Natalie M.

Intern

Cons

“Its very slow to load, and the sharing links are annoying you should be able to copy the browser url instead of taking an extra minute to load the shareable link”
MS

Mrwa S.

Senior Solutions Engineer

“Also, it is rather difficult to embed Tableau dashboards into web pages and provide interactive action from the web page level; the Tableau.js library and support is slightly limited.”
RS

Robert S.

Data Analyst

“It can be slow with large datasets, and some tasks require extra data prep outside Tableau.”

Sachita B.

Student

Cons

“What we least like about SAP is that it can not be used by just anyone a bit of computer literacy is needed as some functions and instructions are a bit hard to understand with out some computer literacy.”

“Most of the reports for a user would be available as Global reports however certain specific customised reports are sent to the inbox of the user where that user can only run the same report and will not be available for other users. While accessing the inbox reports, we often encountered issues where the user was not able to run the report or the report will get deleted automatically after some time or the report output will be very slow.”

“That’s a huge issue, especially when mistakes happen.”
