Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
I used Tableau to extract data from a Google Analytics API to help create dashboards for an ad-hoc analysis to showcase any pinpoints in traffic, average page duration, and segmentation of the data. Tableau worked with the analytics canvas tool to be able to tap into other API software. It is being used by my team, but other organization team members are still trying to get it. It helps to roll-up the data from Excel to something robust.
- Visualizations - everything from a heat map to pie chart and in between
- Mass data - file size importing is important to work with, and big data sets have it all
- Databases - SQL backend to make an application more robust
- Cost - expensive
- Too many features - more support
- Space - really a lot of space on the computer
- Excel
Excel took forever to load the data and crashed, and Tableau wins.
