Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

Tableau is being used across the whole organization as a reporting and business intelligence platform.

Pros

  • Quick development time.
  • Easy to administer.
  • Lots of options for authentication.

Cons

  • It's slow to start/stop the server components, which results in more downtime during upgrades.
  • Hard to kill a data refresh manually.
  • The goal is to deliver data to the business to improve decision making, and Tableau does just that.
  • Cost to deploy and implement is minimal. You can install and configure in an hour or two.
  • Cost to administer is low. Really doesn't require attention other than the once-per-month upgrades.
Great for publishing dashboards within the company.
