### "Tableau review"

October 27, 2019

4.0

We embed tableau graphics in our webpages as a part of our analytic data points. We circulate the health care costs, quality and information via online articles , printed journals to the consumers. For these products tableau is used a lot for building various kind of graphics especially heat maps

Pros

The dynamic graphics in tableau can be made with drag and drop with the need for coding expertise. For advanced users they can integrate Tableau with R , python etc and make most customized graphics.The parameters and pages features are best, i feel based on my use.

Cons

Tableau does not let us create dashed lines for line graphs and its very irritating because some times I would need another element apart from colors to differentiate groups on the line graph and tableau has very little advancement here. Another area is the tableau maps.we cannot really use user supplied addresses and lat/long coordinates together. If the features are made something similar to GIS it will be great

Reason for choosing Tableau

Becuase if the tableau public feature where we can post our graphics and redirect our viewers here

### "Quickly able to produce visual analytics from our SQL database"

February 15, 2018

5.0

We now do not have to create daily spreadsheets and send out reports to our customers. All the data is visible using Tableau and they can logon and run their data whenever and however often they choose.

Pros

How easy it is to configure dashboards using our data. The many options for scheduling instead of real time is great as well.

Cons

When you create multiple dashboards under one logon it is cumbersome to get to the main pages you want to view after logging in.

### "The best reporting and data visualization tool"

February 23, 2023

5.0

Wonderful and impressed

Pros

Ease of access, smooth integration with other tools, dashboard view.

Cons

Not a free tool but the desktop version is not bad to try your hands on.

Since Tableau is an industry renowned tool so wanted to use it since I have been using Power BI for sometime.

4.0

### "Best tool for data management and visualisation"

April 10, 2021

5.0

It is a really best way to see and manage data and track company performance.

Pros

As a strategic planner, ı need to manage and analyse lots of data. Tableau enables us -via its integration with company's data sources" collect data in a hassle free way and analyse and visualise. Its very time saving.

Cons

Price is a bit higher. Filtering might takes a long time sometimes. (But ı might be related with our data sources ı am not sure)

### "Stunning software, just a great experience"

April 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love the ease of connecting to a data source and flying through creating great visual reports, it is a deep software that can do so much more but it doesn't have to be at all times and I love that. I have created super simple reports, and I've also connected to many sources and made more complex and Tableau handles both with ease.

Cons

It can be a bit overwhelming when you first jump in, its like giving keys to a car to a 6 year old they may be excited but have no clue what's happening ha ha. Once you get somewhat familiar (thanks to a ton of internet resources), it becomes quite simple to use.

### "One Stop Reports Shop"

July 28, 2021

4.0

Overall, this is a great product when speaking of complex reports and wanting a lot of data analyzed. However, if you're looking for speed, this is not the product for you.

Pros

I like that I can easily access data filled reports in one location and they are easy to read. It has the capability of holding multiple reports, all packed with various categories of information

Cons

I don't like how "bulky" it is. This program does use computer memory and can be slow to open and get started.

### "Awesome Visualizations, Few Quirks"

May 14, 2019

5.0

I love using tableau, I just wish the calculation features were a bit better, but at its core tableau is really a visualization software, not a BI tool.

Pros

Tableau is a fantastic software for data visualization. It makes producing graphs intuitive and easy. The interface is well-laid out so even an inexperienced user/analyst can make useful visualizations with little to no training.

Cons

Making decent visualizations is easy, performing the extra formatting to make amazing visualizations is tedious. The advanced formatting options in tableau aren't super intuitive, so it takes some serious leg work to make really pretty graphs. Additionally, tableau has a weird quirk where it won't allow you to compare aggregate and non-aggregate values in its calculations, which makes normalizing or benchmarking data a pain in the butt.

### "The "

May 30, 2019

5.0

Its philosophy "see and explore" changed the way we use large amount of data in our proccess of decisions.

Pros

Tableau definitely helped our company developing a proccess to use relevant data in the important decisions. It has a flat learnig curve that make it easy from business people with little/no previous experience with complex data analysis use it and produce some useful insights, from day 1. Another point to mention is the ease of implementation, it can be purchased as a subscription( or a lifetime license) at a first moment and then hosted on cloud or at the local server.

Cons

One of the few points it worth mentioning as con: the cost. It offers way more features and resources than its main competitor but its price is up to 6x higher, which make it not so attractive to small or medium-sized companies

### "Visualizing data made easy"

April 22, 2022

4.0

Pros

Tableau has allowed more members of our campus to engage with our data in ways that they haven't been able to before. We are able to dig deep in areas where we want to look further or we can stay at surface level data easily with the various options in Tableau.

