### "A great tool for creating stunning visualizations"

September 20, 2019

5.0

Overall I am impressed with the amount of tools that Tableau has. It is a really great way to spruce up a presentation and help others understand your data in a visually appealing way.

Pros

I like the sheer amount of cool features that exist within Tableau. There are very visually stunning visualizations that can be made using Tableau. I especially love the map tools. The color gradient overlaid upon a map is one of my favorite ways to show the differences between different places.

Cons

The learning curve can be a little difficult with Tableau. Some of the advanced tools require a little bit more time to learn. Even with using it for a few months I still feel like I have only scratched the surface on what Tableau can do.

### "Simple Data Visualization Tool"

July 13, 2020

5.0

Tableau does a great job with simple data visualization. Though there are other competitors, they do not offer anything unique that Tableau cannot do. Real time visualization, locations, and more are all available through Tableau.

Pros

Tableau is initially intuitive, and anyone can learn to use its basic functions very quickly. There is also a layer of depth that you can explore for hundreds of hours, truly becoming an expert in showing what is really happening in the data.

Cons

After understanding the basic features, learning some of the more complex features can be really daunting. Though Tableau has some free basic trainings, I would love to see more content availability and learning tools.

### "Honest Tableau Review"

November 8, 2022

5.0

Would recommend over previous software by a landslide.

Software is very user friendly and report formats are well organized and easy to interpret. Also, very easy to switch between months of data or whatever time frame is needed.

Parameters are fixed and when data gets changed parameters have to be updated manually - no automation

### "Tableau is ok for database visualizations "

May 4, 2018

3.0

Pros

Its has a fair amount of available customization so you can link all tables and cells of a database to the software. This allows for visualizations on almost anything.

Cons

The software is slow to load, too many uses will kill the server. Even though the visualizations are great, they are not so good if you cant access them.

Reporting and visualization capabilities are robust. Industry leading position means that there are tons of resources available to both integrate with and troubleshoot/learn.

### "Amazing product for data viz"

April 13, 2018

4.0

The charts and graphs are eye-catching. There are so many different types of charts and graphs.

Pros

I started using tableau for a master's program, but the graphs and charts were so amazing that I have found ways to use it in my regular job. There are so many different types of graphs and charts. The customer service is amazing. I signed up for a trial and within a few days one of the company reps had contacted me to help me get an educational license.

Cons

I got frustrated at first because I was not putting the data incorrectly so I didn't get the outcomes I wanted. It has a pretty steep learning curve.

### "Would be the best option but has not succeeded"

February 7, 2019

4.0

My profile is not a developer but an analyst and, for me, is great when you are studying the information but does not leave you easily and without cutting-paste create classic reports that are demanded by the President of the company. Clear and that allows a strategic decision.

Pros

The simplicity and the options to créate. I understand that it is a very useful and simple tool. It is a great software for the study and analysis of the data of a project. Previous data debugging is relatively easy

Cons

You don't get to the end of the process, which is a classic formal report. Most companies continue to demand a final report with a signature. The option to pay freelance is expensive and the free option only allows you to work in open.

### "Data Visualization "

December 13, 2019

5.0

The class I used this program made me appreciate data visualization and how a user can visually represent a set of data so anyone looking at the visual could understand the information.

Pros

It is very user-friendly especially with a beginner in data visualization. I used this to organize a set of data from Excel and ultimately translated it visually in forms of different graphs. I was able to see patterns, trends, and outliers.

Cons

Incorrect conclusions can be made if the user isn't precise with the information they input. Especially when working with bar graphs and naming perspective axis. It can be very complex if user does not have much experience with the software.

### "Wonderful tool for data visualization and also for basic reporting by creating good dashboards."

February 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

Very easy to use, Fast to learn as lots of videos are available. We can also clean our data with this tool. Graphs in this tool are of a different level and also inbuilt R package provides good analytical support as well.

Cons

The main problem with this product is that it hangs a lot when processing a big file. Sometimes dashboards do not look great, so there are limited options for changing the graphs. Also selecting the columns in metrics are also sometimes confusing.

### "So far excellent"

May 18, 2017

5.0

Pros

Easy to use, powerful data analysis, and quick, performance, used across many industries yet still compatible with various data source. This is widely used across many industries so it will be easily supported by groups and help desk

Cons

Learning curve, prices, and better , the instructional material needs to be better formatted so it is quick like more video, this getting too long to write so let me say that this software may have competition to other similar p\[roducts

### "Packed with features, Tableau is a useful audit software"

November 9, 2019

5.0

I have been able to categorize and analyze data using a variety of charts and graphs. These visual aids help me better see where to focus efforts.

Pros

Tableau allows users to input data from a variety of sources, such as Excel sheets, text files, PDFs, and others. Pulling this data, Tableau can sort the information using metrics - for instance, sales can be sorted by date, region, customer, and so on. Using the color feature, charts can be easily modified to quickly identify important metrics. Sales, for example, can be colored by their profitability, with blue being profitable and red/orange being unprofitable. This allows a user to determine specific accounts and customers to be focused on. This is particularly useful during an audit when those analyzing data need to determine outliers and potentially erroneous accounts and assertions.

Cons

Tableau has a such an extensive set of features that it is a bit overwhelming for a new user - I feel I am not getting as much out of the software as I could be

### "Möglichkeit zur Live Steuerung von großen Mengen"

September 12, 2022

5.0

Die Benutzer-/ Bediener-freundlichkeit ist sehr gut, dadurch hat die Einführung nur wenige Wochen gedauert.

Pros

Wir bearbeiten 8.000 Aufträge pro Monat für einen großen Telekommunikationsanbieter. Alle 15 Minuten werden meine KPI aktualisiert, sodass ich sofort erkenne wo ich eingreifen muss. Die größten Vorteile dabei sind die Geschwindigkeit und die einfache anpassung der Auswertungen.

Cons

Fehlende Möglichkeiten der Visualisierung. Wir haben diverse KPIs auf verschiedenen Arbeisblättern, können diese aber nicht automatisiert durchlaufen lassen.

### "The Industry Standard BI Tool"

February 23, 2017

5.0

Even the Google Datastudio team use Tableau, that says it all. Tableau is the industry standard for a reason. Incredibly steep learning curve but the connectors (anything with an API) as well as custom data source support are beyond compare. No other competing product comes close. If you can master the art of creating visualization notebooks with Tableau, you'll become a lynchpin in your organization.

Pros

Connectors and visualizations for, literally, everything.

Cons

Incredibly difficult to use. Learning curve is super steep for anyone who is not a data analyst.
