Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

Tableau Server is used within my organization to present users with an easily understandable visualization of our very large data sets. These data sets include web log information, customer information, and transaction information. By using Tableau, we are able to present this data in a number of formats including tabular format as well as various charts and graphs. Because the charts and graphs are interactive, the user experience has been received very well.
  • Tableau's visual presentation of data is unsurpassed
  • Tableau Server is easily integrated into various database and technologies such as Business Objects
  • Because the Tableau user community is so large, we are able to obtain answers to the majority of our questions through news feeds and online user groups and communities.
  • On the lowest level, many of Tableau's features and strengths are too complicated for the typical end-user
  • IT expertise is required to fully implement Tableau Server
  • Tableau Server is very weak in source-code versioning.
We find Tableau Server much more flexible and powerful for the developer. The resulting dashboard and interactive charts far surpass those of Business Objects. IBM Cognos is much too restrictive in its ability to present data visualizations in a way that is easily integrated into both web platforms and mobile applications.
- Tableau Server is particularly strong in the creation and presentation of dashboards
- I would not recommend Tableau out-of-the-box for use by an end-user
