Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

We use Tableau Server in a variety of ways. Currently in my Business Unit at OpinionLab we use an instance of Tableau Server for internal reporting needs for our Professional services team. We publish workbooks connected to live data sources, schedule a refresh, then using another application we send pushed reporting to a distribution list. At Verint Mainstream we use Tableau Server for our registered digital survey customers to set up reporting to interact and share within their organization.
  • The ability to share metrics across an organization with one source of truth (published data source)
  • Allows users the ability to author their own visualizations without having to purchase a Desktop license
  • Subscription and Data-Driven alerting to alert users to changes in their data
  • Add in the ability to search for fields while using web authorizing on Tableau Server. It's tedious to find the fields you want to add to a visualization when you have 100 fields and multiple joins to search through
  • Allow web authors the ability to reorder the worksheets after creation
  • Include ability to set up parameters while web authoring
  • It has had a positive impact in aligning our team to using a single source of truth with report creation.
  • A negative impact was that it has been perceived as being not secure.
Tableau Server is well suited for users who want the ability to interact with their data, find out the why, behind some of the changes they are seeing. Also great for sharing information across an organization; however this shares a static image.
