### "The best BI software"

January 11, 2019

5.0

The most complete business intelligence software

Pros

Easy to use, you can build all kinds of dashboards and set alarms to your reports. With tableau server you can publish all your boards in a private site.

Cons

The licenses have a very high price and is not enough to publish your dashboards, for that you must acquire an other types of licenses. There is not much software documentation

### "Prefer not to use "

September 1, 2019

4.0

Pros

It stores a lot of data, so that you don't have to use multiple systems.

Cons

Not user friendly at all, this would be a system that I think is very helpful but prefer not to use.

### "Data Presentation Made Easy"

December 3, 2019

5.0

I use Tableau to visualize the data trends from a ton of data. It produces beautiful charts (many different types) with a drag and drop interface. I also use it with a connection from ALteryx so I can manipulate the data and then visualize with minimal extra effort. Great, easy tool to use.

Pros

There are two things about Tableau that make it outstanding- first- the ease of use in creating visualizations from your data and second, the simplicity in learning how to use it. It is simple to learn and has a ton of power in its use.

Cons

Although powerful, there have been a few times when it gets overloaded and presents the visualization in a nonsensical manner. This could be my fault from setting up but if I simplify things, it works fine.

### "Good product for data "

November 12, 2019

5.0

The learning curve is steep but interesting. There are many things you can achieve using Tableau by using a combination of Tableau and cartesian geometry.

Pros

Very powerful engine with capability to connect to varied data sources. It can be used to make some exceptionally amazing visualizations.

Cons

So far I did not have any issues while using Tableau. In fact, I think it is a very easy to learn software.

### "I don't work in BI but liked it! "

February 3, 2019

5.0

Great!

Pros

I needed to use Tableau to create weekly reports and although I didn't work in BI I was able to create easy clear reports with this system. I loved how visual it was!

Cons

I found it very sensitive to everything and since I never worked in BI I was unaware when I did something wrong!

### "Versatile Big Data Visualisation Tool"

July 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

\-Efficient data organization -Cross-platform sharing with team members -Can setup basic reports with ease with the ability to dive deep when complex reporting is required. -Intuitive for end users to digest the data.

Cons

\-Complex reporting requires more of a learning curve to make the most out of this tool. -Expensive. Although I think worth the price for the features/benefits provided. -I haven't always been able to export in the format I need but have discovered work-arounds.

### "Tableau Review"

August 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

Being a data analyst, I have been using Tableau since the past two years. It does a really good job in providing different features and options for visualizations and helps in creating great dashboards.

Cons

In comparison to another tool, it does not have the feature to run SQL queries in here and it also lacks documentation.

### "Overrated for true data analysis, but very accessible for quick data visualization"

March 6, 2018

3.0

Pros

If you know how to use Microsoft Excel, then you know how to use Tableau. And there are plenty of videos and books out there to help you through the gentle learning curve. My favorite feature in Tableau is creating a dashboard and/or balanced scorecard. (If you need to connect to external databases, you need the pro version.) Data visualization is Tableau's strong suit.

Cons

While Tableau excels in data visualization, it is really pretty weak for "true" data \*analysis\*. Even Excel is more powerful for calculations and statistical inference. For these types of tasks, I recommend using Python.

### "Tableau"

September 30, 2020

4.0

Overall I give it 9 stars for being easy to use. And the widely available training on YouTube and online support, this is one of the best tools today.

Pros

Drag and drop dashboard. I was able to create dashboard in minutes. Map feature is the best. This is so far the best tool to create analytics report for the company. There are many viz to choose from and plenty of online community for support.

Cons

Not able to handle complex query. Sometimes the report takes a long time to run. It's somewhat expensive to buy a personal license. I would suggest that with discount to home users, Tableau will become the one and only one tool needed for analytics.

### "must-to-know app for data visualization"

December 14, 2019

5.0

It helps professionaly with data visualization. I like it.

Pros

Tableau provides professional visualizations for data analysis. You don't need to know programming for using it. Just practice and practice more.

Cons

It is a commercial software, so you have to pay for it but if you work for company or institution you don't need to worry about it. Another thing is Tableau requires a lot of memory compared to other apps.

### "Data is clear & organized"

July 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

Since we've begun using Tableau we've been able to keep all of our data clear & organized. We are also able to use it across the entire department.

Cons

The software itself can be a bit confusing at first to use but with training and regular use of the software you become familiarized.

