Zendesk Explore vs Tableau Comparison

BIME is very easy to use for digital marketing people. It has tons of connections. Since it's very easy to use, you don't spend too much time to implement.

Coomunity support is still a bit weak. Also it's not flexible as Tableau. It's more digital marketers tool than BI tool.

-Very easy to use and teach non-technical people. -Extremely flexible and capable platform -Excellent customer service -Very scalable pricing plans

-Documentation hasn't caught up to improvements/features with the tool

I like the ease to collect and prepare data with this tool. It's simple to analyze and visualize data with Tableau.

I have had an amazing experience with Tableau and I lack anything to complain.

excellent user interface (especially from mobile), has a very active user and developer community that answered in a short time. It's comparatively low cost solution and provides a complete set of tools

developers necessary must have strong technical skills to build the initial structure. Once you publish a document there is no way to recover previous versions(no pulling back actions)

It allows me to easily explore and visualize data without SQL knowledge

It has a learning curve and is not easy to share with non familiarized collaborators

I am using tableau from very long, specifically tableau desktop, Its highly pluggable means, you can easily connect with many different data sources, hive ,impala ,presto , cloudera hadoop and many other's. Sometimes, it works very slow, that is one complain and it is very costly, but I am willing to pay because of features.

It is very costly but analytics are very easy with tableau thus I am willing to pay and I use it every day

Tableau definitely helped our company developing a proccess to use relevant data in the important decisions. It has a flat learnig curve that make it easy from business people with little/no previous experience with complex data analysis use it and produce some useful insights, from day 1. Another point to mention is the ease of implementation, it can be purchased as a subscription( or a lifetime license) at a first moment and then hosted on cloud or at the local server.

One of the few points it worth mentioning as con: the cost. It offers way more features and resources than its main competitor but its price is up to 6x higher, which make it not so attractive to small or medium-sized companies

I think it is the fastest tool to pick up out there. It has almost unlimited capability without a monstrous learning curve. Yes, to do the harder things, that takes time, but one can be productive quickly.

I think the pricing is a but high compared to other tools. Tableau prep is a great addition but runs slowly.

It's simple to discover and explore data with Tableau.It's easier to prepare data using this tool.I like ease to analyze large datasets.

This tool performance is excellent hence nothing to point out as flaw.

I really like tableau because it is very simple and easy to use. it's also help to get start very quickly to plot data and its interface is very well designed

Tableau is the best dataviz tool that i ever used. so i am hundred percent satisfied.

It's simple to discover and explore data with this tool. Data preparation is well facilitated using this tool. I like the ability to create data visualization.

There is nothing that hinders me while working with this tool thus it meets all my needs.

I used Tableau to better understand our target market and provide statistics to potential clients. It gave some solid numbers and data that helped in my day to day in sales.

There were so many different data points and features, it was a bit confusing to pull the numbers I was looking for. If no one has used Tableau before, there may be a pretty steep learning curve.

I love the simplicity of this software. With it, I can easily create visualization and explore my DWH with no effort! The aggregation functions are great and take away a lot of complexity from my work.

Sometimes I need to customize the visualization I make in order to adapt them to my needs, but this is not always possible or it's not trivial at least.

Tableau allows for very good exploratory data analysis, and one can build amazing visualizations with it. Once you learn how to work with it, it becomes very easy to explore data and get insights from it.

Tableau is very expensive compared to its competitors, and if you want to get the whole company using it for dashboards, the pricing is certainly prohibitive for startups. I also don't Tableau for Dashboards, as the discovery and navigation interface is not very inviting to business users and dashboards are hard do discover. At the same time, building dashboards on Tableau is a lot less straightforward than in other tools. One can build very advanced dashboards, but that requires a lot of time and expertise, which not all Data users in a company will be.

Tableau makes it easy for me to understand how my clients are using our platforms. It also makes it easy to download full usage reports when I need to deliver to clients. Its integration was seamless, and the usage reports even populate inside our CRM now.

