Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
Tableau is being used across my organization as a primary tool for product management or sales metrics tracking for different business units. Reports are generated quickly and it links fairly nice with SalesForce.
- Aesthetic value of reports generated is a plus.
- Intuitive system, not overly complex but not too simplistic either.
- Reliable platform, haven't had many notable issues of crashes, security penetration, or misinformation.
- Tutorials don't always help 100% - typically you have to go through their support team for special integrations. Once set up however, things run efficiently.
- You need to have reliably fast internet, otherwise it can get overloaded and you can possibly lose data.
We still use Microsoft Excel for much of the lighter, day-to-day pivot tables or calculations. We see Tableau as the future however and are slowly tying more and more of our standard work with Tableau. Smartsheet isn't a 1:1 example, but it was considered for importing information but we found imports were fragmented and the program wasn't meant to be used as we intended.
