### "Great tool, but complex"

August 13, 2019

3.0

Pros

Tableau allows you to combine a ton of data into digestible charts.

Cons

Too complex to use compared to other tools. Should focus on making it more intuitive so that experienced people aren't needed to create more complex graphs.

### "A new era of Data Management"

December 14, 2018

5.0

I have used both Tableau and Domo, and much prefer Tableau both for the user interface, ease of use, and raw processing power.

Pros

The aggregation of data, and pure raw functionality of the platform. In the era of cloud-based platforms, the ability to combine multiple data sets into one is invaluable. Having systems talk to each other and share data is critical in this day and age. Tableau does that and more.

Cons

High learning curve with some gatekeeping of information (Tableau certifications, conference learnings, etc.), and license based pricing. Can be buggy sometimes depending on your datasets.

### "Great data visualization tool"

November 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

Tableau is very user-friendly: it let's you play with the data visualization easily, arranging and connecting everything without needing to be a computer genius. It can also handle large amounts of data.

Cons

It can take a bit of time to learn the more advanced techniques/tricks to get most out of the tool.

### "It enables the processing of data from several sources."

September 30, 2022

4.0

I use it every day during the work process, and so far I haven't found anything better.

Pros

What I like about it is that Tableau prep is more efficient as it drastically reduces data processing work. You can use the processed data for other analyzes outside of Tableau Dashboard.

Cons

Selecting features during the preparation of visual analytics is very cumbersome for me. Once I learn how to work with it, it becomes straightforward to work in.

### "Best software for Business Intelligence and Data Analytics"

August 31, 2018

5.0

Great real time data visualization tool which can give you business insights. Helps in communicating those insights to superiors for faster decision making.

Pros

1\. Provides amazing visualizations of data in a way you want it to be shown to others. 2. Drag and drop option for data plotting is the best feature in this software. 3. Can collate data from Excel spreadsheets, SQL Databases, MS Access, PDFs etc. 4. Widely used in the industry. So its easier to extract and transfer data among various users. 5. Available as a free version (limited features) and as a premium version for individual analysts and as well for the entire Business Intelligence team.

Cons

1\. Not intuitive to use the software. Probably need to go through the tutorials to learn how to use it. 2. Some statistical analyses aren't available in this software. Wish they provide more of these features to the user. 3. Processing large data might take a lot of time. Sometimes PC hangs too.

### "Tableau is a must for anyone working with data."

April 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau is a great product with a feature set that easily rivals that of of competitors. If customers are willing to eat its learning curve, then Tableau can almost certainly fulfill any data analytics need. And, if the company evolves its UI in the future, then there's every chance it might regain its solo position as king of self-serve BI. It is easy, full featured software to do data analyses.

Cons

There is a learning curve involved. A new Tableau Software user will need to spend time learning how to use the software. But it is so worth the learning curve because then it becomes easy and flexible to use

### "Go for it if you are a mature company after the perfect dashboard. Don't go for it otherwise"

January 30, 2019

5.0

Reporting

Pros

You can create some magnificent dashboards

Cons

It has a ridiculously steep learning and development curve. Ideal for mature companies that have a complete view on reporting needs which do not change fast and are willing to hire designated personel but a potential nightmare for small teams with analysts that juggle too many. Also it comes with an archaic pricing model

### "Great Visualization Tool"

December 27, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with Tableau as a visualizing tool has been positive. Its main flaw is that most of the endusers of my work with it do not usually have the ability to access all dashboards. Permissions can be difficult to manage and navigate.

Pros

I like the intuitive usage of the time stamp feature, automatically giving you month, quarter, and day of the week. The ease of manipulation through grouping and calculated fields is also a huge advantage.

Cons

I dislike how it can be difficult to give end users access to the live updating dashboards that we do make through the software.

### "Amazing Analytics Tool"

October 24, 2019

5.0

Overall, Tableau has been a huge benefit to my company. We use Tableau to do different kinds of data analysis and to display data to our customers. It is easy to use and has a lot of great features.

Pros

Tableau is an amazing data analytics tool. There are so many cool features. You can do multiple kinds of data analysis and make multiple kinds of charts and dashboards. It makes it easy for customers to view and understand data. Managing permissions is easy. It is easy to learn how to use and there are a lot of online help forums.

Cons

There are not a lot of statistical tools in Tableau. It would be nice if there were built-in statistical tools.

### "An interesting way to present executive information."

March 17, 2022

5.0

Thanks to the software, our department was able to automate reports to senior management, generating indicators that could make better decisions.

