### "Great DV tool!"

November 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

Love this program for the interface! It has soo many options in regards to creating visually interesting reports that just relay the info.

Cons

It makes all your reports public if you want to use it and don't have a license. Its understandable though.... a trade for amazing product. Second to Power BI

### "Very good. Its nice and Easy."

May 1, 2018

4.0

Well, this software allowed me to apply new forms of information control and generate autonomous and online reports. which saves a lot of time of manual processing of the data as well as application of statistical models on these.

Pros

my approach to this software gave in the academic - university field and from there I could implement it in my work performance. I really like the approach and the availability of using it with certain freedoms in the free version.

Cons

I do not like the lack of supports or aids within the system. in terms of statistical management, it is not very intuitive and the complexity of what can work is not noted, except for many attempts.

### "Good at a Glance"

February 16, 2021

4.0

It's our key way of tracking adoption and spend. Once built, it's easy to share the Dashboards around teams so everyone is on the same page.

Pros

If you have a BI team who can build the dashboards, they're great to share amongst your team. I use them often to reference our success metrics and see how adoption is tracking at a glance over time.

Cons

If it's not setup in the way you want to see the data, it's hard to copy and paste values to sum them. Also, graphs are hard to enlarge if they're not build that way to begin with.

### "Highly functional dashboard and data software"

April 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use Tableau at our company to assess various types of data for different business units and products. The product allows to have multiple customizable dashboards that can suit any team's need. The dashboards have a variety of functional filters and settings that you can play with to get your data narrowed down as much as you need.

Cons

The navigation can sometimes be really messy and unclear, especially when you're using it not as a data analyst but as a regular employee who tries to get the data they need. I had a colleague explain to me how to use one specific dashboard, and if you want to use multiple, it may certainly require a bit of wandering around and getting used to the interface and settings before you start easily finding what you need.

### "Upgrade your Excel charts"

February 19, 2021

4.0

Tableau enabled us to build an interactive analytics dashboard. The HUGE feature is the ability to filter data across multiple dimensions by clicking the charts. For example, after building a pie chart visualization, click a segment of the pie and all the data is constrained to just that segment. Other related charts will also adjust since the base data that all the charts pull from is filtered. Building these kind of interactions from scratch using web technologies like d3.js takes twice as long.

Pros

This software made it easy to connect with several disparate data sources, build charts, and communicate insights about business data.

Cons

Coming from background that is heavy in raw SQL, some operations were unintuitive. I had to lean heavily on building out views that were more palatable for Tableau to consume. While, Tableau has the ability to create computed values it required a lot of clicking around and writing code in their proprietary query language.

Reason for choosing Tableau

Google Data Studio may be a good alternative. It's certainly cheaper (free), and much cheaper and easier to publish reports online. However, at the time of evaluation, Tableau had the better feature set. This may change as Google enhances its offering.

### "Lots of Feature, Sometimes Not Modern"

February 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

\- Lots of features. Almost anything can be built using the tool. - Quite easy to learn. - The output looks visually beautiful.

Cons

\- Everything is based on drag-and-drop. Hard to replicate previous work sometimes. - The server version is sometimes clunky and lacks many features of the desktop version. Clearly a desktop first product.

### "Great reporting tool"

August 2, 2018

5.0

Very useful tool when implemented correctly. It can cover as many insights as needed for all types of metrics.

Pros

Integration, User friendly, easy to use. It can interact with several databases and applications that are part of the business core

Cons

Sometimes integration to other applications involves working with technical partners from the other applications to make it work correctly. This may take time, but at the end could worth it.

### "Gold Standard"

January 7, 2019

5.0

It shows you what's really going on with your business, and the whole team at Tableau is PHENOMENAL.

Pros

You can stop looking now. Tableau is the gold standard for data visualization software. This is your premier business intelligence solution, with data visualization made easy. The interface is relatively easy to use, and once you learn how to use the software (which isn't too difficult), it's a breeze. There's plenty of training and tech support available from the wonderful Tableau staff, and they have regular meetings and conferences where you can learn even more about this software suite. A must-have for any business seeking to see just exactly what's going on "under the hood".

