Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
At Vinyl we use Tableau to develop dashboards for insight into our business. It houses most of our day to day reporting and we are now developing our KPI system on it.
- Access to our data sources such as MS SQL and MySQL
- Ease of use and administration
- Relatively small footprint for hardware
- Reasonable pricing
- Better exposure of the engine components for diagnostics and reporting
- Having to uninstall the product and reinstall to upgrade is odd and cumbersome
- Bring the command line options into a modern web admin interface with better information like backup processes and history
- Admin reporting on use of data sources and ability to search out dependencies in the database
- We recently reduced our licensing due to scaling down the company and Tableau had a reasonable process to accommodate us.
- The most recent version we use (10.4) has been much more reliable - looking forward to the 2018 version that we will implement next month.
- Many times changes in version cause our analysts headaches by changing small things we don't always catch at first and we don't have the means to run a test environment for all of them.
