Supervisor Field Research Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Emphasize granularity of data-driven decisions" June 16, 2025 5.0 Pros The capability of Tableau to join to a variety of information sources and immediately produce layered visualizations is exceedingly powerful. It has enabled me to split big data into trends that would otherwise have remained hidden. Cons The product can not handle very large set of data in real-time, which makes it slow when refreshing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sales Professional User" May 9, 2025 4.0 Pros Very helpful when doing customer account review sessions to pull information. Cons This platform is not the most intuitive in terms of ease of use. Review Source MC Mark C. Area manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tableau user" April 30, 2025 5.0 Overall i would recommend it to your company. Its easy for your team to stay ahead of trends and make business decisions. Pros The fucntionality and fast data dump. Multiple options to download files and how you need them. Cons Can get a bit clunky when there are lots of users using it. Mobile version can use some updating. Review Source CF Céline F. Responsable de comptes Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Très bon outil de suivi" May 14, 2025 5.0 Je m'en sers tous les jours pour suivre certains KPI qui me permettent d'attendre ou non mon objectif mensuel Pros Facilité de lecture Couleur Rapidité de chargement Beaucoup de données au même endroit Cons Le plus gros inconvénient pour moi est que tout est en anglais Review Source JR Janessa R. Product Marketing Manger Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent product, but heavy to load" June 25, 2025 4.0 Excellent data visualization and business intelligence platform with the functionality to set up and share dashboards. Pros Real-time data, Google Analytics integration, Microsoft BI integration, comprehensive dashboard view. Cons Slow platform, not a high uptime, boxy look and feel from a visual design standpoint, and rarely works on screenshare. Review Source AS Anthony S. Analyst Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and visualise data for all our internal stakeholders" February 24, 2025 4.0 Overall been good, quite an easy learning curve when you know how and community provides good support even if customer service doesn't. Pros Easy to use, customise and create dashboards. One of the best pieces of software I've used to visualise data. A one stop shop for our internal stakeholders to monitor items important to them. Handles big amounts of data well. Cons If you're trying to get a lot of data onto a crosstab can become clunky to set up. The Customer Support also isn't great. Review Source Olivia T. Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for Charts and Dashboards" April 27, 2025 5.0 Overall Tableau is a very good software for charts, tables, and dashboards. It was easy for me to import excel files to get started and to finish them quickly. Pros I really like how it's easy to use, most of it is drag-in-drop, which leads to making nice fast charts and tables. Cons There's a little bit of a learning curve to certain things. For example, it took me a while to understand calculated fields as I never noticed the small arrow on the side. Review Source IC Isabella C. Sr. RevOps Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful tool, has learning curve" May 28, 2025 4.0 Powerful tool, has learning curve. It's great if you know how to use it, clunky if you don't. Requires advanced analytics skillsets. Pros Tableau is a very powerful and established BI tool. It is widely used at other companies, meaning that it's relatively to hire analysts who have Tableau experience. Cons Tableau has a steep learning curve, and has been described as "behind" in terms of "next-gen" analytics tools. Other tools are coming out with more intuitive & powerful query abilities as well as AI-based abilities. Review Source Pawan S. Senior Executive Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent tool for visualizing data and making sense of large datasets." January 27, 2025 5.0 My Experience with Tableau is very Positive. Easy to use and Drag Drop features. Number of connecting source available in Tableau like Excel, SQL and etc Pros Great for creating interactive dashboard to share with team. Easy Drag and drop Features in tableau. Connects to multiple data sources like Excel, databases, and cloud platforms. Cons Performance Issue with very large database Review Source IM Ilkin M. Chief Medical Officer Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Made data exploration easier for me" June 2, 2025 4.0 Pros Tableau has taught me I have gaps and opportunities I wouldn’t have noticed in spreadsheets. The visual layers greatly simplify trend analysis, especially in the world of campaign tracking which is full of movement. Cons A downside I’d point out is that it’s not easy to do user permissions across multiple dashboards. When I share visualizations between departments, I did not put in just one step to restrict access. Review Source GJ Guillaume J. Account Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Des suivis facilités" April 25, 2025 5.0 Je suis plutôt satisfait de l'utilisation de Tableau, je l'utilise tous les jours pour le suivi de mes objectifs d'onboarding. Pros L'intégration de tableau dans Sales Force un vrai plus pour les suivis de performances. Cons Il arrive parfois que Tableau soit down, il faut donc attendre le retour en ligne et cela peut être contraignant. Heureusement ce n'est pas souvent. Review Source AM Amy M. Administrator Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tableau for reporting" January 9, 2025 5.0 Really good, easy to use, intuitive and well thought out platform. Pros Easy to pull reports, good layout, report is easy to read. Cons At one point had some issues signing in and quite a long winded process to get support Review Source MH Martin H. Purchasing Analyst Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Multiple types of charts support more ways of analysis" May 27, 2025 5.0 Pros I found that Tableau could seamlessly blend data from different sources. By building meaningful visual stories that had the power to support business questions, it helped me to make data interpretation easier. Cons Exporting reports can sometimes drop formatting details that will need to be manually reconfigured before sharing. Review Source CK Camille K. Executive Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tableau Review" February 19, 2025 5.0 Very positive. This is a great software for data viz! Pros I love how user friendly it is. This is also my favorite software I've used for visualizing data. Cons I would've appreciated a tutorial on how to use Tableau when I first got it. There's a lot of features I would have loved to know about sooner! Switched from [Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/) Tableau was much more user friendly, and great for collaboration Review Source Steven P. Vice President, Customer Success Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Tableau - Powerful but Complicated" January 8, 2025 4.0 Overall I'm impressed with the power of Tableau to analyze massive data sets and present them in a visually appealing manner. I am non-technical, so I did have some trouble in live-connecting to a data source. Pros I like how powerful it is in creating dashboards that leverage very large datasets. Cons It can be a bit cumbersome for non-technical folks. In particular, I had a challenge connecting my data source (in a live sort of way) to my dashboard. Switched from [Looker](https://www.capterra.com/p/169053/Looker/) Looker was too slow and also crashed with extremely large datasets.

Master's Student E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Favorite reporting tool" February 11, 2025 5.0 I learned to use this software during my Bachelor's degree, and fell in love with it ever since. I have tried several alternatives since then, but Tableau is so far the most premium and suitable one for me. Pros Sleek design, flexible reporting, intuitive UI, great community and library. Cons Limited access for students, I wish they can provide a program of which students/university students can verify their eligibility so that they can use it. Review Source VC Vince C. growth Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good data visualization but slow" December 23, 2024 4.0 Pros A lot of customizations for data visualization Cons It can be slow to load and no company ive worked with seems to optimize dashboards Review Source ES Eudoria S.
