Adobe Analytics Tableau Direct Connector

With the existing Data Warehouse Tableau export functionality, there are several limitations (e.g., length of time to export, gap in measures available, etc.).

My proposal is to implement an Adobe Analytics Tableau Direct Connector. This will allow Adobe Analytics customers to increase agility with reporting and allow resources to be shifted from reporting to more time spent analyzing and recommending actions based on the data.

Life will be so wonderful if this is integrated. Considering the BI tool is ranked number 1, as well as Adobe Analytics which is ranked number 1 in its area, this integration should happen soon enough, fingers crossed.

We completely agree. To this point, as we have been working with Tableau we have found some differences in our APIs that have prevented this. We are continuing to work on our APIs and to work closely with Tableau to help make this happen in the future.

Hi Ben,

 

Glad to hear that the team is making strides to bring this vision to life. Any estimate on timing? Can we expect the connector to role out in first half/second half of 2015?

 

Thanks,

Michael

@msimone I can't provide an ETA at this time, but it's definitely something we're conscious of. If I learn more, I'll add it to this thread.

This would be an incredible feature to see go live. It would increase productivity exponentially if the api/ftp setup process was no longer needed to get our data into Tableau.

 

Would make for an awesome Summit release too

@benjamingaines would love to hear about any progress on this. there have been several community members including myself that have developed some makeshift/unstable workarounds. the TDE is a good start, but it is not an optimal solution for many users. 

 

in the meantime, i will be encouraging my team members to upvote this post for visibility. if there is anything else i can do to enhance the visibility of this request, please let me know. 

 

looking forward to hearing from you.

It was a great disappointment when I did not hear this integration announced at Adobe Summit this year. Any update on an ETA?

Additionally, the tde that is generated now is not very useful and strays away from the very purpose of a tde. We have found it to be virtually useless in an automated solution for dashboarding.
