### "Tableau IS my 'keep up to date tool'"

September 17, 2021

5.0

it keep records truly on everything about each client so my most used tab is top 25 accounts which is what management looks at most

Pros

as fast as time goes it tells me my last contact with a client, when I presented a campaign last and keeps me on my toes - making me able to stay on top of many client accounts at all times.

Cons

there is a lot of info - just take time to go thru each tab and process all the info. was a little overwhelming at first but it is such a great help in staying on task

### "Tableau - one of the best data visualization tools on the markets"

August 31, 2020

5.0

Tableau serves as a one stop shop for different data insights for various applications across the company. Its dashboards can be accessed with a few clicks, which is really time saving. Tableau is constantly improving with its new releases, which is a big plus.

Pros

One of Tableau's greatest advantages is the ability to connect to many different data sources and combine them into one nice dashboard where users can find the necessary information. Tableau is a very intuitive application, both for developers and end users. It has many functionalities that improve the user experience, like different visualizations, option to drill-down to more detailed data, or even to create predefined views based on who the user's role in the company.

Cons

It's quite difficult to implement the non-custom changes in Tableau, like those demanding javascript knowledge.

Reason for choosing Tableau

Great user experience and the ease of usage, when creating different dashboards - no need to have a code knowledge.

### "Critique on Tableau for company use"

July 1, 2022

5.0

Very satisfied with the use, capabilities and training involved.

Pros

It’s a simple, cost effective software that is easy to learn and makes data visualization exciting and informative for everyone involved.

Cons

Mapping problems stem from attempting to match different value types, such as from Excel, but otherwise it’s not a major roadblock.

### "Great features, just wish the performance wasn't so clunky"

November 18, 2022

4.0

Pros

The features offered by Tableau are great for business of all sizes. The reporting and data visualization features stand out. I have been able to apply this in many situations.

Cons

The performance really starts to hurt when the data size is large. There is no easy way to get reports with a smooth performance and you end up having to wait. The price can also be high for some SMBs.

### "One of the best data visualization tool"

March 1, 2019

5.0

I always use Tableau as my first data visualization tool for any datasets. Really helpful for quick data exploration. We have also built powerful dashboards in Tableau.

Pros

The best thing about Tableau is the simplicity in use and its power in handling even large datasets even in GBs. Can handle various types of input formats and geo-based analytics too.

Cons

Tableau as of now doesn't have features for 3d visualizations, which if added, will be very useful.

### "Best Visualization tool out there"

February 17, 2019

5.0

Amazing! The dashboards I made on Tableau are widely used in my organization by many associates as well as to make strategic decisions. It has a strong Discussion forum present.

Pros

The kind of Visualization you can make without even have to code a line is a serious boon. Even for non available features, there are plenty of work around available.

Cons

Few bugs and additional features needs to be addressed specially the ones long pending in discussion forums

May 2, 2017

5.0

Tableau is very very useful for self-analysis of data, It's very user-friendly and easy to learn, I am using Tableau since last 5 year.Thankyou tableau team for all your efforts.

Pros

Sometimes we got some limitation in tableau but its a very good tool to showcase of our data to the right audience.

Cons

As I am using tableau since last 5 year continuously, I don't get any issue with tableau but as this tool very costly most of the company are not using it.

### "Once you learn how to use it, it makes a great data visualization and prediction tool!"

March 21, 2022

5.0

To me, Tableau is worth the money. Especially if you have to present your data to colleagues. They have options to make your data so easy to understand, not limited to common ones like graphs and charts. I also like that I can play around with their data prediction tools.

Pros

Because I mainly use Excel for data recording, I like that Tableau does not require inputting the data again. I can just export my data and start visualizing it and preparing reports.

Cons

If you don't have the proper training, you won't get full use of this software. It goes beyond data recording and I think data visualization is its main use (at least to me/ that's why I got it). Most of the features there are not self-explanatory. You have to take extra steps and watch their free videos to learn how to use them.

Alternatives considered

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

Reason for choosing Tableau

Although Microsoft Excel is the best at data recording, there are visualization tools that Tableau has that they do not have.

### "Best Visualization Software Ever"

April 4, 2020

5.0

Excellent product to use for telling stories with your data.

Pros

Very easy to learn and us by even non-technical people. Can manipulate data from excel sheets to large hadoop databases.More than 30+ visualizations available and easy to integrate with statistics and analytics.

Cons

Not anything I could think of. They are very fast in releasing latest versions every 2-3 months to overcome the shortcomings and add more features.

