### "It is one of the best bi software, fast, very intuitive"

March 8, 2018

3.0

gave me the opportunity to explore a new complex BI system

Pros

excellent user interface (especially from mobile), has a very active user and developer community that answered in a short time. It's comparatively low cost solution and provides a complete set of tools

Cons

developers necessary must have strong technical skills to build the initial structure. Once you publish a document there is no way to recover previous versions(no pulling back actions)

### "Tableau for the tie"

June 11, 2020

3.0

We have used this with the CFAM program that is provided via APSRC. It is a little wonky to manipulate. It just seems dated and not a easy to learn as other software that looks more modern.

Pros

Ability to search financial data from current year Ability to compare financial data from year to year

Cons

The software seems a little dated to me It is not the easiest software to use and manipulate.

Reason for choosing Tableau

CFAM vs. APSCN, CFAM would probably win, but it would be by default because APSCN is so difficult to work.

### "A vital tool for reporting"

October 22, 2019

5.0

Overall, Tableau has given me great insight into what I do and how it contributes to the business. My company loves it!

Pros

I honestly don't know of a company that doesn't use Tableau for reporting. It's so customizable and the amount of data sources that it can connect to and supply seems endless. It's completely changed the way that I look at results.

Cons

Tableau can be a bit complicated because there are so many features. But as long as I stay in my little reporting box, I'm not worried about it!

I liked that the software suggests what visuals can help you represent the information you want to include. Quite easy to understand and learn.

### "Powerful data presenting tool"

March 31, 2021

5.0

I’m a Team Leader of a Service Desk which supports more than 20 clients. The number of incidents/tickets which goes through the system is measured in thousands and each of those tickets represents data which might be turned into a useful information if needed. Tableau does exactly that, turns data into information by allowing you to apply specific parameters/criteriums/filters. What you get are numbers but also a very nice visual representation of those numbers which you could use for dashboards, reports and presentations. It basically spares you the time and effort of manipulating that data in, let’s say pivot tables in excel, and it automatically generates graphs and visual data.

Pros

Easy to use data analysis, quick graphs and dashboards. It is a really big time saver when it comes to data presenting.

Cons

You might be limited by the options and filters when compared to some other tools, but again everything could betweaked.

### "Amazing Tool to create visualizations"

August 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau is so robust and is constantly updating the software with more features for the user. If you are in the data and analytics environment, this is the tool to have! It takes the guess work out of figuring out what type of visualization to use to tell the story. It has a story feature as well that makes it super easy to create a picture out of the data!

Cons

There is not a think that I can think of because they are always updating their software to the latest version and communicating these changes.

The product has been great for visualizing raw data, the data connectors can come from any source which is the best part of Tableau. The metrics and dimensions can be used easily by simple drag and drop.

Cons

It is fairly expensive when compared to others in the market. The learning curve is huge, you really need someone with great experience to use Tableau.

### "One of the best ways to visualize data"

November 12, 2019

4.0

Great experience when visualizing data. This is especially great when giving presentations to non-technical folks and the reports can bring home what the data is telling everyone.

Pros

Tableau is perhaps one of the best software for visualizing data along with creating reports and dashboards.

Cons

The complexity of the application does give it a steep learning curve. However, I think the company has done well to give tutorials for users to learn how to use the application.

Tableau has given me a way to express my data in a profession and interesting manner.

Pros

Tableau enables one to allow their data to tell a story. Tableau is the industry standard for creating beautiful stories through data, I like their bar graphs and scatter plots the most. I like how you can easily adjust the sizes of the bars and colors. It is colorblind friendly.

This software is extremely hard to figure out, even with professional help.

November 30, 2022

Great!

With so many clients and business, it becomes a task t understand the performance of every geography, the churn numbers, the trends and what to expect next. Tableau with ist visual aspect makes it very easy to pull in data from salesforce and organise it in a manner which is easy to read and comprehend.

Cons

For new user, the tool can be a little overwhelming so they can work on app cues and tutorials for new signups!

Tableau makes data fun to work with and share with others.

Pros

Tableau's drag and drop data features make it easy to see what data is saying at a glance.

### "Tableau - Very Underrated"

April 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

If you can figure out this program, you will like a King or Queen in your office when you draft up reports. Mastering this can really set you apart from your competition, but it can be difficult. However I do love this program and will continue to use.

Cons

If there is not someone who is trained in using this software teaching you, good luck! Even tutorials online can be difficult as I am a hands on learner and this makes it difficult. Still use this though.

### "Tableau is Excel but with more visualization"

February 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

I create a lot of reports for my job and Tableau has allowed me to create more value-adding visuals for my reports. Tableau is pretty customizable and has a lot more visual options than Excel. With the correct data set in place, it's very easy to pull together data and create new and insightful views.

Cons

There is a learning curve to using Tableau. It's not always easy to create a new report (given that you have to incorporate the data). As well, I have used Tableau with my company and often my reports are deleted. From an administrator perspective, I am assuming there is not sufficient storage available.
