I would say that Tableau is a great tool for data visualization, one of the best.

Easy to get started and very nice visualization, many features and allows for very detail customization

5.0

Pros

It is amazing software. It allows for facilitates excellent data visualisation that has helped me a lot when presenting the results of data analysis.

Cons

Inevitably when dealing with unfamiliar software, it takes a bit of time and commitment to learn how to use it. But once you are past that hurdle, it is very good.

### "Complex but Impressive"

May 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

very good job at turning your data into actionable information. i use this for Adwords to further assess our quantitative analysis, and Tableau has made organizing data quite useful, allowing us to make further decisions that we have not noticed otherwise.

Cons

the learning curve takes quite some time. i understand the complexity and nature of the software, but i still think some parts could be made simpler, or easier to learn.

### "Tableau is one of the top data visualization tools on the market today"

November 17, 2018

5.0

I work for an organization that does custom tableau application development and have been very impressed with the core features and user interface of tableau. I initially was apprehensive about learning to use the new tool as I am not super technical but it was a breeze to use, whether creating or consuming.

Pros

The visualizations offered by tableaus latest version are top tier in the marketplace. The geoanalytics capabilities beat the competition and the UI is among the easiest to learn for newcomers and executives alike.

Cons

This is a great application that offers impressive out of the box functionality, as well as endless customizable options. There is nothing I don’t like about Tableau.

### "Point and Click solution for Data Analytics"

April 18, 2021

4.0

Pros

There was a very small learning curve to get started with Tableau. You can easily create elements of your dashboards with little or no coding involved and then simply drag-and-drop those elements to your main dashboard and set them however you like. Tableau handles data seamlessly and deals with different data types quite easily.

Cons

There is little to dislike about the software because of how easy it is to use. Sometimes it might not properly read the date and time in correct format which requires you to manually fix the data type of the column, but its not a difficult task.

### "Tableau : an useful dataviz tool"

November 15, 2023

4.0

Pros

After few hours of training... it's not very difficult to handle the tool and create dashboard...

Cons

The administration of the server can be sometimes long for update a version (multiple version are relasing by year : minor and major).

### "Easiest Calculated Values Around"

January 19, 2024

4.0

Pros

The ability to create calculated values is unmatched. In other data viz software, creating a calculated value can be tricky or require some sort of coding knowledge. In Tableau it's much easier to do this and it has made using Tableau a great experience as that is one of the major pain points this has addressed for us.

Cons

I find it easier to create dashboards in other software sometimes, but it's a small price to pay for easier functionality on the data side.

### "Ingesting data made easy"

April 13, 2019

5.0

Super easy to use solution for people who arent technical to understand a visual representation of data

Pros

For non technical folks, it can be hard to ingest data Aka see what it means tangible versus what's on paper. I think tableau allows for us to see a visualization of numbers into charts diagrams etc easily!

Cons

Wish there was more explanation on how to use the tool or create simple reports for non technical people. A general training if you may

### "A user's review - Tableau"

August 12, 2020

5.0

Data serves a great purpose in growing our business. Tableau helped us understand what needs to be addressed and put it into action.

Pros

This is the fastest data analytics software I have ever used. It helped our business analyze data into powerful information to grow our business.

Cons

It is quite intimidating to use at first but if you take some time to look around its features, you will easily navigate everything and manipulate data into meaningful info

### "Powerful data visualization at your fingertips"

October 27, 2019

4.0

Coming from organizations using other BI tools in the past and not having one until we began implementing Tableau, I'm excited about what we'll be able to build with it and how we'll be able to use it to assist us in making informed decisions based on accessing our data in more ways than we have before.

Pros

So far it has been pretty easy to pick up using excel as a data source. I'm looking forward to getting it connected to our database for much more seamless data access.

Cons

The cost looks like it can get expensive fast as you scale. That caused a small bit of concern but it will be a while until we're at the point where that scale impacts us.

### "Great for fast plotting"

July 5, 2022

4.0

I’m learning to Dashboard with Tableau. The Tableau community is huge, and the product is widely used

Pros

I love the drag-and-drop structure for creating visualizations. It makes it incredibly fast to create basic plots. There’s a very low learning curve for accomplishing the basics.

Cons

Compare to scripting languages like Python and R, Tableau provides less control over detailed plot formatting features

### "Tableau Review"

September 24, 2020

3.0

There is a learning curve and you're locked into a specific design. It is a clean design at the end.

Pros

The design aspect is good and easy to refresh and upload data. I like how there's a community form to ask questions.

Cons

There is a learning curve to this product. You are locked to the Tableau design and hard to figure out which row/column you're working on when there's multiple options. It has corrupted my original data files before.
