Using Einstein anayltics for every day reporting
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I have access to nearly all my data, without having to create report after report is amazing. The visual clarity and simple point and click interface are a God send compared to the static reporting of other platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a fairly steep learning curve that comes with it. You definitely need to understand your data and which "bucket" they reside in. but once you learn it, you're flying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The result of being able to see all my Sales people's activity, closure rate, top performers, etc all in one place!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you know what you're doing with your data, and know how to analyze it correctly and segment into the correct market, then Einstein analytics will show you a whole new world of managing, tracking, and reporting on your data. The use case of being able to generate a beautiful report that interacts with a simple point and click to sift through tons of data is more than enough reason to make the switch. Instead of having to create multiple reports, you can have one analytics dashboard that can show all necessary information in a clean, simple to understand format.
Best software for visualisation
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau doesn’t move your data. Tableau resolves its queries on the database itself and only displays the graph or chart. The data stays securely in your existing database.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customization of charts are difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to build the dashboard. If any changes needs to be made, it can be done quickly without having a longer wait time.
Tableau is a great visualization tool but hard to learn
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a fun and useful tool to make presentations and visualizations of data that you cannot do with Microsoft Excel. It is especially good when you have to do reporting that is completed on an ongoing basis. There are many options to work with the data and the ability to work with geographic, SQL, sales, etc types of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is extremely hard to master and very often you have to learn by trial and error. Some functions are not intuitive at all and it is very slow to work on Tableau. Also, you generally have to format the data perfectly first on MS Excel or SQL to ensure that Tableau can work most efficiently. It is a data visualization tool, not a tool to parse through data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to view trends and solve business questions that would otherwise take me longer to complete, visualization, and think about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely use it if you are doing reporting. It is hard to learn but can be worth it. If it is easier analysis or one-off analysis, definitely stick to MS Excel.
Robust analytics and visualization platform
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboards, hands down. It gives me real-time feedback on my performance based on completed prospecting efforts to give me a holistic view of my progress as an account executive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to build out. I would love to have an increased capabilities to build my own reports within my CRM
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting and coaching become much easier when the data can be visualized.
Great Data Visiualization
What do you like best about the product?
The data visualization, especially using the heatmapping tool to identify the "clusters" of a specific audience within a particular geo is very effective in understanding how to localize campaigns and media mix when buying on a national level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating the report--or getting the actual data to visualize is a bit more difficult than other similar platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Audience insights. Being able to understand who are audience is or where they are is how we use it. An added bonus is uncovering some additional consumption (or other) habits that you can leverage when planning/buying.
Great for BI

Ease of use, beautiful charts and graphics that are easy to manipulate

Great Dashboards for Visualization of My Pipeline/Quota
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is dynamic and offers the ability to build excellent visuals to see what is happening in my business.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without some background Tableau knowledge, it is difficult to create the visualization you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization of my business, where I stand and where I need to be in order to hit my goals. Dashboards have also been created to show my expected compensation based on commission. Territory mapping has also been created for my organization in Tableau.
Sophisticated business intelligence tool that is fast developing into the go-to standard
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent import flexibility and fairly sophisticated field mapping compatibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
Publishing to workbooks could be easier, and exported files can quickly get pretty bloated. External support for libraries of visualizations would be very helpful to the community, so we don't need to reinvent the wheel. Mobile support would be useful, especially for use on tablets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building custom dashboards is a lot easier now and I am now shaving a couple hours per week vs. our internal solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Friendlier alternative to SpotFire. Server platform is more flexible than Tibco's model.
