### "Powerful but with a learning curve"

August 30, 2018

4.0

Pros

Lots of flexibility with data visualization and the ability to share and download project code from other users. Very powerful toolset.

Cons

The learning curve can be intimidating and because of the time involved in building out solutions I've had to use other tools to build something quicker. With time I'm sure I could build a framework but time is often a luxury when it comes to project deadlines and reporting.

The performance decreases gradually while working with complex and large datasets and this is something that can be improved.

### "Great Visualization Tool"

October 22, 2019

5.0

Overall, it's a great tool. The ability to refresh data is really useful and once you can create charts it's ideal.

Pros

Tableau is a great visualization tool that also has the ability to directly connect to many data sources which makes updating reports/graphs very easy.

Cons

Basic visualizations are incredibly easy to make but more complex and layered visualizations become difficult. Some complex charts you can easily make using Excel charts can be fairly difficult with Tableau.

### "User-friendly data visualisation tool"

March 14, 2019

3.0

We visualize alot of our internal data using Tableau, and with that we can determine our most important targets, and look at upcoming trends.

Pros

We use Tableau to display our business intelligence data, and for that, it works great. All types of visualization are present and you can customize all of them in whatever way you want. You can mix and match data from different data sources, even within the same widget.

Cons

The interface takes some getting used to. Also setting up your first data source and graph is best done by following a tutorial. Once you know how it works, it because a lot simpler.

### "The tool which can transform your data into insights"

March 9, 2021

4.0

Whether your company is large scale, medium or start up I hope Tableau is your best option for getting business insights out of your data.

Pros

Tableau dashboards are one of the main ways of analyzing and visualizing data within our organization. What I like the most about Tableau is it's compatibility with many devices.

Cons

Needs expert knowledge or training for a first time user for setting up, creating dashboards as well as for troubleshooting.

### "Data analysis and charts made easy"

December 21, 2018

4.0

I have used it to analyze big data and make dashboards to present data to my stakeholders

Pros

I like tableau as it helps manage big amounts of data and then analyse them to my needs which is really difficult in excel. What I also like about it is that it lets me plot the data into pretty dashboards and charts which are easier to understand for the wider audience

Cons

I think the help can be made a bit easier for new users to get familiar and proficient at using the software

### "Data Visualization"

August 11, 2020

5.0

We are able to tell better stories with our data, and reduce time to make decisions.

Pros

You don't need to be a Big Data analyst to know how to use Tableu, it is super simplified. With Tableu I don't find data intimidating at all, it enables me to prepare reports that are easy to follow and impressive to my bosses.

Cons

I feel like there are so many features that it is easy to get lost in them all, I have used it for over a year and I still can't say I've mastered it 100%

### "Best data visualization software on the market"

June 7, 2017

5.0

Pros

Tableau has helped my company translate our complex data into actionable insights. I've tried many other business intelligence/data visualization softwares and this one is by far the best in terms of functionality, ease of use and community support. The custom geocoding and map features helps us analyze shipping costs and product performance.

Cons

Price could be prohibitive for a small business and large complex data sets slow down some features.

### "Love its functionality, but steep learning curve"

March 8, 2018

4.0

Received some great training from a Tableau representative, which definitely helped, and the support so far has been great.

Pros

This is a very powerful program, and can save hours of time that I used to spend in Excel. The "Show Me" function makes visualizing data a piece of cake.

Cons

This program has so much functionality that it takes a lot of work and effort to be able to access its full potential. It helps if you are familiar with Pivot Tables and writing formulas in Excel, and the good news is that there are a ton of communities out there so anything you want to know can be found by running a simple Google search.
