### "Much more accurate data for Facebook ads"

June 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

I am using Tableau for data analysis on Facebook ads and it does a fantastic job showing real conversions, their value and other valuable CPA's for our business. It is much more accurate than relying on Pixel or Ads manager data and I can adjust campaigns accordingly to improve performance.

Cons

It might be hard to get used to if you never used similar services.

### "The cheap and easy data visualisation solution. "

July 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau online offers an easy to use method of visualising your data and hosting your visualisations. It's cheaper than other platforms which trade on being easy to use. Their support is excellent and there's loads of tutorials online to help you get started.

Cons

It's more expensive than d3.js or superset, but the trade off is that you don't need any knowledge of coding to be able to use Tableau.

### "Tableau, powerful visualization tool."

February 23, 2020

4.0

Overall, I love the software. It always great ability to develop great, interactive, dashboards for the Directors of multiple divisions in our company.

Pros

The software is user friendly and easy to figure out by reading books (manuals) and watching tutorial videos.

Cons

The company's customer support is lacking. The statistical analysis part of the software is weak. It will get you by the minimum types of calculations.

Alternatives considered

[Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/)

Reason for choosing Tableau

At the time, it seemed more user friendly. It involved some time to become comfortable with. HOWEVER, one is able to quickly grasp the necessary skills to get off to a fast start.

### "Tableau"

November 27, 2023

5.0

Overall Tableau is great, but it does not replace other data management software

Pros

Tableau does a much better job of managing and collecting a large amount of data compared to excel.

Cons

Doesn't have all the functionality of excel so we still have to pull reports over to there. Also there is a much steeper learning curve than excel

### "Another good tool to help you visualize data"

April 19, 2022

3.0

Overall, the experience is good. We have been using it for over a year or so, even more. It's really a very useful tool when we play with data everyday.

Pros

It can help you and your team visualize data. For companies, whatever the size, working with data, numbers, KPIs: it's a good software. It helps you arrange and manage your data for you to get specific data. It helps you track down your evolution over time.

Cons

It is very hard to use if you don't have someone dedicated to it. Also UX/UI is not great, it doesn't impact the accuracy of what you want to know while using it though.

### "Most powerful Bi-software"

April 12, 2021

5.0

Pros

Tableau is all inclusive bi-sofware. We drive all our data to Tableau. We can handle web-site traffic, financial, and all our customerdata in tableau. You can also easy connect data sources and see some brand new infromation.

Cons

This so complex program, so you have learn to use it quit much and you need a data engineer to help you to start this program

### "The most comprehensive tool to analyze multiple sources of information"

January 9, 2018

5.0

A special mention should be made about their student policy. I started with the software because the company gave me a one year access while I was in school, and I brought the knowledge I acquired with it to my employers. It is a great way of promoting the software and giving students a great tool for their resume at the same time.

Pros

Tableau’s productivity suite allows you to connect it to all data sources we’re already using in a matter of minutes. This maximized our analysts' productivity, moving their tasks from the mostly mechanical to the analytical. It is incredibly easy to use; it is intuitive even for non-savvy users, and doesn’t took time, programming knowledge, or expensive training for our team to get a grasp on it. Its collaboration features facilitate group analytics, and at the same time ensure that all team members are on the same page. The best part about it is the devoted mobile app for different devices, which allowed our sales representatives to work from wherever they are. Last, but not least, their tech support team is unmatched in service and follow-up.

Cons

Even with all the flexible options they provide, it's still a pricey solution. However, it is totally worth it

### "Great support, beautiful visualizations"

March 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's easy to use once you get the hang of the structure (takes a few full days to get used to everything). The support is amazing, and the team is always able to resolve issues within 1-2 days. I highly recommend it. The visualizations are beautiful.

Cons

It's expensive, harder for new users to pick up, and there is no folder structure on the Tableau server. Data connections can be glitchy.

### "Tableau - Analysis made easy"

July 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like the features and constant updates to the software to stay relevant in the marketplace. A lot of my work got transferred from multiple spreadsheets to a single click analysis, working with spreadsheets was tedious but Tableau made it super efficient and fun to work with.

Cons

There is adaptability issues with the software across organization, I can't share the data analysis with the stakeholders not using the software. I believe tool integration is the way ahead to keep all people in the organization leverage the power of Tableau tool.

### "Tableau made my pile of numbers into a story about my customers."

October 21, 2021

5.0

I have learned a lot about data analysis through the tableau learning site. Customer support is great.

Pros

The data can be manipulated in so many ways. Instantly, you get a view of the numbers that makes sense.

Cons

If your data source is not clean, it may take a while to get it to import.

### "Good Platform For Centralized Data Analysis & Reports"

May 12, 2022

4.0

It is really good tool and satisfied our organizational reporting and also executive reporting needs.

Pros

We used it for moving all region data one centralized place and create our tailor made reports. It is a good tool and easy to integrate with other tools. Variety of reports is enough. It is possible to create different sheets within a report to make it efficient.

