- G2 users highlight that Tableau's "Reports Interface" is rated at 8.8, which is competitive, but Discern's overall reporting capabilities, including "Dashboards" rated at 9.6, indicate a more robust reporting experience that may better meet the needs of users looking for comprehensive analytics.
- Users on G2 report that Discern's ease of use is a significant advantage, scoring 9.3 compared to Tableau's 8.3. This suggests that new users may find Discern more intuitive and easier to navigate, which can lead to quicker adoption and productivity.
