### "Very intuitive and best BI solution for small datasets"

December 7, 2022

5.0

Overall, I would say that Tableau is still a great data visualization tool. Very intuitive and flexible. If you need to run large datasets, make sure those are stored in a database first, so you don't run into issues with Tableau.

Pros

Out of all BI tools, I find Tableau to be the easiest to use. It also contains features that allow for very robust data transformation. I like that it can also handle SQL. I've used it for many years when I worked as a data analyst, and it has been great working with it.

Cons

I'm not a fan of this tool when it comes to handling big datasets, because it can slow down. Tableau works best when you connect it to a database that can store and aggregate the data the way you need it for reporting. I also didn't like that it can be tricky and almost impossible to set up global filters. Setting up parameters for date fields is not very intuitive.

### "Tableau "

May 20, 2023

3.0

I like the data visual option of the tableau and the manipulation of data is much easy in the tableau.

Pros

I like the option in the tableau which is very handy and which makes it better than other visual tools.

Cons

I personally find it very boring to load the bulk of data and it consumes much time.

### "Tableau is my life"

September 24, 2021

5.0

Excellent

Pros

I can't imagine if there is any other better tool out there for data prep, data analysis, storytelling, data visualization for this price which can seamlessly integrate with almost any type of data sources

Cons

Tableau prep needs to be a little better in cleaning data tasks, feels like excel is better as of now

### "Extremely useful, difficult to get used to"

February 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

I currently go to a dental school that uses the software to keep track of students' production and progress towards graduation. It has assisted me in keeping track of my numbers and seeing which quarters I have produced the most, what procedures I still have in progress, and the milestones that I need to reach in order to stay on track to graduate. It is a very useful analytical tool that most likely has many other applications in the business.

Cons

It took some time to get used to all of the analytical tools available in the software. The main page looked very cluttered and it was difficult to navigate at first. Like any other software, there is a learning curve. Once you master the software, I'm sure that it would serve you very well in any business analytic ventures,

### "Excellent"

January 13, 2020

5.0

Overall, love the versatility and ease of use. There is some training that you need to go through to learn the full functionality and collaboration, but the options you get with this software are endless. High recommend to anyone who is into visual storytelling.

Pros

I was introduced to this product a few years ago when trying to work on data dashboards. I work large volumes of data and numbers don't make sense to high management. We need to summarize data and provide visual storyboards to provide summaries to leadership. In the past, I have employed Excel or Powerpoint to make charts and graphs. While those work great, Tableau provides a much better quality product where multiple functions and calculations are available at your fingertip. The graphics look extremely professional and provide a great variety of options or summarizing and analyzing data. Love this state of the art tool!

Cons

When I started using this software, one thing that I didn't like was how the online platform is open to everyone. The data and the graphics I produce can be accessible to anyone. Working with sensitive data that we can't give access to anyone, I couldn't use the free version. I suggest, they provide a free option where you can house your private data and dashboards. Other than that, perhaps the price would be a factor too. It took me several hoops to get it approved through my management to have it installed.

### "BI and Custom Analytics beyond belief! "

January 6, 2020

5.0

Ability to quickly present the high-level metrics to the leadership team utilizing customized dashboards.

Pros

I love how Tableau is capable of visualizing any data I throw at it! I utilize it mostly to map customers and help the leadership team quickly visualize all of our customer data, prospects, web performance with customized dashboards. Tableau has come a long way since I started to use it in 2015. It is an excellent tool for any analyst out there!

Cons

The only negative about Tableau is the price. Also, there is quite a bit of a learning curve to be able to utilize most of the features within it. It's trial and error to be honest.

### "Mostly used for data visualisation "

August 11, 2022

4.0

Pros

For us or for our clients, we use Tableau for data visualization. It actually allows us to create some “tableau” to manage and comprehend all the data we gathered and work with. We can take better actions toward the future. We also allows us to create reporting for our users.

Cons

It is not easy to set-up but that must be normal as we talking about a huge chunk of data. It is necessary to have someone dedicated to it.

### "Tableau una buena altenativa de BI"

September 23, 2022

4.0

Lo usamos como herramienta de Cuadro de Mando de Control, como herramienta de visualización de los avances y alcances

Pros

Es bastante simple en su manejo, especialmente si los datos ya han sido tratados y no requiere mayor esfuerzo

Cons

Algunas limitaciones que se encontraban en el armado de las graficas y visualizaciones

Reason for choosing Tableau

Cuando ingrese a mis funciones y cargo, ya se tenia la elección hecha, y se continuo con su uso debido a la familiaridad con la que los usuarios tenían con ella

### "Tableau Software Review - Desktop"

April 5, 2020

5.0

In company such big as mine we are using Tableau to it's full extent and probably over the limits as stakeholders tend to be complicated, so far there was no thing that couldn't be done through Tableau.

