Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server
We use Tableau to aggregate data from a lot of different systems. It brings it all together to a single place where users can build and access reports and dashboards to gain insight into different areas of the business. The insight gained through Tableau across systems is essential to our business functions and would take much more time and effort to do manually.
- Allows for aggregation across multiple systems
- Allows reports and dashboards to be self serve for end users
- Allows for ad-hoc reporting
- Initial setup of data sources can be time consuming.
- Some native connectors didn’t work as well for us like Salesforce. We had to build our own ETL process.
- Setting up permissions originally was burdensome.
- Has allowed for fast iteration of reports and dashboards to find what managers are really looking for.
- Self serve nature has made it so we don’t need dedicated report writing resources.
- There was a heavy time investment upfront setting the system and data sources up.