### "Tableau is a must learn for data professionals"

August 28, 2019

5.0

Data Analysis, data exploration and management, professional plots, dashboards, reports

Pros

Tableau is one of those tools that you probably know or have heard about it if you are into the world of Data Science, Data Analytics, or Business Intelligence. If you haven't learned it yet, I really recommend it. This platform allows you to analyze your datasets, explore them, and manage them easily. It also aids you in keeping track of the flow of the data, since the phase of data preparation to publishing your findings and insights. The desktop version is possibly the best, but there's also the choice of the online version.

Cons

I would like to have a cheaper version, maybe lighter or with less functionality, but more accessible to the data professionals who can't afford the actual prices or cannot gather a group.

### "Tableau has taken our Self-Serve BI to the next level. "

January 9, 2018

5.0

Quick insights on data.

Pros

The most beneficial part of Tableau has been the ease of use for employees who are not technically trained. Allowing them to have access to data that impact their daily jobs has created so many positive benefits.

Cons

There are some limitation on reporting, such as the inability to send out PDF's. Our management likes to receive reporting in PDF format and that capability is not available.

### "Wonderful Tool for Seeing Data"

February 28, 2020

5.0

I enjoy looking at Tableau dashboards far beyond any others we've worked with. It's also helped me uncover data/numbers I didn't realize we had or could analyze.

Pros

I am simply a user of Tableau. I have someone else in the company that generates the reports. But I love that the reports he sends me are easy for me to read and understand. I'm a very visual person so the numbers on a spreadsheet don't do much for me. Tableau helps me visually see the data and allows me to play with it as well. It's not just static numbers on a sheet but allows me to be fluid with the numbers and manipulate the data the way I want.

Cons

I have run into situations where I wish the start and ends date had more control over them. I remember one report where it was either ALL the data or a day of data. I wanted to look at specific gaps of data.

### "Tableau for Business"

December 26, 2019

5.0

Overall, Tableau has helped our teams quickly analyze and make decisions to grow their business based on data from many sources.

Pros

Tableau is a great software that is quickly able to analyze, sort, and return large data sets into easy-to-digest charts, tables, and reports.

Cons

Tableau's reload time has a slight lag to it that leads to a slightly-shaky experience. This interruption can lead to the bottleneck of an analysis being Tableau

### "Makes data understanding easy and useful"

July 21, 2022

5.0

Overall, I enjoyed using this tool and able to deliver best version of data which makes sense to understand and make the business decisions.

Pros

It is very easy to handle large amount of data and making data sensible by creating reports and dashboards with the help of inbuilt visuals, we can connect to most of the on-premises and cloud data sources, speed is good and have variety of visuals.

Cons

When we setup our project initially, it was very tough to purchase the subscription because of tight budget conditions, please reduce the upfront initial cost.

### "Complex but great data visualization tool"

January 29, 2024

4.0

Pros

I like the endless possibility of working with the raw data sets and making them easy-to-understand charts.

Cons

The system is a bit slow if you handle a large data set. Also, it is very complex, so it takes a lot of time to learn how to use it best.

### "Create your dashboard connecting from multiple sources"

December 7, 2019

4.0

We create dashboards for different audiences and different formats.

Pros

Tableau is a good tool to create dashboards and reports in quick time and user-friendly way. The visualizations are smart and understadable. It allows you to divide your data into Metrics, Parameters and Dimensions. The 'Show Me' option will suggest you which visualization create taking into account the variables type that you would like to use. Connecting to data sources like Redshift or Google Sheet is very easy. You can also join data coming from different data sources. Publishing to Tableau Server is a smooth experience and is available from the Tableau Desktop menu.

Cons

Tableau Desktop is not the tool if you need to manipulate or transform your data previously. There's a separate tool to do this, it's called Tableau Prep. I'm switching from another tool that had this feature integrated and I missed it so much at the beginning because it completely changes the way you work. It takes time to perfectly fit all visualizations into a dashboard so it looks nice. You always need to use blank squares to make all fit well.

### "I used this data visualization tool for my work. As a healthcare intelligence intern, it really help"

July 10, 2018

5.0

I got it for a lower price than normal, so I found that the bang for the buck was really good. It was also intuitive to display data, almost drag and drop.

Pros

It really is flexible with all types of data. Some tools, like Power BI, are tricky to use and can be limited by certain file types. I've never ran into an issue like that with Tableau.

Cons

I typically lean against any sort of data visualization tool because of how reliant they are on data sets. Tableau is as limited by incomplete data as any data tool out there. I wish there were more add ons to make incomplete extrapolation easier.

### "Needs Integration Work"

July 7, 2021

4.0

Its a great tool just has some limitation that you would think would be improved by now.

Pros

It has great visualization tools- it's a lot easier to view large data sets and multiple dashboards and graphs in tableau than it would be in any other platform

Cons

The integration needs a lot of work- the fact that tableau is unable to read formula fields from salesforce causes a lot of headaches having to recreate those in tableau.
