### "Fancy data"

November 28, 2018

4.0

Pros

When you want to make your data look really pretty and professional, I recommend you to use Tableau. If you know how to play with it, you can make magic with your data.

Cons

Not always it is quite straightforward how to achieve the results you want. Also, if the fees for the software can be quite high, especially if you work on your own.

### "Review Tableau"

February 9, 2019

5.0

I use Tableau for my stats class to visualize variable, find correlation between variables, for linear regression and etc.

Pros

It is the best software for data visualization handsdown. I have not seen a better free software for visualization like Tableau.

Cons

The customizability of Tableau to code on it like R and Python is very limited and I consider that as a con.

### "One of the best data visualization software"

February 22, 2019

5.0

I am using Tableau mainly for data visualization and to create charts and reports for my projects. It is a great BI tool and it can really help you make sense of your "big data"

Pros

It is a must have for data visualization and business intelligence. Data can be imported from Excel, SQL, Oracle. You can visualize your data with the help of tons of charts, graphs with different colors and shapes. You can build dashboards and publish the analyses, reports and charts onto the web, share them with others or warehouse them.

Cons

The license is expensive. There are too many functions which could be mind-boggling for new users. When loading huge data files, the software can sometimes run slow which could be an issue for some.

### "Very good BI tool to get insights quickly"

February 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is extremely easy to get some dashboards in a matter of minutes by just drag and drop. The basic features are very intuitive.

Cons

Because you can do a lot of things with Tableau, this also means that some of them are not particularly obvious and there is a learning curve with this tool. Pricing model is on the expensive range.

### "Tableau Review"

February 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

The ability to turn large amounts of data into easy to customize graphs and chart representations. The drag and drop feature is very user friendly and makes projects quick and easy.

Cons

Using multiple features and filters at one time can get quite hectic.

### "Tabeau Review"

July 25, 2020

5.0

Overall Tableau is the number 1 visualization software in the world. It has found its use in many business domains. Though it does its job of statistics visualization perfectly, when it comes to analytical results handling it is lagging behind other BI Tools and hence cannot be considered as a standard for many companies.

Pros

There are good number of good visualization softwares. But Tableau is by far the best of the lot. It helps to break down data and show a visual representation of the same. Some of the prominent features are its ability to allow multiple data connections, ease of use, high performance, mobile friendliness and it also has a Tableau online community which acts as a bible for Tableau users. There are tons of graphics options to choose from which results in appealing graphics.

Cons

Tableau is built typically for business purposes considering its high product and certification costs. It is not that good in handling analytical results as compared to other BI tools. While using the software we encountered various security issues. There is a community version of the tool which is open source. We also encountered poor after sales service and support.

### "Best one for data analysis"

July 1, 2021

5.0

Pros

I like everything! It is so easy to use and it is very powerful tool. I recommend it to everyone!

Cons

I would just suggest that when cancelling some task, Tableau sometimes crashes/not responding, so this is a minus.

### "Awesome tool for data visualization"

October 9, 2019

5.0

I track my projects as well as action items of my teams on a regular basis using this program.

Pros

The real time data tracking feature of this program is very impressive. It also provides several options to sort and analyze data for visualization.

Cons

This tool should be customized for easy access on multiple operating systems as well as devices. It is still not compatible for use on a phone.

### "Good software for visualization, not for beginners"

January 24, 2019

5.0

I use it to visualize analytics project.

Pros

Once you have made yourself familiar with the software, it will become a very powerful tool for visualization.

Cons

If you are a beginner or are trying to work on some simple project, Tableau is not the first priority and unnecessary. Try to use it when you have learned how to utilized its functions.

### "A Convert, A Disciple"

May 16, 2017

5.0

Pros

Support: There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to learning Tableau, but the good thing is that Tableau comes with so much support. Whether it be learning the basics or trying to do something very specific, the resources that come with Tableau make it so that you can get what you need. Insight: Data and data prediction, in particular, has had a rough year. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that when you plug your data into a Tableau you are able to see it in a whole new light and are able to glean so much from the data that you already have at your disposal.

### "Tableau Review"

July 16, 2020

5.0

Love the program. I have been very pleased with the robustness of the program and highly recommend it.

Pros

You can break down the information in so many ways, and keep track of so many different matrixes. The program is very robust, comprehensive and yet still very user friendly and easy to read.

Cons

Until you are familiar with the program, it can feel and be a bit overwhelming, but once you learn how to navigate it, it's golden.

### "Tableau is a great Dashboarding and Analytics Tool!"

September 13, 2017

5.0

We are quickly able to see trends in our data and how well different products are doing

Pros

Tableau is so easy to use and the time to market is much faster than other reporting and dashboarding tools. If you have the available data, you can create a dashboard in minutes.

### "Easy to use, great data visualization options"

March 18, 2019

4.0

I would recommend the tool, but make sure that folks are trained and understand how to get data into the platform and save it out or else folks will get frustrated and things will take longer than they should

Pros

Easy to use, integrate with other platforms, and upload data. The data visuals and customization are ahead of the competition and work well for BI needs and presentations

Cons

Not a fan of the sales team or how dashboards and graphs are published, saved, and archived. You should be able to access previous versions and safe things in a cloud-based manner, but you can’t and it can be frustrating

April 6, 2022

### "Great for making fantastic dashboards"

October 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

I've managed to dazzle spectators in meetings when utilizing Tableau to show data through dashboards. Excel will always be a staple for what we do, but utilizing Tableau to illustrate data through maps and other means has been great for presentations.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve to set things up, but overall it wasn't too bad and was totally worth it.

August 25, 2019

Amazing, helped me in my weekly reports and daily tasks, would recommend it to anyone.

Pros

The software is a complete one. You can do a lot of analysis and view you data in a different way, wich help you understand what you're dealing with.

Cons

It's not a easy software to understand and to use in it's full potential. You need to study and pratice it.

### "Great as long as you have an analyst, DBA or Data Engineer to help"

August 6, 2019

4.0

Pros

You can't escape Tableau's ease in dashboarding and chart creation from multiple sources. It's great for Business Intelligence.

Cons

\- There are copious articles on setting up Tableau Server and/or Cloud from data sources. For a manager of BI or Data Analytics, this should be self-explanatory. However, if you don't have a team or access to technical resources to wade through some of the permissions database indices it can be hard. - Pricing can be interesting and you can find yourself switching from admin/creator/viewer just to toggle license pricing

### "Better alternative to Domo"

December 6, 2018

5.0

Please see the Pros section.

Pros

It works far better than Domo. We have been using domo for the past several years and constantly had issues with them from slowness of updates to terrible customer support. After trying out Tableau for a few weeks we decided to go with them over Domo.

Cons

I don't have any dislikes about this software.

Takes complicated data and transforms it into visually appealing information that is easy to understand!

Cons

From my college days, the back-end usage of the software was a bit confusing. However, I dont have to deal with that side anymore!
