### "Aggressive onboarding, false statements. Not customer-oriented."

August 31, 2020

1.0

We were on 30 days trial. The trial was about to expire but things didn't work correctly. Tableaus aggressive onboarding team made me sign for a one-year contract anyway. They promised to support us until everything works. But that did not happen. So I talked to them. Someone seemed to understand and said, he'd cancel the invoice and give us another trial and hopes, thins will work. After a few months, it worked indeed. So we purchased again. But: we never got a license even we already paid. Statement: the old invoice needs to be paid. So although we have a written confirmation, that the invoice is cancelled, tableau didn't cancel and now we have no money and no license. Very sad company. The product might be great but the philosophy horrible.

Pros

Once you have your data ready in a way, tableau is able to connect, it's an easy to use tool.

Cons

There's supposed to be a web data connector between Filemaker and tableau. This is not working. Tableau sales representative do not care about it.

### "Great product"

July 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

I really like how Tableau continues to adapt and change their product continuously. It enables a normal person be able to do data profiling and visualization easily. In addition, Ask Data is amazing tool to help business folks build visualization

Cons

Data modelling can take a lot of time. They query and returns it line by line so big queries can take a while.

### "The best tool for analyzing your company's data."

October 22, 2018

4.0

The experience with Tableau has been very good since it adapts very well in the company because we have large amounts of information and data, which we need to have organized when presenting them, it is a Business Intelligence platform that grows at enormous speed, it is very easy to use and understand by everyone in the company.

Pros

Tableau helps me to join several databases, I can combine data from different sources, such as Excel and Oracle among many others, the analysis of data is faster and more reliable, what I like the most are the presentations we made with the Dashboards and that we can show what is really needed and required, I can visualize it on any computer and mobile devices and tablets and share it with a link with all the co-workers.

Cons

Sometimes when I make the changes it gives me an error and it does not allow me to make the changes and the application can be a bit slow.

### "Amazing Tool of Data Analysis and visualisation"

November 2, 2022

5.0

Pros

Used a lot of time in the company for data Analysis and found useful insights through the Charts and Data Sheet. The best part of the tool is we can find some pre-templates as well as third-party templates for creating Dashboard for our projects. Our E-commerce company always looking for some marketing insights that will help us in boosting sales. It has integration with almost every application we use in our company. The UI and Dashboard are good, which makes the software more fun to work with.

Cons

Didn't find the most dislikes, but I didn't find the integration of Tableau with Google Analytics or Google Ads. There are some third-party plugins, but they are unreliable and untrustworthiness.

### "Great for Data Visualization!"

August 4, 2021

5.0

Pros

Tableau is a great software for those who deal with data analysis/visualization. The software is consistently being updated and is very easy to update with each new update. The types of data sources that can be used include a wide range from excel spreadsheets, google drive, SQL, etc. The software enables you to create a wide range of visualizations and calculations.

Cons

As someone who did not originally deal with datasources or data visualization, I found the software to be slightly complex to learn, not very intuitive. Took me a while to get used to the software and I still constantly refer to tableau documentation but the software is very complete and great way to prepare and share information with others in the company.

### "Easy, intuitive and quick data visualizations."

March 2, 2018

5.0

This has become a go-to reporting solution for our team.

Pros

Tableau is a very intuitive data visualization tool. We use both the desktop version, for report development, and Tableau server for publishing reports for our staff. The tool is very flexible when it comes to data connections - you can connect to almost anything. The interface is very clean and once you get the hang of dimensions and measures you will be on your way to becoming a data viz master. Tableau has come along way with their ability to join data sources. This has been a major area of improvement in the last release. Tableau has a huge online support community and the few times I have had to use their customer support it was exceptional.

Cons

There are times I wish you could do more statistical analysis in Tableau. They have some built in components for this, but in my opinion this is one of the weaker areas of the tool.

June 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

Fast, integrates with virtually any data source, plenty of functionality and very flexible. The Server allows for easy sharing and collaboration.

Cons

Some integration could be worked on and improved, especially the R integration, which at the moment is not as functional as it could be to be used proficiently.

