### "Data Analytics Consultant using Tableau"

July 18, 2017

5.0

Clients are highly satisfied with the results.

Pros

Easier workflow for Data Visualization compared to other vendors. Tableau is becoming the default for this feature set like Microsoft Excel has for spreadsheets.

Cons

Limited R and Python integration. More pre-loaded custom integration and data sourcing would be great to have as well.

### "Great Visualization Software"

July 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

Tableau allows users to create excellent visualizations in order to educate others on what the data says about a situation, course, etc. The ability to interact with the data has really helped our constituents understand what they are looking at.

Cons

It can be difficult to figure out. There is training available, but it's very time consuming and expensive.

### "Simple, Functional, Practical"

December 17, 2021

4.0

Pros

Tableau is one of the easier data visualization softwares available. Though it is quite expensive to purchase, I was able to utilize a free trial. Creating a data dashboard was fairly simple, and I enjoyed the design templates that were readily available.

Cons

My main complaint is about the cost. It would be much more readily accessible to the general public if it were free or more cost-friendly.

### "Tableau is Excel on steroids"

June 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

Quickly create custom SQL codes, works with an absurd number of applications and databases including google sheets.

Cons

Can be a little daunting for a newcomer to data analytics. If you are used to SQL coding and excel, it will be a breeze.

Pros

It's a good tool to visualize data especially for KPIs, C.SAT surveys and employee rankings as well.

It takes long time to load the data and to stop updating the data before you use the filters. For some users in CRM the search filters won't show.

### "Tableau's customer support really is the main differentiator in the marketplace. "

May 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau's customer service is bar-none the best in the industry. They truly care about their customer and will do anything to help.

although overall I believe the software is worth it, it is a little expensive. I would like to see them give business discounts for more than one license at greater consistency.

5.0

My experience is great so far with Tableau. Great product with all the features that I need.

Pros

Tableau is a great tool for data analysis and visualization. The product has almost unlimited features that allow me to apply and interpret my data research the way I wanted. Tableau can handle huge amount of data and generates very decent summary reports that I use for publications.

June 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

My company uses this software to provide data and charts through the system. I like the ability to change the graphs to show hot spots

Cons

For my needs, the software is excessive, so I do not use often. If you are a data and trends person, Tableau will be right up your alley!

### "Easy to Use"

March 5, 2019

5.0

There was so many ways to get to the end result. It was intuitive and user-friendly. I found that I was able to create some quality materials that I was able to use for several projects in my MBA program.

Pros

I learned how to use Tableau last year and I found it very easy to learn how to use it. I don't have a strong background with software similar to Tableau, but I found it very user friendly.

Cons

I thought that the information from excel could have been organized a little better. It was overwhelming to search through all of that information. It could be nice if there was tabs that navigated through the excel file before going to the creation of the graph page.

### "Best and most powerful data visualization tool in the market"

February 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

I think that the feature provided by Tableau is yet to be matched by other competitors. I tried AWS QuickSight too but it was very limited in features.

Cons

Price, they can work on their pricing to attract customers in budding startups

### "Exceptional ease of use"

November 27, 2018

5.0

Perfect solution for creating customized data views to reflect data for numerous business segments.

It's a do it yourself approach to data viz. No knowledge of coding needed. Interactive nature of dashboard saves tremendous time on slicing and dicing data for customized views.

Cons

It's difficult to tie various databases together.

### "Tableau as Reporting System"

April 14, 2017

4.0

Pros

My company utilizes Tableau to store and display different kinds of internal data. I've found it to be relatively user friendly in terms of downloading and displaying data, and would recommend it to any company for those purposes.

Cons

It seems that Tableau has some difficulties with interpreting complex business rules, which limits its functionality for some higher level purposes. That said, it's possible that has as much to do with how my company utilizes Tableau as it does with the tool itself.

The visualization options are tremendous, much better than Excel or other dashboarding software that I've used.
