Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tableau Server to deliver out of the box dashboard on our hosting software. It's used both in a production scenario and in our SaaS offering. We also use it to showcase custom dashboards for those who already have a site or server license. Our sales teams like it to turn medium sized deals into larger deals.

Pros and Cons

Heat mapping
Accessability to data sets directly

Could use with programming shell; able to do mild SOAP API programming
Could use with programming shell; able to do mild RESTAPI programming
A bit expensive for initial engagement without a trusted referral

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a bit too complex for average users to understand intuitively. We have a specific person at our company that is trained, and that limits the exposure of the Tableau platform to internal colleagues and stakeholders. Tableau really shows well, and when you get it right, it's the best around.
