Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Procurement Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very powerful tool" December 1, 2023 5.0 We use Tableau as our data vis and reporting tool organisation wide. We pool data into our data lake from various sources and then pull into Tableau to create min-dashboards which track team level KPI's / objectives and then roll up into a organisation wide dashboard. Pros Very powerful tool. We implement organisation wide and that has created consistency in approach and understanding. Very little tech knowledge needed to create a dashboard and if data is not available we have a workflow to the team who can investigate/solve this. Cons I am not a tech person, however when we first adopted we had a real struggle pulling some of our existing data into the tool. We had to amend some of our organisational and system processes to ensure we were able to achieve the outputs we desired from the tool. This was teething pain however and therefore not a prolonged issue. Review Source NW Nsereko W.

Cons Unavailability of iOS and Android mobile apps is the only issue. Review Source MV Maggie V. Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Widely integrated and speedy" June 25, 2024 5.0 Best BI tool out there - super flexible, scalable, securely integrated with most you may need (databricks, alteryx, aws, MATLAB, R etc) and oh my, is it performant! Most dashboards will lag when fed large datasets, not tableau. Allows you to tell your story, quickly and reliably every time. Pros Most impressive points (and ones that make it worth the price tag) are performance and the extensive list of native data connectors and partner ecosystem Cons Not cheap/very accessible to most SMEs. Free version is really good, but limited in some key functionality (e.g. sharing is only available to paid users or you have to share public/create potential issues with data protection) Review Source HA Henri A. Analytics Market Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tableau met la BI à portée de tous ..... ou presque" April 15, 2024 4.0 Nous utilisons Tableau pour le suivi des activités commerciales et pour faire des projections de chiffre d'affaire en fonction des saisonnalités des produits. Les analyses pointues sont effectuées par le marketing pour décider du timing d'introduction de nouvelles gammes. Pros Tableau est l'outil idéal pour mixer, visualiser, analyser dans le but de comprendre le sens caché des données. Les fonctions les plus appréciables sont : les visualisations interactives et les capacité de collaborations sur les résultats d'analyse. Cons La base du produit est accessible à tout utilisateur sans formation préalable., Mais, il faut des notions de statistique pour tirer profit des fonctions d'analyse et de modélisation évolués. Switched from [Qlik Sense](https://www.capterra.com/p/209809/Qlik-Sense/) Tableau est plus intuitif et la roadmap de développement nous a semblé plus innovante que dans le cas de Qlik.

Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tableau Review " June 1, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Tableau is positive. We use it to track daily/weekly/monthly KPIs so these numbers don't have to be pulled every single time we want to look at it. It is fast, reliable, and easy to use. It is also versatile and can easily fit anyone's needs Pros I like tableau is an interactive visualization tool and its UX design is simply and easy to understand. It is a common application so everyone knows how to use it or make visualizations from it, so it saves a lot of training time Cons I feel like what Tableau can do is not very intuitive to people who've not used it before. If someone is not experienced in Tableau it takes them a while to make a well-done dashboard that fit out aesthetic needs Reason for choosing Tableau Tableau is more commonly used across industry and it goes well with other applications we use Review Source JCR Juan Carlos R.