### "Easy to capture company data"

May 29, 2021

4.0

Overall, this software helps give my team a glimpse of the daily work load for our operations team and helps us to know when to reach out for information

Pros

We primarily use Tableau for our operations team. My team uses Tableau to help us know how much inbound our operations team has reach day. This data can help shape the way we communicate with them.

Cons

The part I like least about tableau is that it can be a bit laggy. Even though I log in different times, it still shows the last date that I selected a while back. Even though I clear it each time I log on, it still brings me back.

### "This Software s complicated, but if you know your stuff it may be worth it."

August 16, 2018

2.0

Its a complicated piece of software...love the end result however if you get it to work right.

Pros

Lots of choices, you can do just about anything and display it for your office, collection floors, Call centers, and sales floors etc...

Cons

The interface is like a spaceship interface or cock pit of a F-18...way too much for the novice. Which I was at the time of using this software.

### "Excellent tool for Business Intelligence, Analysis and Reporting"

April 13, 2019

5.0

Dig deep into data and analyse any kind of data in a better representation for instant analysis and predictions

Pros

It is a great product and tool that simplifies data analysis and takes it to the next level. I have used tools like PowerBI that has been built by Microsoft that offers similar functionalities and features, however, this tool's interface is really a watch out for! I love the overall user experience and interface provided by Tableau. There may be a lot of products out there for BI analysis and reporting, but the variety of reports , charts and analysis handled, made and created by this application simply beats them all. Due to its simple and easy to use designs, it make predictions and data analysis smoother and instantly helps in project planning.

Cons

In terms of data security and reliability, I would prefer Microsoft's PowerBI tool. Also, there are very few integrations with other tools, unlike PowerBI where I could integrate the tool with Cortana by Microsoft to get instant and better results in no time via O365.

### "Good enterprise visualization software for your data"

June 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau allows for easy, automatically-updated visualizations of your business data. There are many features available to customize simple charts.

Cons

The software is expensive, and can be difficult to navigate for beginners. This is mostly geared toward data scientists or people intimately familiar with data science.

### "Let you data tell the story"

March 6, 2022

4.0

Pros

Tableau is the perfect data visualization tool for beginner in the data analytic world. Once my data is cleaned and validated it was easy to load the data into the software and customize it to different visualization templates. The tableau community is also awesome, you can get your questions answered fairly quick in the forum.

Cons

For personal use, I found Tableau to be on the pricier side. While they do have a free plan for students, it will be nice to have a basic version available at no cost to gain familiarity and make it more accessible.

### "Tableau Review"

November 22, 2016

4.0

We use tableau for weekly reporting dashboards as well as some adhoc reporting. Tableau does a nice job of creating visualizations of large amounts of data that is beyond excel's capability.

Pros

one time setup for visualization makes weekly, daily reporting much easier!

Cons

there is some difficulty in joining data sets as queries become to complicated. tableau works better with a more simplified backend

### "A must have tool in addition to Excel!"

December 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

Drag and Drop, beautiful visualization, instantly share... name a few! Tableau may not be able to fully replace Excel because your organization may have been using Excel for the past 30 years and works with clients who mostly are using Excel. But have Tableau will make your accountant and business analyst job a whole lot easier! Programming advance macro may not be something your accountant or analyst knows how to do. Tableau makes this a piece of cake! Plus Tableau allows you to create and save your own custom formulas, which can't be done in Excel!

Cons

Some export to Excel are incorrect and look bad! Not Tableau's fault! Just Excel can't handle it.

### "Tableau online review"

June 12, 2021

4.0

One of the best BI tool in the marker that I highly recommend.

Pros

One of the highest key value of tableau is the dashboards that can provide after analyzing data collected. The user interface makes the work much easier. You can enhance the security of the authentication by enabling SSO using azure/Gsuite and others.

Cons

When buying the cloud solution, tableau online should think to provide access to users to manage the server part which could be sometimes a blocker for some reasons.

November 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau is great for having the data and insight that you need to make proper business decisions.

Cons

Having this solution is a big investment but if you decide to make the decision to implement it you'll have access to valuable data that will help make high ROI decisions.

### "Unpuzzeling your data made ( relatively) easy ."

June 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

Different people process information differently and what I like best with Tableau is that there several options for the visualization of your data, making it clearer for people .It also supports any type of file you can stumble upon and the regular updates constantly improve the performance of the program .

Cons

Due to the cost it's not really suited for small businesses ,fortunately the free trial let's you decide whether it's worth it for you or not .While the updates mentioned above improve performance ,they can be a pain to manage.
