### "Tableau Desktop is one stop shop for visual analytics"

July 15, 2020

5.0

Tableau prep can be used to modify the data files and with Tableau, desktop helps us create effective data visualizations with the flexibility to adjust the display options, share in the community forums by connecting with Tableau Public account. It's a great tool for data exploration and visualizations which helps to share data insights to solve complex business problems.

Pros

Tableau Desktop drag and drop and show me features that make it extremely user friendly for the beginners. Tableau offers the connectivity to multiple file types like CSV, Excel, Geospatial files, etc. and makes it super convenient to import various files, connect to various data sources and databases. User can create a visually appealing chart, reports, dashboard, and story and share it(packaged workbooks) with anyone even with those who do not have tableau desktop installed on their system using Tableau reader

Cons

Although Tableau offers the auto-save function to save the files-in use, but other recover options should be reconsidered to recover the files(if lost accidentally).

### "Powerful programme if you can eat the cost"

August 21, 2023

5.0

I have used Tableau to create stunning, interactive data visualisations. It's also a well known brand so it has been helpful to have in my researcher portfolio.

Pros

Tableau has dynamic, varied, interesting, nuanced, eye-catching dashboard creation capabilities. There is so much you can do with Tableau creatively.

Cons

It has its limitations. There is no donut chart feature so you have to create one by layer pie charts. Resizing components can be very counterintuitive. The programme has been known to crash. And it can be very expensive.

### "Data visualized beautifully"

December 11, 2018

5.0

We have been using Tableau at my work for a couple of years now. It's a very powerful tool in terms of showing data in a wide variety ways. Custom views are great, and can easily be shared within the organization.

Pros

Customizable views Data can be visualized im any different ways Export to excel for further processing of the data

Cons

It's not so easy to share the reports with partners in a format they can work with. Auto time out of session makes the view return to default settings.

### "Great BI platform for traditionally non-technical users"

November 29, 2018

4.0

Overall we're happy with our Tableau purchase. We've found that for our more technical employees, it's often easier for them to create analyses and visualizations using python notebooks or Shiny apps in R, but for our non-technical staff, it's a great tool for turning data into valuable, actionable business insights.

Pros

Tableau's strongest attribute is how easy it is for non-technical users to get up-and-running quickly. Tableau provides a wide array of data connectors that make it easy for a non-technical user to get their data into Tableau and start creating good-looking charts and analyses quickly.

Cons

Tableau's focus on making the platform easy to use can sometimes result in challenges for those who DO have a stronger technical skillset. For example, users who have a solid understanding of SQL and how to manipulate data in relational databases using the natural query language might find it frustrating to have to re-learn Tableau's features and nomenclature for "merging" or "blending" data together from different database tables.

### "A+ Data Visualization Tool for Customers"

February 12, 2019

4.0

Pros

The ability to make visualizations accessible via web portal to customers.

Cons

Development is often a hassle; there are many features that have been requested over the past 2 years that still have not made it into production. One example of this is multiple selection parameters.

### "The overall BI Software"

April 25, 2019

5.0

Overall experience has been great, we have it integrated into Salesforce as well.

Pros

Tableau is very easy to use from all levels. The ability to load in excel file and google sheets is amazing. The ability to drag and drop to create fast reports and charts. You can also publish your dashboards online and send them to execs. Tableau also has the ability to connect to SFDC and can create custom data tables from there. The best for cost

Cons

Tableau is fast and easy to use, but I wish that they could spend some more time on updating how some of graphs and bar chart looks. Competitors are winning tableau by how their charts and tables look.

### "Perfect tool for Data Visualization!!!"

December 13, 2022

4.0

Overall, it is a great product with remarkable capabilities and use for data analytics and business intelligence. Easy to use, integrate, import, and visualize data. A must use tool in every organization!

Pros

I mostly use this tool for plotting points while creating hotspot maps in it. It is very easy and helpful. It reduces my work time and helps me create effective data visualization maps. It is also mobile friendly and easy to use. Its visualization capabilities are really huge and efficient.

Cons

It is expensive and automatic refresh report option is not available in Tableau. SQL knowledge is required to create queries.

### "Tableau is the best software for visualize our data."

May 25, 2019

4.0

Pros

The software is the best software to visualize our data in the form of a graph or table. We can integrate a big query in the tableau.