Cons

If you have large data sets, it can take a while for the visualizations and dashboards to load, initially and each time you try to select another way to look at the data. So depending on how many ways you want to slice and dice your data, this can take a while.

### "Tableau + SQL = Everything You Need for Data Analysis"

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I'm a huge fan and advocate of Tableau's product offerings. Having used it for several years now I would never go back to Excel for data visualization. I love the ability to quickly render data and provide different views that our easily filtered and which are also connected to multiple data sources.

Cons

It takes a little bit of time to learn up on the product initially. We actually did a training onsite with one of their regional folks which gave me a lot of useful hints and tips. I was also able to learn a lot though by buying a Tableau 9 book and running through it really quick.

### "Complicated but extremely powerful software"

April 3, 2019

5.0

Solid, solid tool for data manipulation and visualization!

Pros

I love the visualization features as well as the ability to pivot data in so many useful ways. It also plugs in to all of our systems and allows us to cross tabulate data and see what impact we are having as marketers.

Cons

The UI isn't very intuitive and could use some modernization so that less advanced folks using it can navigate around easier.

### "Tableau is the best data visualization tool available and is quite affordable. "

September 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

The fact that Tableau makes it simple to import spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel as raw data, which can then be converted into fantastic visualisations using Tableau's strong features, is something I like because my company mainly relies on Excel to first record and store data. I like that Tableau enables you to aggregate data from several sources and work on them jointly. Report scheduling, which automatically updates reports each day, is one tool I find most useful. This enables me to simply track important indicators and automate a repetitive activity that I would have had to spend time on every day.

Cons

When processing larger datasets, Tableau can be incredibly slow. Moreover, even though Tableau offers excellent data visualizations, I assume more statistical functionalities are necessary to get richer, more in-depth insights from data.

### "We use this software to have all the relevant data in a clear and dynamic dashboards."

July 26, 2018

4.0

We save time on data management, on make reports and the powerful benefit is that now we (the client and us) can think about insights, having clear information to detect improvement points.

Pros

The integrations of many sources is one of the most important, also the features and functionalities are key values. If you need a powerfull tool to integrate different soures, to make dynamic graphics and customized dashboards. I recommend it.

Cons

For new users the tool is not very intuitive, maybe other software have better interface. The cost of the licenses also is not the better. Those points I think that are the principals cons.

### "Analyze and Visualize you Data !"

January 4, 2019

5.0

Overall it's a great BI tool to be used to move forward with Data Visualization and Analysis.

Pros

1\. It's a business intelligence tool, it offers a lot of functionalities, one can visualize and analyze data quickly. 2. The look and feel and understand-ability is nice, once you are through with it. With just a simple dashboard a lot can be conveyed. 3. If suppose you want to add in a functionality, and it is not currently available or supported by the platform, then you can write your own script to do the same.

Cons

1\. But to start with, you have to pay quite some amount to avail the service after the free trial. I think that's the only issue if you are not a big organization. 2. You have to first learn on how to use it's functionalities to fullest, then can think of proceeding with it. 3. You must clean the data before you proceed. Also once you make the visualizations public, anyone can access it.

Pros

1\. It is very easy to use, just drag and drop 2. It has a ton of features and customization options 3. You can pretty much find all different kind of graphs to visualize your data.

Cons

1\. It is a little expensive and the pricing is actually license based instead of usage based.

### "Strong analytics, graphical representation and collaboration; Long learning curve"

November 20, 2018

4.0

Definitely recommend this product as it has a very consistent support, feature and patching stream, but would recommend taking some kind of course that specifically works with this product to ensure fully functional capability.

Pros

The ability to generate graphical representations of almost any data set is much more intuitive than the standard office product can produce. Chart tracking and collaborative capabilities allow for even the most geographically diverse teams to remain on target with the appropriate tools at their disposal. Charting and workflow development is straight forward and easy to track. Great training and learning aids if you license the product.

Cons

Definitely for the true project management professional with an existing background in PMP. The standard text based product user, or beginning level professional would find some challenges with this tool do the precise nature of the application and its functionality. Can be bulky and resource intensive for the small organization hardware set.

### "Dashboard"

December 5, 2018

5.0

I use tableau to create dashboards. There is an interface between Tableau and a metric's report tool, so the information that is entered is that tool is then reflected in tableau. There, I created some dashboards to see the result of the metrics (number and color \[red, green or grey\]). After all metrics have been reported, the dashboard can be exported in different formats.

Pros

Can be connected with any software through an interface. You can create any dashboard from scratch, write the formulas, the logic you want the software to use in order to see the expected result. You can see the information in many different ways, depending on the type of dashboard you choose.

Cons

If you want to build a dashboard from scratch, you will need an expert who understand how to write formulas. The support it is not good enough
