### "Tableau Review"

August 1, 2022

3.0

Tableau can sometime be more frustrating than helpful, so truthfully i avoid using it as often as possible.

Pros

Tableau organizes iHeartMedia's library of podcasts so account executives can access data for each individual show. I like that I can sort podcasts by multiple different values, such as demographics or downloads.

Cons

The iTunes categories is a search engine and not a dropdown from which we could select categories.

### "Tableau is a great aggregator or different tools and tables"

April 6, 2021

4.0

Tableau replaced Looker for our organization and it has allowed us to save money, have fewer licenses, and integrate more deeply with our platform and our CRM

Pros

I like the ability for multiple data sets to be pulled in. Most beneficial is the joining of our proprietary platform and CRM data. This leads to efficiencies in communication across departments.

Cons

Tableau has very limited flexibility when it comes to how items and tiles display on dashboards. Sometimes it would be very nice title something differently, or change a legend/key or color with a few clicks.

### "Tableau: stunningly beautiful visuals! "

January 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau is a vary powerful BI tool that has an excellent data visualization tool. Tableau is also very easy to use and doesn't have a steep learning curve. I also like the ability to scale Tableau to meet the needs of any organization.

Cons

I don't like the fact that Tableau cannot work without an internet connection. Tableau tends to lag, especially when I have lots of applications open.

### "Great interface"

September 9, 2019

5.0

It's been a great product, easy to use and with all the features needed for our business intelligence.

Pros

It's really simple to setup, just link your database and start creating data charts. It's useful for non-tech people.

Cons

It's expensive considering that you have to pay for each user. It's good if you have a small data team, but if you are a large company it gets expensive.

### "Best for your business!"

April 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

All of your information is in one place! My company just recently introduced this to us and we are all in love with the program. I can find all of the detailed information I need all in one place and everything is organized and easy to find. It used to take me hours to finish my reports because I had to search through each customer but now Tableau groups their information together so all I have to do is hit a tab and there's everything I need!

Cons

Sometimes it will include false information in the tabs, for example on a certain report it included clients for reservations with future dates. These people had yet to stay with us so this information obviously wasn't valid for this particular report. Problem was easily fixed though.

### "Strong Analytic Tool"

September 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

As per Gartner, Tableau is one of the best analytic tool available on the market. You can easily slice and dice your data set to mine some useful information. Vast variety of charts and graphs makes it superior

Cons

As the data grow in size, the software performance goes down

### "Good quality output with limited input knowledge"

March 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ability to create and provide insight dashboards at such fast pace is a very good case to pick this. The ability to import complex data sets directly is also a plus.

Cons

The feature set is limited or the documentation for the same is very limited. For an average user to understand and work with all the features it takes a lot of getting used to.

My experience has been mostly positive, the only thing I struggle with is how long it takes to startup.

### "Tableau - the standard for other BI tools"

July 31, 2022

4.0

Overall its great but cost control is key

Tableau has and will always be way ahead of its time when it comes to the rich features it offers and ease of use

### "Quickly adopted this for my exploratory data visualizations"

September 5, 2017

5.0

Gave an edge over Excel and easier than programming in R or python. Very responsive.

Pros

Lots of easy to use connectors to useful data sources. Easy to present the data in an appealing and easy to understand manner. Filtering and sorting make it easy to use on the fly.

Cons

Some features were not intuitive and had to find an example/tutorial to implement, there might be some help features here but I'm not aware of them. So a better help feature that includes examples might make this program even better. The program has been adding useful features each version, but earlier I had to rely more upon R integration to get the results .

### "My Review of Tableau"

June 9, 2022

4.0

My overall experience with Tableau is very good as it provides many data visualization tools.

Pros

Tableau is very powerful in making visualizations and reports. I like the ability to embed my project on Tableau with my presentation. Also, I like the different filtration tools that Tableau provides in order to fully control my data.

Cons

Tableau is very difficult for beginners because of the amount and variety of its tools with no complete documentation that covers everything. The free version is a web-based version which doesn't give me the full capabilities.

### "Honest review of Tableau"

February 27, 2021

4.0

Overall, Tableau is a great tool to understand client needs and explore white space where there could be additional opportunity. It allows me to stay informed and gives me credibility when talking to the client.

Pros

Tableau makes it easy for me to understand how my clients are using our platforms. It also makes it easy to download full usage reports when I need to deliver to clients. Its integration was seamless, and the usage reports even populate inside our CRM now.

Cons

Tableau's user experience could be improved upon. It's not always intuitive to find the information you're looking for. There are lots of functions you would never know about unless you just happened to be clicking around. Better UX design could really improve the way this data is taken in and digested.

### "My experience is awesome"

July 17, 2018

5.0

Can visualize data very easily and quickly.

Pros

Data can be visualized very quickly in many ways without having to write enormous lines of codes. GUI based which I feel is very user friendly.

Cons

Data manipulation tools are missing. And numerous variables cannot be visualized at the same time. Need to be more flexible with adding more variables to plot.

### "Data analysis and visualization at its finest"

October 8, 2021

4.0

Several features of Tableau are striking such as its ability to embed other database, creation of several types of charts, data input and extraction is straightforward, and ability to access the datasets on a range of devices. Has helped us work across many layers of data and extract useful outputs.

Pros

The ability to integrate vast amounts of data, without the software freezing, and providing impressive, interactive visuals for the audience. It is an intelligent data driven tool that has helped us analyze key chunks of data and generate meaningful insights.

Cons

High upfront cost and pricing seems to be inflexible for repeat subscribers.

### "Data Analytics - At it's best "

July 24, 2020

4.0

I used Tableau to Solve the Finance domain report which show the over all growth of the Company and spending on the different platform and hierarchy of the organization.

Pros

The Tableau is old and most trusted tool to be used in Data Visualisation and Analytics. The Built -in Analytics make tableau best , since no time is wasted in calculation. Create more interactive dash broad and Report. Able to connect with more than 75 data connection and real time Data analysis. Also, Tableau can be easily deploy within Cloud (AWS , Azure , GCP ) and On - premises.

Cons

The more you pay ..more you able to used the feature of tool. Doesn't provide free trail to use and understand the capabilities of the tool. Hard to learn the tool.

### "Used to forescast business trends "

June 30, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that is very easy to use and easy to understand. The visualization is remarkable making it easy to demo to c-level executives. It is also mobile friendly which is a huge plus.

Cons

The cost is on the high end compared to its competitors and can cost more to implement in your environment, as the talent pool of tableau developers and super users is minimal. It is a large cost to ingest- it is best to be prepared to make the full investment including developers for your team otherwise you may not be able to use it to its fullest potential after implementation.

### "Ok for schools"

July 1, 2022

2.0

I want to get better at using it and hope our school will get better at updating it for student success.

Pros

Tableau has a beautiful display of data and ways to filter and narrow your view of student data.

Cons

However, it is hard to navigate to exactly what you want when looking at student data vs teacher-specific data. Our school does not have a good system of updating where and when the data pulls so our data analysis is always out of date/behind.

### "Great graph making tool"

October 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

Its graph and visualization functions are really cool in terms of simplifying the process analyzing the data. Whatever data you drag into it, it can be organized in a very clear and logic way.

Cons

Some sophisticated requirements can not be fulfilled, for advanced professional use, it might not satisfy your needs. At the same time, its user interface and easiness to start on are in a status of needing improvements.