Cons

There are too many features available in the software which we supposed to spend some time to understand all these features.

### "Tableau"

September 21, 2022

3.0

Overall I do not miss using Tableau. It had a lot of features and add-ons that you could use but many of them served in a limited capacity.

Pros

Honestly, the KPI management was the main thing we used Tableau for and it worked well but the system had many bugs and issues. The data that it put together once it was going was beautiful but the time and energy to get it to that place was tricky.

Cons

The system was so easy to break or go down. Anytime we integrated a new data plug it would always take a while to populate the data etc.

### "Best Data Visualization Software - Bar None"

January 7, 2019

5.0

We have automated all our financial reports into dashboards for executive presentation with a push of a couple buttons.

Pros

Not only are the visuals you can create with Tableau absolutely beautiful, but I am continually impressed with the user interface while creating and designing. Tableau makes publishing and sharing your viz’s across multiple platform super easy - even on mobile they come across clean coherent and error free! They product team continues to roll out great new features to keep it fresh and useful

Cons

Even though I believe the software is worth every single penny, it is on the higher end of the spectrum for the industry.

### "Powerful tool, but not great for end-users to consume data"

December 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

Tableau is a very powerful tool that allows our trained Data Analysts to take raw data and visualize it in the right ways. It has both Desktop and Web versions and our team analyzes millions of rows of data using it.

Cons

Tableau is great for a trained Data Analyst that knows SQL and can merge tables, etc., but for common end users it is difficult to consume data on a regular basis.

### "Good analyzing tool"

February 7, 2019

4.0

I'm using this software to monitor transactions and it does a good job in providing a bigger picture of where funds are going

Pros

It's clean and easy to use. I find it most useful when I can put in data and see some of their features such as where funds are flowing in and out of which countries.

Cons

Not sure why but it lags sometimes and it's not as responsive as I hope it would be. But I can live with that given that it's still a very good software.

### "One of the most complete programs for conducting Business Intelligence"

May 12, 2018

5.0

But it is a very easy to use program, with many tools, many options to customize all types of visualizations, you can perform calculations within the same interface of the program, it is a tool with a lot of potential, which is constantly updated

Pros

It is a very versatile program, it allows you to make different presentations, from simple graphics to multivariate maps. It has the possibility to connect to different databases, which makes it a very powerful tool.

Cons

sometimes it is difficult to understand the location of the variables to achieve the visualization that is desired; On the other hand, sometimes map-type visualizations do not present as many details as one would like, or the union of several spatial-type files causes the program to occupy a lot of RAM, so it is necessary to have a good computer to improve the conditions of program operation

My overall experience with Tableau is positive. It provides a means to collect and present data in a professional fashion as well as review KPIs for our team's performance.

Pros

What I like most about Tableau is the ability to design reports for data collection and for tracking our team's KPIs.

Cons

We had a little trouble with logging in initially, but I believe it was something that was reviewed and corrected on our side.

Pros

It does have nice functionality and you can display your data several different ways that helps with bringing the important analytics to the client's attention

### "Powerful BI Tool"

August 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

I've used Tableau in the reviewer/read only mode for a number of years. I haven't learned how to create dashboards at this point, so the review will be only for read mode. The greatest part about Tableau is how quickly it can produce tables and charts with incredible amount of data. I use Tableau for healthcare reporting so our datasets have millions and millions of entries. It's great to be able to cut and slice the data how you'd like to produce the charts that are unique and specific to my site.

Cons

As discussed, the ability to create specific reports is great, however sometimes it's hard to then get it out of Tableau. I'm often stuck with just snipping the page and pasting in an email. I wish the sharing tools were more robust. I also wish the Subscribe options were better. Currently there is just a list of a bunch of different options, but there doesn't seem to be a great way to create custom schedules to receive emails of reports.

### "Solid BI program"

August 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

Tableau offers very expansive data tools that can convert or import most data types into visual diagrams with the click of a bottom. It’s great for firms looking to better handle raw data as the software can integrate basically any format to your liking. It allows you to file and store data much more nicely than other programs too. For being a complex software, Tableau is rather easy to understand and adapt to as well.

Cons

Like other data softwares, it can be expensive for some firms or feel unnecessary if not utilized frequently. The other problematic area depends on the version you use. Some functions are not available on certain levels.
