### "I wish I would have had this years ago"

January 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau is so so much better than the software I used before. I used to only have excel for my data entry and spreadsheets. Tableau is like excel to the extreme. I can see where I’m losing money and which items I need to discontinue or make more. I can print much more effective reports, plus I do it in less time. Inputting data used to take hours, now I’m done 2 or 3 hours sooner. Customizing the reports has been so much easier. Moving items around to from multiple categories it better and easier. My clients so much happier and I don’t lose time or energy on useless data. I couldn’t be happier.

Cons

I had a small software adjustment issue and some things that’s didn’t calculate the time go around but I watched more videos on how to use the software to get a better understanding. Overall though, I don’t think I have any cons.

### "Tableau makes my job easier"

October 3, 2018

4.0

I really like tableau and I think that their customer support teams are incredible.

Pros

I love how easy it is to make visualizations from data. It’s so much easier than using excel and you have so much more control over how everything looks and works.

Cons

It can be frustrating to work with dates. The product is expensive but it’s worth it in my mind. I wish you could join data from different servers rather than just blending them.

### "In-depth data visualization tool with high level customizability."

August 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

Reasonably priced, attractive graphics and ease of use is nearly unparalleled. There is an element of complexity that you can add as per business needs, but the basics of the platform are easily approachable. The ability to set up dashboards and stories and use them for consistent/persistent data monitoring is fantastic.

Cons

Still waiting on back writing to database. It'd be incredibly helpful to be able to use the visualization platform to integrate/implement changes on the backend.

### "Useful, but not user friendly"

November 28, 2023

4.0

Pros

Tableau has a range of features that are extremely useful for reporting and data visualisations. It is a great alternative to Power BI which shares many of the same features.

Cons

Tableau is not a very user friendly platform and takes a while to get used to using, some of the options can be quite hard to find within the vast range of tools.

### "Data visualizations made easy after a short learning curve"

December 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau makes visualizations simple in a way that's very industry leading, and makes it easy for business users to comprehend data.

Tableau can't connect to all datasets that one might have, but the list is growing. Dashboards don't automatically refresh every X minutes/hours like competitors' visualization/dashboard tools.

### "Tableau Review"

September 15, 2017

4.0

Pros

Best product for data visualizations and business intelligence solutions.Provides ease of use for interactive data visualization dashboards offering a new revolutionary approach to make better decisions faster. Can share analysis and your organization can access your dashboards.

Cons

Formatting using the control button to drop down and look at default properties should be enhanced. Single valued list with radio buttons, drop down on the filter to show all value customizations and table calculations are little complex for beginners to comprehend and use.

### "Review for Tableau"

April 17, 2019

3.0

I have used this software for creating data visualization for sales data. I really liked this software as it is easy to understand and use albeit it has some disadvantages like cost etc.

Pros

I have used this software professionally for creating Data Visualizations. The things that I like about this software are : 1) It's very easy to use i.e you can create various visualizations without having in-depth knowledge of the software. 2) It also helps us by recommending the chart that will go along with the type of data. 3) The most important advantage of this software is that we can connect data from various data sources.

Cons

The things that I didn't like about this software are : 1) The graphs and charts are limited to create data visualization. 2) It's a paid software, not anyone can use tableau. 3) It lacks functionality for creating large scale data reporting.

### "Phenomenal value for the cost of the platform, as long as you have some knowledge of SQL"

November 8, 2018

5.0

Great, you get what you pay for , and as long as you have the knowledge to do so, Tableau is a great price for the value you get.

Pros

The ability to integrate data from multiple platforms, channels, etc. and bring them into Tableau for a blending that allows for a better data representation using their visualization tools.

Cons

There is learning involved with the use of the platform. If you are unfamiliar with SQL, Excel and how that all integrates with other applications then you might want to spend a bit more money for something with easier use.

### "Overrated easy to use"

February 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

\- Ease of use and chart building is not a complicated process anymore. - Can be used to build reports / analysis / or just to establish data discovery phase - Pre-built calculations in tables are awesome.

Cons

\- Connectivity issues - Connexions types ( live / extract ) are sometimes buggy. - When handling large sets of data in live connexion, a lot of bugs occur.

### "Build with Tableau."

January 12, 2019

5.0

Our collaborators never analyzed the data sources with such precision, thanks to Tableau.

Pros

Tableau Desktop opens a wonderful window so we can maintain dashboards, valuable information for the company. The union and expansion of the combined data analysis in Tableau, makes this tool a power. Each site, source and global update, is easily captured in Tableau, and we are very beneficial in this tool.

Cons

Beyond the basic analysis that each person must have to use Tableau (or any other application, really). It is uncomfortable that the learning curve is so big, because it incorporates SQL, which is not an ability that everyone has, however, it is not the worst. The slowness with which Tableau performs the data and information connection is alarming. A good guided tour of the application would be practical and speed up the loading processes.

### "Tableau can do it"

February 28, 2019

5.0

Tableau has been able to help us in the reports we do to our clients, and saved us time at the same time as we are able to track any kind of trend we see in the reports.

Pros

We work in the healthcare industry. With Tableau we have been able to track payments, denials, refunds and report those to our clients, of course they love all the detail information tableau is able to provide

Cons

The reports content will depend on how good you are with commands, arguments and variables. The more you know it will be easier for you. Maybe creating a training space with more in deep information will be good

### "Great for data visualization"

September 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love it because it supports tons of APIs including facebook, twitter, wordpress, etc. And the figures or graphs it creates are wonderful! It is also free to students now, which is a gift to me.

Cons

I can't think of a drawback now because I am not a heavy user yet. However, I do feel as a software, it has a huge size and require high-performance pc to run.

### "Innovative tool for building stat views"

October 31, 2019

5.0

We use it to build views for performance stats and monitor business operations

Pros

It’s a super smart tool that allows our call center to keep track of performance stats and data. We can access tool for many things and customize it endlessly

Cons

Sometimes it can be a very slow tool due to large amounts of data being stored and loaded. Wish it would work a little quicker at times

### "Very powerful for visual storytelling "

January 21, 2024

4.0

I have used Spotfire and Power Bi in the past, so a comparison would not be fair, however I think apart from the dataset connection, the tool is fairly intuitive and powerful for storytelling. One can easily create charts in sheets and then combine them in dashboards. There are plenty of libraries that can be used (e.g. geospatial ones) that bring the story to life.

Pros

Dashboards and the advanced visualisation options. For my project I had to do Principal Component Analysis which in essence is dimensionality reduction. Tableau allowed me to easily switch between visualisation types and pick the one where the components can still be easily read even in a quite cluttered chart.

Cons

Connecting the datasets was not very intuitive to me.