Cons

You do require training to learn how to use it, but it's not as difficult as some other software trainings I've undergone.

### "Great Software but NOT for inexperienced Excel users"

December 5, 2019

5.0

I created a few visualizations and scenarios to determine what accounts will be best to pursue for upsells.

Pros

This software provides truly beautiful visualizations and can help analyze data in a variety of different ways. These types of visualizations and depth/analyzation abilities cannot be found anywhere else.

Cons

Inexperienced spreadsheet users will not be able to use this software. I would recommend at least someone how considers themselves "good" or better.

### "Good but Comes with Steep Learning Curve"

November 25, 2023

3.0

Overall, it's a good BI tool with very nice visualisation. I use it lesser now - opting for simpler tools in my daily work.

Pros

There are a lot of tools, and features that you can configure to make the visualisation you need. A lot of the complex visualisation are supported out of the box.

Cons

The learning curve is very steep. You will need to dedicate time to learn how to properly use tableau since the amount of configuration is high..

### "It makes Data Science much more easier"

September 28, 2022

5.0

My experience was great, I wish I had access to it even before!

Pros

I love the simplicity of this software. With it, I can easily create visualization and explore my DWH with no effort! The aggregation functions are great and take away a lot of complexity from my work.

Cons

Sometimes I need to customize the visualization I make in order to adapt them to my needs, but this is not always possible or it's not trivial at least.

April 6, 2018

5.0

KPI management

Pros

It allows you to store KPIs for management in one place that automatically updates and allows management to splice it how they want to see it.

Cons

I wish you didn't have to log in to see some of the graphs. If I'm a user sometimes I just want to look at it quickly on my phone.

### "Easy And Quickly Application for Boards"

March 24, 2021

4.0

It's a great product if you can afford it, it has a lot of data connections, Unlimited data connectors , Live and in-memory data, great dashboards, Drag-and-drop integration

Pros

Tableau is a great product that helped us to organize a lot of information from our clients databases and brought them back as useful information to work with. It was easy to setup and work with. Drill-down and visualization tools are very user friendly. In general terms, it Is Very Good But The Constant Updates For Desktop Version Are Annoying

Cons

The constant updates and the cost it is a bit high, not all the medium sized companies will be able to afford it

### "Very useful tool for Data visualisation "

July 14, 2022

5.0

It's a great software service to use.

Pros

Various types of graphs that are integrated in this software really helps in analysing the data just by visulation. This reduces time and error.

Cons

Sometimes the options are hard to find. If someone is not well trained to use this software he/she may not be able to operate it without any professional.

### "A must have for a data enthusiasts"

February 17, 2020

5.0

Its powerful, robust. It's fairly intuitive so no need of a special training at least just to start creating the basic dashboards for a small business.

Pros

I use tableau every day and it's a really powerful tool to gain insights into enterprise level data. The visualizations are quite nice. Integration with other data sources is really helpful.

Cons

I am still exploring this but none so far. If I have to write one, then the resources are not easily available over the internet.

### "Create, share and understand analytics quickly!"

November 17, 2022

5.0

Pros

The Tableau software is dynamic, intuitive for users and creative in the way information can be presented. There are so many options to use based on what your needs may be, and being able to export and share findings with ease makes what could be complicated monthly reporting clear and efficient.

Cons

There is nothing I don’t like about this software. It brings reporting to a new level.

July 13, 2017

4.0

It helps us distribute very good reports to our organization.

Pros

Tableau is fantastic in that it's highly customizable and accommodates pretty much all of our reporting needs. It makes it very easy to create, visualize, and distribute a report to your organization. There is a lot of good functionality.

Cons

You need to work very hard to accommodate all the performance quirks and there are a lot of random limitations. It is like Salesforce in that it is as good as your resources allow it to be.

### "Dashboard reporting using Tableau"

September 19, 2022

4.0

It works!

Pros

It allows me to view multiple dashboards and filter and generate necessary reports per my preferences.

Cons

None. Maybe due to the user licensing, I hope I am able to build more filters when necessary.