Pros

It allows you to feed the information from an external source, even automating it so that your reports are generated automatically.

Cons

It is a bit complicated to design if you don't have programming logic, however if you have programmed before and can design a correct flow it will be a great tool.

### "Nice visualization of data"

December 7, 2019

4.0

Overall I like Tableau but wish it was a little more inviting to those without a lot of excel experience.

Pros

Tableau makes nice visualizations of data and with APIs can be set up to import data from a lot of resources. This isn't something that can be used if you do not have at least an intermediate understanding of excel and such programs as it is a little advanced. With that being said if you have experience it is fairly easy to set up. There are a lot of tutorials that you can find across the internet to help you set things up.

Cons

Its not really user friendly for beginners of excel and other programs like that but if you have experience you can pick it up easily. You do sometimes need SQL or programming language to set up.

### "One of the best visualization tools out there"

January 8, 2019

5.0

The most important questions in business aren't always the most intuitive to ask. With Tableau, it's easy to see your data and ask questions that no one else is asking. And that's a great way to have a leg up in an industry.

Pros

The ease of making great visualizations.

Cons

Not always the most intuitive program, there can be a significant learning curve to do tasks that would be considered "easy" in something like Excel.

### "New data tools"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Solid and improving. The more I utilize the tool, the more useful the software becomes.

Pros

The options for customizing reports seems endless. If you can dream it, you can probably built it in tableau.

Cons

There is a bit of learning curve. This is related to both generating reports and the user interface. It took a few weeks for some of our users to become comfortable with the software.

### "Tableau is beneficial for gathering and visualizing data"

August 29, 2022

5.0

I have had a very positive experience with Tableau. My team has used it for a lot of project planning and it's really helped us gather data and guide the direction that we take our work and where we put our focus based on the data we have on our customer needs.

Pros

I think Tableau provides a lot of benefit in visualizing and reading data. It has a lot of helpful capabilities through the charting offerings to view data over time and make plans for the future. It is a powerful software tool with a lot of potential to move work forward for teams that use it.

Cons

I think Tableau can be difficult to use at first, it isn't the most intuitive product and thus requires time and guidance to navigate.

### "Tableau "

April 18, 2020

4.0

Overall a strong experience with the system and it's a software that serves it's purpose though there does seem to be a lack of software updates/capability updates.

Pros

The interactive interface is easy to manipulate once information is ingested into the program as long as the data is following the rules-based parameters that you've set up. The labelling of data enables an easy story to be compiled when sent around to internal stakeholders.

Cons

There is a lack of diversity and modelling that can happen as the system is not used to cross-data sourced systems. The speed of the system can be slow. Not to mention there is a lack of plugins or API into other systems.

### "Fun and nicely challenging"

June 12, 2018

5.0

Ease to display data and make it digestible to people that have never worked with data.

Pros

I like how Tableau makes it easy to analyse and understand data through its visualization options, it's also fun and when I say challenging I mean that before discovering Tableau, I wasn't too sure I would be able to analyse data quantitatively, but Tableau by challenging me, as not a quantitative data person, made me really like data visualization!

Cons

Sometimes Tableau is not as intuitive as I wish it was, so sometimes it does take me a day to figure out something, it's usually related to how I organize my data, but still I wish it was a little more flexible, especially when it comes to what type of chart I would want to use.

### "Excellent and straightforward data visualization tool"

December 10, 2022

4.0

use simplicity Simple accessibility to the trial. there are no limitations on data storage.

Pros

There are other features that many people would have liked, including: 1. Access to nearly all databases 2. A variety of charts, such as Sankey, Doughnut, and map charts, can be made. 3. It has the capability of data extraction and combining. 4. Dashboards can be seen on a variety of devices, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones. 5. Drilling down or filtering out of any dashboard is incredibly quick.

Cons

The lack of a spell check in the software bothers me, and I believe it should be added by 2022. I also dislike having to search the Tableau user forums for answers to platform-specific problems. The faults are frequently so broad that it is challenging to determine what needs to be addressed.

### "Tableau Data Visualizations Review"

June 23, 2021

5.0

It has been nice to see how I can use Tableau to beef up my presentations and create ways in which people can understand analytics more easily.

Pros

It is very easy to synthesize and display the content that I want to present. It looks far more professional than just using an excel sheet.

Cons

It is not as intuitive as one might hope. however, there are ample training courses out there that help with figuring out how to use the software.
