### "Clean and great looking software"

February 27, 2020

5.0

Pros

The results that Tableau can create are stunning and very helpful. I have used it on a few jobs and have enjoyed it each time. I have used competitor software, and by far Tableau has been the most enjoyable.

Cons

There is a learning curve when using the software for the first time. However, Tableau has a lot of tutorial videos, which have been very helpful.

### "My favorite data visualization software"

August 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

What can I say? I love playing with data, and recently got an official Tableau license through my job. I am pretty proficient at making graphs and pivot tables in Excel, but Tableau lets me take this to a whole new level, and it's pretty to boot! There are so many things I can do now that were difficult (or impossible) to do in Excel - compare geographic locations, color records based on an infinite number of different criteria, and I love the ability to export these to PDF so that those who don't want to fiddle with Tableau Reader can still see the data. I am so looking forward to increasing my Tableau skills and being able to do even more with the software.

Cons

The learning curve is pretty steep - but Tableau does provide a lot of training videos and help documents, so I've usually been able to poke around until I can do what I wanted to do.

### "Testing of Tableau in order to generate production dashboards from raw data"

September 27, 2019

4.0

Tableau is a quite good BI tool for data analysis & rendering into pre-designed dashboards An alternative to Business Objects & Power BI

Pros

Easy to implement Quite intuitive usage Several source formats of data available enabling to plug various databases Templates of reports cover several business needs

Cons

Difficult to unlock the SQL native mode in requests Conceptual models of data are deduced from databases models (sometimes not fully sticking to reality)

### "Everyone can be a data specilist"

February 21, 2023

5.0

I was a wiz with excel but with the smooth operation of the Tableau system, I foresee a long and promising career as an analyst. Just can't wait for Tableau 2.0 to take me to the next level.

Pros

The ability to automate data processes is a plus but with Tableau software, I was also able to analyze, explore and collaborate with that data. This program saved me time in completing my duties and saved the company money and manhours in analyzing these processes. It has definitely closed the gap when it comes to how we use and manage raw data to provide growth insight into our company operations

Cons

Honestly, I am yet to notice anything that I do not like about Tableau.

### "Tableau for creating complex dashboards"

September 15, 2022

5.0

Great tool for solving data related problems

Pros

Tableau provides a lot of features to create complex dashboards for analytics and reporting purposes. It has a pleasant UI and the documentation is really extensive. There is also a lot of functionalities around data preparation and collection.

Cons

It is quite challenging to understand all of the features as it seems to be a very technical tool - some of the features are hard to understand for people with no analytical background

July 18, 2019

4.0

Pros

Ease of use Its so efficient and reduces the most of man work when it comes to data analysis and visualization

Cons

### "Perfect tool for data visualization"

September 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

We used tableau for data visualisation and for monitoring our daily KPIs. The integrations work like a charm with Tableau and it's allows us to only go to one platform to check product performance and also to see how business is doing. Very easy to create custom reports as well for quick data analysis.

Cons

Very rarely you find some perfect products, in my view, Tableau is one of them.

### "Visualize your data in an easy way"

July 17, 2023

5.0

Pros

I had the opportunity to use Tableau for data visualization (mainly building dashboards) and data analysis. Overall it was a highly positive experience. Tableau offered a great intro training, and the 'Tableau community' is a great way to find solutions for specific problems. Large library is available to gather ideas for dashboards.

Cons

No show stoppers here, I was able to solve / workaround all problems faced.

### "Tableau is a great visualization tool for users who are inexperienced using code (i.e. R) to plot."

July 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to use the drag and drop interface, as it makes it super easy to quickly get a new plot up and running to conceptualize a new idea.

Cons

I dislike the price (it's a little over priced for what you get) and the online documentation that Tableau has provided, BUT the online forums for Tableau are very informative and extensive.

### "Tableau Review"

February 11, 2021

4.0

Overall it is a great start and an amazing tool that provides the insight needed for our demand gen time to scale.

