end-to-end tool for data visualisation and BI. Tableau is the complete data visualisation tool, which is what I was looking for. So, I chose Tableau. Plus, it's easy to use and there are no complex situations while using it. I could not use Sisense that easily.
