### "Tableau is a way to go"

February 5, 2021

5.0

I've been using Tableau for more than a year and while it's not perfect, it's a really good tool.

Pros

Thanks to Tableau it's easy to create and publish good looking data visualisations, as well as get the analysis done on the spot. Perfect solution when you need to give data insights to the large numbers of people.

Cons

It may be a bit slow with graphical data and sometimes things that you'd consider basic, aren't that easy to do in Tableau (like conditional formatting). It's better for numerical data than inventory.

Alternatives considered

### "Powerful software to tell powerful data stories"

May 22, 2017

5.0

Pros

Tableau offers a vast array of visualizations to present data in powerful and impactful ways. Whether directly through SQL queries, or using the intuitive UI, I can quickly select and visualize data meaningfully. Being able to query local, remote, or hybrid data sources ensures I have access to the relevant data, and can also build on data from any source I'm provided. Gone are the days of building charts and graphs in spreadsheet software, and running complex equations to find and combine datasets.

Cons

Though I have no formal training for data analysis, Tableau can be overwhelming at first. It is so powerful you can get caught up in choosing which type of visualization to build, and how to combine your visualizations in the most impactful way. Help options in the application and on the web are abundant, so sitting down for a few hours with a video guide is extremely helpful.

### "sehr gute Software zur Verwaltung und Pflege aller Daten."

May 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Es hat viele Vorteile wie Power BI, wir können Daten manipulieren, wir können visualisieren, wir können die Regressionsanalyse durchführen und vieles mehr zu Power Visualisierungen. Diese Visualisierungen und Dashboards sind sehr hilfreich für das Management, um Entscheidungen zu treffen. Die kratzigen Daten können in feine und nützliche Daten verwandelt werden.

Cons

Wir benötigen lediglich eine Schulung zur Nutzung dieser Software. Für die Aktualisierung und Änderung des Dashboards ist viel manueller Aufwand erforderlich. Die Schnittstelle könnte etwas besser sein, um die Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu verbessern. Ich glaube, dass es einige Sicherheitsprobleme gibt, die geändert und die Sicherheitsbedingungen aktualisiert werden müssen, um die Software sicherer zu machen.

### "Presenting Data for the more Visually Minded"

April 16, 2019

4.0

I learned Tableau as a data analytics student, used it as a data professional and taught it as a data analytics teaching assistant, it's always my preferred choice as a data visualisation software.

Pros

I like focus on clean design as an output of data analysis. Other programs function similarly but it's the look of the visualisations that make Tableau stand out. When teaching others how to use this programme, they catch on quickly and are delighted by the output.

Cons

Being able to share and use your visualisations outside of the software is where the program is limiting. It's very contained to this programme, as most softwares like this are but it would be good to provide more ability to share the visualisations with a wider public.

August 29, 2018

5.0

A great tool to create high-quality graphical representation of complicated business facts

Pros

The dashboards and graphics are gorgeous… They look very professional and impressive to business users

Cons

People with a background in graphics will have an advantage in using this… It can be a little intimidating for a first-time user

5.0

It’s been great since day one

Pros

I believe this has been one of the most useful tools for reporting i have used, i have used many of the competitors but tableu has really helped me to build great dashboards to present to executives

Cons

### "BI Simplified"

April 14, 2019

4.0

Pros

Easy integration with databases so that the software intelligently analyses your data and generates exhaustive reports for you. Customizable Dashboard means we see only what we want at a quick glance logging into the software. Data can be viewed in the exact order an user needs using sorting. The generated financial/marketing and other reports can be exported into excel/PDF formats and shared among even non-technical people.

Cons

Pricing in the per-user category is slightly on the higher side.

### "Very Powerfull Reporting Tool"

April 2, 2020

5.0

Good for Monitoring Traffic specially for Networks

Pros

im using it in my business work to monitor data feeds from network elements and its very agonistic and it is not locked to one vendor like competition is doing

Cons

some time its not showing data reports and it needs to restart feeds when using with some DPI vendors

### "Recommend"

March 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use this for our sales and marketing dashboards. We came from a homemade data tracker. Tableau allows you to save specific data boards that are relevant to the user so you will not need to filter everytime you login. You can export boards for printing purposes. It is a live, centralized board for our entire company.

Cons

That it takes the admin to allow access to everything in the beginning. YOu can't be proactive without reaching out to someone else.

### "Quick powerful data visualizations"

August 15, 2018

5.0

I'm now able to set up recurring analytic visualizations directly against our business databases without the need to move data around and run them time and time again with ease.

Pros

Ability to generate data visualizations quickly and easily. Tableau is able to connect to almost any type of data-set from Excel files to a wide variety of ODBC connections. Data is easily manipulated and when ingested into Tableau even very large data sets are quickly analyzed making it a breeze to change things on the fly and perform many what if scenarios.

Cons

Have not really found a down side as of yet. Have found a few ODBC connectors that don't allow full functionality of Tableau but I believe that is due to the age of the connector and not a Tableau problem. I'm still able to pull the data needed outside of Tableau, then import and do what I need.

### "Awesome Data Visualization Tool"

June 1, 2019

5.0

Great functionality and experience visualizing my data for my school projects as well as on a professional level which helps derive insights

Pros

The ease of data visualization from complex data comprising hundreds of rows was a charm. Drag and drop functionality to create the visuals is amazing.

Cons

Creating a storyboard is not as obvious

### "Prior tableau user review"

November 10, 2023

3.0

Although it integrates with many platforms and getting data into the system is easy, trying to manipulate and display that data compared to the likes of powerbi, I find difficult and cumbersome and wouldn’t recommend

Pros

Tableau integrated with a lot of other providers which was great for connecting data across the tech stack, and it easily allowed you to import data form excel or other files

Cons

The set up and learning curve was very difficult, the tool isn’t intuitive to use and setting up dashboards and real time reporting just felt very time consuming and difficult, never particularly got anywhere with it where I felt I was using it to its full potential.

### "Not A heavy user"

May 1, 2019

3.0

I used this product for a bit to try different possible software but learning how to utilize or why I should spend the time didn’t really come across as worthwhile

Pros

As not a heavy user of data visualization since I mostly just do queries but it’s a pretty feature heavy product

Cons

Not the easiest to use. There’s a lot of features but I found the learning curve was too steep.

### "Unparalleled data visualisation tool "

November 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

Deep dive into data visualisation with a few clicks. Easily pivot data and further analyse data with customised formulas. Most people use it for sales analytics, but just check out Tableau Public and you can see so many ways Tableau can be used.

Cons

Tableau is a visualisation first software. The latest version has some built-in data wrangling features but I have not tried it comprehensively. Otherwise wrangle the data using OpenRefine or good ol' Python before importing it into Tableau

### "The measuring stick for dashboarding"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Built a variety of dashboards for my job. I have tried many different dashboarding softwares, but we still use Tableau.

Pros

The best dashboarding software that I have used. So many different charts and functions.

Cons

Not everything is easy to figure out. The rewards for learning are worth it, but it definitely takes a lot of use.