5.0

We can easily visualize how our company is doing and what direction and product lines that we want to put a focus on.

Pros

The ease of use for the majority of the functionality has been great. End users have been able to use it and manipulate the data very easily and takes a load off of us administrators.

Cons

Some of the features like formatting and page layout aren't always the easiest to setup. There is a lot of guess and trial and error with trying to get the formatting just right.

### "Great tool to give you insights into your business"

July 25, 2018

5.0

I learned who our customers are and how we can better serve them.

Pros

No code required to build dashboards. You can create calculated fields but tableau is really good about guiding you in building the formula.

Cons

It's hard to come up with something that I do not like. I continue to find new ways of working with Tableau.

### "Allows for the creation of very aesthetically pleasing, yet useful dashboards for your stakeholders."

June 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau is a very effective way to gather, analyze, and present data to stakeholders. As a user, there are many options database options that Tableau can read from. Tableau offers many different types of graphs and visualization techniques. There are even formulas that allow for data manipulation within Tableau that is not reflected in the original source. Tableau is also so widely used that finding educational materials on the internet ie YouTube and forums is very simple. Once a user has a basic understanding, creating professional dashboards that can be presented to the end user is quick and simple.

Cons

Though Tableau has copious options, features, bells, and whistles, it takes some getting used to. The program is user friendly, but setting aside some time to learn how to effectively use the features is strongly recommended.

### "Fast data views and analysis"

October 13, 2020

5.0

Being able to see data quickly and share it amongst many team members has been great.

Pros

The speed in which data can be shown is incredibly quick. You can toggle between views and different data sets at a very fast pace, it works far quicker than anything else I've used.

Cons

It isn't the prettiest of UI's and I'd say that it isn't hugely intuiative for someone to use out of the box, regardless of your profeciency with software. You do really need some training to get the most out of the product.

### "Tableau- Data Visual Aid."

April 3, 2022

4.0

Tableau is one of the best visual tools that aid data-driven decision making.

Pros

It helps to reinforce understanding and provides a vivid picture to support data-driven decision making.

Cons

It's expensive; requires training and constant application. It will serve well also, if it can be integrated with Artificial intelligence.

### "Good for pulling data from multiple sources"

December 18, 2019

4.0

If you need standard reporting that's coming from one source, this isn't the tool for you. But if you need complex reports pulling from multiple platforms to make your business decisions, it's preferable to building complex excel reports - and the ability to limit access to who gets what report (and ensure people aren't accidentally changing your reports) is a good thing.

Pros

I like the tool's ability to pull data from multiple sources to build custom reports. The possibilities for how to view your data really are endless.

Cons

Navigation throughout the product could be smoother. Sometimes it's not intuitive - I used it for a year before I realized I had to click in the report before it would allow me to download more than a PDF or image. I currently have a report that's giving me bad data and I don't know enough to troubleshoot it - not sure if the fault lies with the tool or the people who built the report.

### "A complete BI tool"

June 19, 2019

4.0

A complete BI tool, which gives us an incredible facility to set up dashboards that support business areas and decision making.

Pros

The easy integration and import of databases of different languages ​​and servers.

Cons

The policy of individual licenses and high cost is something that decreases the attractiveness of the tool.

### "A Much Better Way to Manage Data Than Spreadsheets"

August 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I really like the functionality that allows me to subscribe to reports and be updated continually with new data. For the most part, everything is very responsive and easy to view and understand. Filtering data is super easy and makes diving into large chunks of data manageable.

Cons

I wish there was an easier way to have reports automatically emailed to you daily rather than just subscribing to the view. Also, navigating through workbooks and different views can be a mess if you aren't careful with how you add data. Having too many people working on different projects can get messy real fast.

March 5, 2020

4.0

I am a regular user and consumer if this tool. I would definitely say it made my life easy with data. I enjoy the flexibility it allows in terms of calculations. It's amazing from data visualization purpose.

Pros

I love how the tool allows you to quickly get the data from any kind of source and allows you to manipulate data and put it out as story in the form of dashboard. It's a very user friendly tool.

Cons

Sometimes it works slow on billions of rows, even if it is on extract. The ask data function still needs more development.
