Tableau is a powerful Business Intelligence solution that works under solid science, and effects a fusion of graphical computing and databases. In this way, it helps companies to visualize, understand and share large volumes of information graphically and easily. Next, let's look at more details about Tableau's competitive advantages.
Tableau, ideal for all work areas
Tableau brings practical data analytics to every department in your company, from finance and human resources to sales and business. Thanks to Tableau, collaborators in all areas and of all skill levels will be able to access, understand and analyze data faster and easier.
Likewise, Tableau allows you to easily build reports tailored to each department in your organization. What's more, it provides you with a self-service analytics solution that is easy to customize, integrate, and implement. All this, without the need for technical skills or coding knowledge.
For example, in the financial area it gives you the possibility to compare budgets, perform faster internal audits, as well as analyze investment risk with a deeper vision.
Through simple functions such as drag and drop, anyone can easily access and analyze data, and even create reports and share this information with other users.
Tools
Tableau works through 3 main means:
• Desktop (Tableau Desktop): The desktop connects and analyzes data and information.
• Server (Tableau Server): thanks to the server, we can collaborate safely and share information from the data we have uploaded through Tableau Desktop (the desktop version of the software).
• Online (Tableau Online) - This is a cloud-hosted version of Tableau Server. In this way, we can access our data without having to go through a tedious installation process.
In addition to these three main tools, Tableau integrates others to provide the most complete user experience possible:
• Tableau Mobile: it is a free complementary application for Tableau Server or Tableau Online that allows access to data and information stored in our account.
• Tableau Public: It is a completely free version of Tableau Desktop and Tableau Online to display the data that you want to share publicly.
• Tableau Prep: it is a solution that will allow us to combine, clean and prepare our data in an easy and simple way.
Tableau Features and Functionalities
We already know that we are facing an excellent program that will help us to have our data and documents properly archived and controlled. But how do you do it? These are the most interesting features of Tableau:
• Multiple data connections: You can connect to various data sources without any programming, such as Redshift, Cloudera Hadoop, SQL Server, Salesforce, Google Analytics and Google Sheets, MongoDB, PDF files, Dropbox, Amazon Athena, and more.
• Live data and stored in memory: You can easily switch between extracted data and live connections, setting up automatic extraction updates and receiving notifications when a data connection fails.
• Secure collaboration: Thanks to Tableau Server and Tableau Online, you can share and collaborate safely without worrying about data leaks or relevant information. This is very essential as it doesn’t only protect your vital data but also ensure that you enjoy a seamless experience when sharing and collaborating.
• Designs optimized for mobile devices: Device Designer is a tool that allows users to design, customize and publish dashboards at scale that are optimized according to the device, regardless of whether we are viewing it from a computer, mobile or tablet.
• Integrated dashboards: you can integrate dashboards into your existing applications, such as Salesforce, SharePoint and Jive, achieving a quick analysis in a practical way.
