Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

We use Tableau server across the entire organization. All departments are using worksheets and data sources to answer day-to-day business decisions. It is our go-to business intelligence platform and is heavily used.

Pros

  • Controls over who can see what report
  • One place for everything
  • Custom controls over various datasources

Cons

  • Better mobile
  • Updates are hard, but we try to wait until data source first couple after release, always end up getting connection issues back to our servers
  • A user activity dashboard - more than what data sources
  • Positive ROI. Always need more training
  • We utilize a service provider (ICIMO) - they are the best and double/triple the value that we get out of Tableau
Suited
Any type of BI, metrics, easy to use, fast, robust.

Not Suited
This may start to cross over into general Tableau use itself, but we are always fighting using the right tool for the right job, we have tried to use tableau to adjust data much the way Alteryx or Tableau prep can be used.
