AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that Tableau excels in data visualization, particularly with its "Graphs and Charts" feature, which received a high score of 9.2, making it a favorite for creating visually appealing reports. In contrast, SAS Enterprise Guide's data visualization capabilities are rated lower at 7.8, leading some users to feel that its visual outputs are less engaging.
  • Reviewers mention that Tableau's "Dashboards" feature is highly rated at 9.1, allowing for intuitive and interactive data presentations. SAS Enterprise Guide, however, has a lower score of 7.8 in this area, which some users feel limits their ability to create dynamic dashboards.
  • G2 users highlight Tableau's superior "Map Design" and "Vector Mapping" capabilities, both rated at 9.5, which are particularly beneficial for users needing advanced geographical data representation. SAS Enterprise Guide does not match this level of functionality, leading some users to express disappointment in its mapping features.
  • Users on G2 report that Tableau's "Ease of Use" is rated at 8.3, making it more accessible for beginners compared to SAS Enterprise Guide's score of 8.2. This slight edge in usability is often cited by reviewers as a reason for choosing Tableau for teams with varying levels of technical expertise.
  • Reviewers mention that Tableau's "Data Preparation" capabilities, particularly its "Connectors" feature, scored 8.8, which facilitates seamless data integration from various sources. In contrast, SAS Enterprise Guide's connectors received a lower score of 7.8, leading some users to find it less efficient for data preparation tasks.
  • Users say that Tableau's "Quality of Support" is rated at 8.4, with many reviewers praising the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team. SAS Enterprise Guide, while still decent at 8.0, has received feedback indicating that users sometimes experience longer wait times for assistance.
