How is Tableau Pulse different from dashboards?

Dashboards and Tableau Pulse differ in that the former is a manual search of the user and the latter is the insights being presented to the user. It interprets changes in metrics, points out drivers, and notifies users automatically, which minimizes the use of analysts.

Can Tableau Pulse replace traditional BI reporting?

It is not a complete replacement of dashboards but a supplement. Dashboards are useful in deep analysis and Tableau Pulse is helpful in continuing monitoring and proactive insights.

What do organizations need before implementing Tableau Pulse?

Organizations require governed, time series measures, explicit Metrics Layer, and business/finance alignment with KPI definitions. Further evaluate data preparation, build Tableau Pulse applications, and execute integrations to push insights into daily tools.

What is the difference between Tableau pulse and ThoughtSpot?

Tableau Pulse is aimed at delivering proactive insights and this is achieved through constantly checking metrics and pushing out explanations. ThoughtSpot is more of search-driven data analytics, in which the user can ask questions and interactively explore the data in the process.

What is Pulse AI used for?

Pulse AI is used to analyze KPI changes, identify drivers behind performance shifts, detect anomalies, and generate natural-language explanations that help users understand what happened and what actions to take.

Can viewers use Tableau Pulse?

Yes, Tableau Pulse may be utilized by the viewers who have access to the metrics. Pulse aims at business users and can enable even non-technical viewers to obtain insights, alerts, and explanations without having to create dashboards.