Pros

Definitely ease of use is one of the best things regarding Tableau for less advanced users.For me, experienced user of Data Viz tools, numerous data connectors, limitless customization are probably the most likable things.

Cons

Nothing exceptional, maybe integration with some of the Microsoft features such as One Drive could be less complicated when we are talking about publishing dashboards and some automation(subscriptions won't work with One Drive).

### "A Review of Tableau"

December 12, 2019

3.0

I have been using Tableau in the office for over 2 years now. It is a product that continues to develop and evolve to better serve as a data visual and analysis tool.

Pros

Tableau is a great data visualization tool. If you need to make charts, graphs, tables or other types of data visuals, Tableau can get it done. You are able to upload files or connect directly to data sources on a server. After data is loaded, it is literally a drag and drop interface.

Cons

Tableau is great for creating visuals but is not so great as a data analysis tool. It lacks the ability to analyze and manipulate data that uses complex formulas and calculations.

In my organization, there was a need to create a central hub for data. Tableau has allowed us to import and connect multiple data sources.

### "A good solution to visual data, and to automate reporting"

June 16, 2021

4.0

It is a good solution to create dashboards, especially if you are using data from varying sources. Creating, maintaining, or customizing reporting is difficult and requires experienced data management teams which is less flexible than other data dashboard solutions.

Pros

Overall, Tableau is a good platform to create dashboards that can be shared easily to communicate data from one source of truth. The connections work well, and it is compatible with varying software and ERPs.

Cons

This software is not as user friendly as some of the other data dashboard software and requires teams that are experienced in data management and writing code as opposed to a data cube that can be used in varying options. It is difficult to have custom reporting self written which creates bottle necks and more requests than self service.

### "Tableau's new owner SalesForce needs to learn what Customer Support is "

May 6, 2022

4.0

inventory analysis and predictive analysis with regression

Pros

the drag and drop feature creating dashboards is easy but the actions get confusing when you have many filters and pages on one dashboard and it would be nice to copy and paste buttons and have them be in the same spot on new dashboards or be able to align them

Cons

Customer support - how difficult it is to reset filters on dashboards this should be built in the point of a dashboard is to explore different scenarios how did they miss the fact that you need to reset to status quo

### "Premium Choice for Data Analytics"

February 17, 2022

5.0

Tableau is a data visualization software that translates raw data into valuable and meaningful insights. It assists businesses in collecting and interpreting data from various sources such as spreadsheets, cloud apps like Google Analytics and Salesforce.

Pros

What I love about this is that I can build interactive dashboards through individual reports/worksheets. This platform can really handle large amount of data and complex statistical analysis with ease and gives cohesive results.

Cons

I didn’t quite like that there are some limitations to email alert. For example, you can only drag the date range option instead of selecting dates. It’s time consuming. It also takes a while to import data.

### "Nice tool for data visualisations and presentations"

December 13, 2022

5.0

Got introduced Tabelau through my course in data analytics. Overall it's a nice software bit costly though.

Pros

I love the dashboard feature and easy story telling feature. We can add comments below the visualization and give presentations directly instead of transferring into different presentation platform.

Cons

Once started to use I liked everything about this software. Sometimes importing data which is been edited in the original format file can be difficult or can cause error while visualizing.

### "Tableau helps you see easily some data and do some basic data analytics"

May 24, 2023

4.0

Tableau helps you manage huge amount of information and create dashbords and plots with some previously categorised information. It is useful for some basic big data analytics

Pros

It's easy to use and if you categorise correctly the information, it can be very powerfull in managing and classifying information, even creating some simple plots

Cons

It takes long to manage the information and the dashboards, up to 5-8 seconds so sometime it's difficult to play with filters because it takes long.

Muy contento con la herramienta en general, es sencillo de utilizar, la visualización de los datos es muy buena y me gusta lo facil que es crear nuevos dashboards.

Me gusta el que puedas crear tus propios dashboards, que sea sencillo y la manera en la que visualizas los datos.

Pueden repetirse los datos, que haya dos o mas dashboards iguales, podría de manera proactiva decirte que ya hay alguno similar al que estas creando.