Pros

We are still in our infancy of this tool, but it provides great insight as a demand gen team on where we should begin to focus our efforts as well as the areas we should avoid.

Cons

The initial deployment was a little slow and there were a few trial and errors trying to get the data as accurate as possible. This can be a little frustrating when you want to make sure your are providing correct data to sales and they trust that data moving forward.

### "I use Tableau almost daily and it helps me analyze financial data in minutes. "

April 25, 2018

5.0

Data visualization of financial documents

Pros

The ability to visualize and interact with large data-sets (or multiple data-sets together) is helpful. The software works efficiently even on a remote server. Tableau handles millions of data rows with ease.

Cons

Tableau misses some useful features like format painter which is available in other visualization tools. Also, placing charts or containers on a dashboard is often time-consuming.

### "Top of the line visualization/dashboard builder"

July 24, 2018

5.0

I was able to create awesome visualizations with my data.

Pros

It's easy to use and there's an active community asking and answering questions, in case you ever get lost. The visualizations are also really beautiful. I sell visualizations to clients and the steep price is worth it.

Cons

The first and biggest is that is pricey. Microsoft has an alternative that is a lot cheaper, but when you use it, you'll know why. Also, it would be very helpful to understand how databases work, but the knowledge isn't necessary.

### "Still the best on its class"

May 11, 2018

5.0

Overall, a very good product. It has a free trial license, so I recommend a trial to anyone interested in data visualizations.

Pros

I am a longtime user of Tableau an I think I should update my previous review. Some years ago, Tableau was already a top-contender. Starting from this position, it has enlarged the list of compatible databases, and the capabilities to mix and match data from different sources. In the last weeks, Tableau software has changed is pricing scheme, and now it offers a reduced-price "viewer" license. In the past, you were forced to buy "the more costly "publisher license" even fro viewers.

Cons

The palette of available visualizations is the same since too many years. (e.g. it is missing radial plots)

### "Tableau analytics made easier, for an IT skilled person"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Powerful, great results, but I used in it in an IT shop where we had dozens of DBAs and data analysts (data mining professionals) and they needed to get training before we started to see those great results

Pros

Powerful, very professional results, lots of education that an IT skilled DBA or Analytics trained person will understand - education and examples are available on the web or via paid classes and seminars by the company or by 3rd parties.

Cons

Lots of adverting to exec's suggesting that you need this for your business and you should just go and get it; the problem is this is not a paint by numbers easy thing to use or learn; this is for a skilled DBA (data base administrator) or data-analyst or someone skilled in IT that can learn how to use it, and that needs to happen before you will see all those fancy charts that really are impressive. Find a user group that you can lean on for help; hire someone that will make the price of this worth it's value

### "Tableau"

July 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

It can utilize multiple data sources. The visualizations are of course the big seller when it comes to Tableau. Making data easier to digest for non-data people was very important to us when deciding to use this product.

Cons

The only issue that I can mention is the price. It can be pretty expensive for some companies.

### "One of the top BI tools for a reason"

June 14, 2022

5.0

Tableau software is powerful, but expensive. So it won’t be accesible by many, and there are also many new competitors in this space. However, those who can afford it will definitely be able to create very personalized data dashboards.

Pros

High degree of dashboard customization and offers the opportunity to non-technical staff to create their own data filtering.

Cons

Expensive, specially if you want to collaborate with other users, licenses add up. Users complain at times that it can be slow, but that really depends on how much data you’re querying.

### "Great visualization tool for mapping geo data "

July 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

The software gives you the ability to add multiple layers of data into maps and personalize it to your like.

Cons

The layers for a map are not necessarily intuitive so it takes a little bit to understand how to play with the data to make it visually appealing. I did find tutorials online that do help build them so it was not a major issue.

### "We use it for so many things"

May 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

I for one use it to visualize our budget spend and how we're doing. It helps when creating presentations, no likes looking at numbers.

Cons

There is definitely a learning curve if you've never used it before. I've been using it for a year and still don't know how to use all of the features. I would recommend going to one of their classes.
