Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

Tableau Server is currently used internally by our organization and externally to select clients. It allows us to answer high-level business KPIs related to client data we manage. It has helped reduce many manual efforts to collect data by allowing us to centralize and make it accessible on a recurring/automated schedule.

Pros

  • Connects to disparate data easily
  • Reduces the need for IT personnel to extract custom datasets
  • Compresses and visualizes large amounts of data for quick display
  • Helps keep dashboards organized
  • Allows for flexibility by making published dashboards accessible anywhere

Cons

  • Cost
  • Limited functionality of executing stored procedures and analytical cubes]
  • Would like to see a stronger partnership with AWS and Azure
  • Has helped the organization reduce manual reporting
  • Has provided a method to visualize a data that did not exist prior
  • Has helped reduce overall turnaround time and has provided our clients with information quickly
Tableau is extremely self intuitive to use and has a large supporting community
Well suited for advanced analytics and managing disparate data sets into a central location. Cost constraints have held us back in bundling with our own external platform due to the need to license every connection.