Tableau's user experience could be improved upon. It's not always intuitive to find the information you're looking for. There are lots of functions you would never know about unless you just happened to be clicking around. Better UX design could really improve the way this data is taken in and digested.

Tableau is initially intuitive, and anyone can learn to use its basic functions very quickly. There is also a layer of depth that you can explore for hundreds of hours, truly becoming an expert in showing what is really happening in the data.

After understanding the basic features, learning some of the more complex features can be really daunting. Though Tableau has some free basic trainings, I would love to see more content availability and learning tools.

It is set up to easily create tables with filters and charts with minimal SQL, versus a solution like periscope

Is is less flexible that a less built out solution such as Periscope where you have to build more from scratch, but aslo have more flexibility. Requires explore license to download full data vs viewer license

the drag and drop feature creating dashboards is easy but the actions get confusing when you have many filters and pages on one dashboard and it would be nice to copy and paste buttons and have them be in the same spot on new dashboards or be able to align them

Customer support - how difficult it is to reset filters on dashboards this should be built in the point of a dashboard is to explore different scenarios how did they miss the fact that you need to reset to status quo

Tableau is a very easy to use software program. It works quite intuitive when you open the program. It's easy to connect to many data sources. After the connection it just takes a few clicks to create simple dashboards. But there are so much more options! Much to explore within this product.

If you need to do many additional calculations to your data set, sometimes Tableau gets slow. It takes some time to do these calculations and that mkes dashboards much slower.

End of the days of endless static powerpoint charts!! Thank God for Tableau's ability to connect to complex databases or Alteryx, and host live, shifting dashboards for clients. It's not perfect, but the ability for people to visually explore data through dynamic features is such a game changer for people who rely on metrics on a day to day basis. All strategy consultants everywhere, hail Tableau for revolutionizing management dashboards.

Tableau can be tricky to learn, and the ways to make modifications on chart type, colors, etc. can be unintuitive. You also need clean, usable data to make it work well.

Easy to understand, use and implement. Single step connectivity to any of the files or Data sources. Get the data from anywhere and create the visualizations in a quick way. Lot many options to explore and you feel wow when you see amazing visualizations being created. Analytics is something that makes Tableau to be different from its competitors. So body can even get to the height of Tableau in the near future.

Cost is little on the higher side. If you want to utilize the few features of Tableau then you will have to shell out heavy as a single user licence. Otherwise the best one to use

Tableau is one of those tools that you probably know or have heard about it if you are into the world of Data Science, Data Analytics, or Business Intelligence. If you haven't learned it yet, I really recommend it. This platform allows you to analyze your datasets, explore them, and manage them easily. It also aids you in keeping track of the flow of the data, since the phase of data preparation to publishing your findings and insights. The desktop version is possibly the best, but there's also the choice of the online version.

I would like to have a cheaper version, maybe lighter or with less functionality, but more accessible to the data professionals who can't afford the actual prices or cannot gather a group.

Market leading software

It can be expensive

Tableau makes creating visually stunning dashboards and info-graphics relatively easy. You start by connecting to a data source (SQL database, Excel flat file, etc.) and then using various tools to present your information and analytics in a graphical way that's easy for your audience to understand. It supports a great deal of data input formats and offers a lot of flexibility in how to analyze and display information. Plus, the visualizations you create can be static for delivery via a rendered format like PDF or PowerPoint or published on the web for an interactive experience. You can present information at a high level and let your report audience drill into to the details.

There is a bit of a learning curve. I am a fairly good self-learner and when I first start using new software. I like to tinker and experiment before diving into documentation and manuals. Tableau is not difficult by any means, but some of the tasks you want to accomplish are not going to be obvious in terms of how they function. For example, I struggled at first with figuring out how to add subtotals to some data I had brought in. Of course I was able to readily do so once I researched via help files but that's the sort of thing I would have thought to be more intuitive and easy to figure out on my own first.