Cons

If you are working with a huge data then you might face slow responses from the tool. Filters sometimes works slow as well.

### "Outstanding for Data Analysis"

November 28, 2018

5.0

One of the best tools for data analysis. Give it a try!

Pros

I was first introduced to Tableau in an advanced data mining course and I loved it from the first time I got to play around with it. While it is pretty standard to need some time to learn the ins and outs of a solid data analysis software, Tableau makes the experience much smoother with its many tutorials available from both the company itself and the community surrounding it. The feature that I loved the most and really got me hooked on Tableau was the Geo-targeted heat-map that is very easy to implement withing a few clicks.

Cons

Could be somewhat expensive for students, but they do offer a free trial once you prove your enrollment. No other cons that I can come up with at the moment.

### "Great for BI, Dashboards and data analysis"

March 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

We generate our CFO dashboards and use our transaction data grid as the source of data. There are no problems working with millions of records with Tableau. Development is faster as well.

Cons

Though majority of our sources are SQL based, there are occasional data sources which do not provide traditional ODBC based connection. It would be great if Tableau can provide custom interfaces.

### "BI Tabs at it's Best."

January 6, 2020

5.0

My overall experience has been extremely positive with Tableau, as it makes reporting and data synchronizing a breeze with its join and union options.

Pros

I really like the versatility that is included with Tableau, how user-friendly it is, and how you can customize based on where the data is coming from.

Cons

I think the dashboard could be a little bit more responsive to user entry, much like other tools like Qlik Sense.

5.0

Utilizing historical data, Tableau's predictive analytics capabilities can help forecast property market trends.

Pros

Visualizations can help identify high-performing properties and areas for improvement. Users can build interactive dashboards

Cons

There are different licensing options, and the cost can increase as you add more users or need access to more advanced functionalities.For optimal performance, Tableau may require powerful hardware

### "In the price rang, is the best you can get."

May 19, 2022

3.0

Pros

Connecting and creating dashboards is working good. You can manage users and permission, share and export and use it as a BI Tool. For the price, you won't find better.

Cons

Missing many design options. Filters are hard to use. Adding data to report can be a hussel.

### "Powerful reporting system with tons of customization options"

October 14, 2020

5.0

We utilize this system for all kinds of reporting needs, but those I've been most involved in are reporting on data around the use and adoption of various parts of our product and the top outreach topics we have coming in from clients. Just about every one of our teams benefits from Tableau reports, though!

Pros

There seems to be close to endless customization options when it comes to building reports in Tableau. While I'm not the person building the reports directly, I've worked closely with our Data Team to generate reporting around metrics I'm needing and rarely has there been a time that Tableau's system holds us back. For the many complex options it provides, the UI is amazingly clean and simple to navigate.

Cons

One thing I'm not as crazy about is how there isn't a great way to copy and paste data from a Tableau report when you're just looking at it in their system. In other words, you have to take some sort of action (export, download, etc.) with the data to extract it from the system. There are times where I just need to highlight a couple of rows or specific field in the report view, copy it and paste it elsewhere, but I haven't figured out a way to do that.

### "Collaboration"

September 12, 2023

5.0

Used the product for real-time dashboard creating and reporting.

Pros

Gives real-time data and dashboards, good for team work as the team can access anything that has been building together and by the role-based permissions, it allows you to work with something that can be accessed by both managers and employees.

Cons

Data modeling features does not come with the product, and it would be great if it had it.

### "Tableau"

May 11, 2021

5.0

Tableau is indispensable to my daily tasks, i use it mostly for inventory purposes however if i do need to see things like sales, projections. etc.

Pros

I am very enthusiastic about how simple it is to drill down the data results to a very broad spectrum or a very specific subclass. Additionally, it's very user friendly to create specific views for things like inventory, site engagement etc.

Cons

my least favourite feature is actually one that has a fix! When drilling down my data i was getting frustrated with how long the page would freeze/load. Turns out there is a 'pause' button that lets you freeze your view and change the search results. Once you unpause there's still a loading time, but it's all at once, not everytime you click or unclick something.

### "Powerful Analytics Tool"

May 15, 2019

4.0

Overall it's a powerful reporting and analytics tool that offers great versatility.

Pros

Lots of functionality is available. Data can be sliced and presented in powerful visuals. It's also easy to share reports with end users. SQL table linking is a fairly easy process.

Cons

Takes some expertise and experience to build reporting. This software would be difficult to use for entry level report developers.

### "My favorite visualization software"

May 26, 2020

5.0

Some individuals were faced with information overload. Tableau use provided real-time, interactive deliverables that provide the most important data that is needed.

Pros

Amazing dashboards and visualizations of the company's data meant that we could create business owner specific reporting that streamlined the relevant information they required. The Interactiveness of the deliverables was a key feature and very impactful.

Cons

Integration was a long process. Getting the "buy-in" from multiple business users with back-end data slowed the roll-out. The training package we were provided was thorough, but there was a steep learning curve for analysts to create an end product.
