Business analysts and decision makers from small businesses all the way to the world's most renowned companies.
Tableau empowers people throughout the organization to easily ask and answer questions of their data with intuitive, AI-powered tools to make better business decisions every day.
A good tool of SAP to create visual reports for management, can be able to take the data from Excel, SAP HANA or some other sources. Once you have a good setup of datasets, the result gets amazing.
There are so many commands and when an error arises in the system, it’s hard to know what the error is for and how to resolve.
Easy to load the data and clean up the data within the tool. Produces nice advanced visuals for reports that can be refreshed by any user.
However I do miss ver much the functionality of scheduling/broadcasting reports, resulting in that I have to to that manually, resulting in that in many cases I do not use Lumira for that reason.
SAP Lumira is a fantastic software that is easy to use as well.
Adds life to messy and confusing large set of numbers.
I found it very easy to work with and understand, and fairly priced. You can hook up some data sources and be up and running in very little time (as long as your source data is good of course!).
Some of the output formats are bit rigid. Limited functionality to manipulate data before reporting (ie the 'transform layer').
I enjoy using Tableau and recommend it over other data visualization tools due to the flexibility and the beautiful visualizations that can be made with it.
Large files takes a while to load and sometimes it will crash which is inconvenient. Since there is no auto-save function, you can lose your work if it crashes.
I have nothing but praise for the product. The support, stability, and quality of visualizations are all great.
However, support is terrible for this product and some of the versions are released with a few bugs. We will likely continue to this but it is imperfect.
Overall, Tableau is a fantastic program for getting automated reports created, published, and off your plate. The visuals are amazing and the subscriptions and alert system are my absolute favorite.
Statement: the old invoice needs to be paid. So although we have a written confirmation, that the invoice is cancelled, tableau didn't cancel and now we have no money and no license.
Good software with multiple interesting features and the ability to create attractive dashboards.
The Error messaging is ambiguous sometimes. There is also limited crosstabs which I don't like.
Raju R.: Good morning, Raju, Digital Ops Manager in Walmart. I give Tableau four out of five. Business problem plus, compare the metrics between its department and to the overall market. The most thing I like about Tableau is the highlighted part, I like most. The performance with the higher value come to the top and the lower performance come to the bottom with the highlighted things. That is the must I like. And another thing, it is easy to change between the tabs. That's what I liked. It loaded very slow. And when I tried to run some report, it keeps loading, loading, loading, and I have to close, and turn in again. That's the part I don't like.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
