### "One of the best visualization tools out there"

November 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

Tableau has one of the most interactive and easiest to follow tutorials. Education pricing is affordable. I also feel like the user interface is more intuitive than other substitutes.

Cons

Not sure I would keep using Tableau without the educational pricing. The sheer volume of features can also seem pretty overwhelming and may benefit from some reorganization.

### "Data Analysis using Tableau"

May 6, 2020

5.0

I have fallen in love with Tableau since I first used it. I have created my own Tableau Public and have uploaded a couple of visualizations I created. I am getting into Data Analysis and this is an amazing tool to understand concepts and generate insights.

Pros

Tableau is one of the best tools I work with. It literally gives me the required insights I seek from huge datasets. It is an all in one tool as you can clean data, structure it, analyze it and visualize it all from this single tool.

Cons

I personally haven't had any issues with the product yet as I'm using the free version though a student email id. However, many of my peers that had to choose a visualization tool let go of Tableau because of its high price per user.

### "Tableau offers interesting and unique presentation options"

April 20, 2017

4.0

Our financial analyst has recently shared this program with me -- he is the generator of the reports that I use on a daily basis, so although I'm by no means an expert in creating reports, I do appreciate that he can now offer me a wider range of reporting options. It is still new to me but I expect that I will learn to appreciate it even more as I spend more time with it.

Pros

unique, feels very user-friendly as far as the types of reports that can be generated.

Cons

seems a bit complicated to do the actual report generating, but I have a financial analyst who does this for me! I'm sure it will become easier and will feel more intuitive once I have spent more time with it.

### "Tableau my beau"

December 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

Data is summarized in clear formats. You are able to navigate fairly easily. I was introduced to it a few months ago with no instruction how to use it. It was easy enough to figure out so I could grab the information that I was looking for.

Cons

Can't think of any at the moment I have only been using it for a few months.

### "Tableau Review"

December 3, 2019

4.0

Good experience till now but somewhere software lack which should be fixed by vendor.

Pros

Using this tool you can connect to hundreds of data sources without any programming. You can easily switch between extracted data and live connections.

Cons

Software lacks sometime. If a customer has performance problem then the support team doesn't settle the problem by finding the root cause.

### "Good cloud-based tool for data analysis and manipulation"

June 6, 2018

3.0

We use it for structuring and ordering our business intelligence data

Pros

You can combine multiple data sources into a single dashboard, that can quite easily be created with drag-and-drop tools and widgets. It has integration with programming language R, meaning if you know your way around that language, statistics and analysis becomes alot easier.

Cons

The learning curve is steep due to how extensive it is and how broadly it can be used for data analysis and visualization, especially if you do not have programming experience. Account licenses can be expensive, and combined with the time needed to learn and setup a system, means a quite big investment before you see any results.

August 9, 2022

Pros

The WIDE variety of data visualization options. They have great options for all types of data.

### "Tableau is very easy to use self-serve system"

October 12, 2017

4.0

This software was adopted at my company for its ease of use, cost, and ease of sharing information. The distribution of information is important for the company as information cannot reside in the cloud due to information security.

Pros

The software is very user friendly and easy to establish. There a lot of things inherently built into the software that allow for easy display of information and base analytics.

Cons

While the software is great, especially with it's low cost, heavier analytics is either performed by the user themselves or would have to have an intimate knowledge or R or some other tool.

February 20, 2020

5.0

Overall, Tableau is used for dashboard creation and implementation at my company.

Pros

I love the interface of the dashboards and the ease of use once they are assembled. The dashboards are really cool!

Cons

The ease of use when trying to implement changes and new dashboards is still a bit confusing. This could lead to churn with the product.

### "Evaluation of business intelligence tool Tableau"

September 27, 2018

5.0

Very intuitive tool for creating reports in a complex environment with multiple parameters. Nice graphics to effectively visualize the reports.

Pros

Very intuitive tool for creating high value reports on a set of different data sources. Can be used in combination with many different types of databases for storage. Especially the time slicing feature is powerful. This allows you to combine multiple sources of disparate data to be combined into one single time-based report. Reports can be created by production people, who do not need to be IT specialists.

Cons

There are not really disadvantages to this reporting tool.

### "Tableau software"

August 9, 2017

5.0

Pros

It’s ease of use means anyone can use it (regardless of technical or analytical background). Highly intuitive interface allows data set creation, data exploration and dashboard creation for all experience levels. They offer a free cloud-based version available for startup budgets or companies looking to try before they buy.

Cons

Some more experienced users feel Tableau is lacking in advanced features so if you’re looking for more sophisticated capabilities such as embedded BI, data preparation and metadata management, you may be disappointed.

### "One of the best Data Visualization and Reporting tools"

August 16, 2022

4.0

Tableau is great for dashboards and a high-level understanding of insights.

Pros

The data visualizations that can be created with Tableau is impressive. The tool is user-friendly and does not take long to learn. The option to connect to different types of data sources is excellent. Tableau provides free versions which can be used to learn the tool. Students also get a one year free subscription to Tableau desktop which is great.

Cons

The prices are sometimes on the higher end for enterprises. When dealing with large datasets it sometimes tends to be a little slow.
