### "Watch you data!"

December 10, 2020

5.0

I have been able to better understand my data sets and their relation using Tableau. I am pretty happy with this software performance.

Pros

It is very easy to use Tableau since it helps with categorizing data types automatically. You can see an overview of your data as soon as you upload them and you have many fantastic options to visualize your data for better interpretation.

Cons

I think the way data types are identified can be improved to better assign the type to each data set. Perhaps user can be asked which data type they prefer for some of the types.

### "Ideal for Data Visualization"

May 24, 2020

4.0

Pros

This is the first product we have used that allows us to join tables from different databases using the data source connections tabs. This really helps us keep track of where the data comes from especially when someone spots an anomaly.

Cons

I believe Tableau 10 is still suffering from bug issues. For example, we seem to experience issues with the connection between tabs. This error code keeps popping up "Bad Connection: Tableau could not connect to the data source. No such table" when we switch between worksheets.

### "Tableau-Rapid Fire Analytics!"

June 30, 2015

4.0

Pros

Very good customer service, product offerings range from start ups to large corporations. In the world of Business intelligence, this is one of the easiest I've seen to use and one of the most affordable.

Cons

Product elements and being able to "shape" some of the things you'd like to see can be tricky as far as whether you want something to appear as a number, text, counts, etc. Filters can be a bit temperamental based on your data sets.

### "Clear leader in data visualisation and analysis"

December 5, 2016

5.0

Tableau is the clear standout winner, in my opinion, of the current crop of data viz / reporting / visual analysis tools. Whilst it's super easy to get started with, the product is feature-rich enough to offer solutions to complex analysis needs. New versions are released regularly with functionality enhancements, and the online community is very helpful for new users.

Pros

Easy to use, easy to learn, rich set of functionality, fast on big data, integration with many data sources

### "Best visualization tool"

January 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

It is a click-and-point visualization tool, so you can get your data visualized as quick as a blink of an eye. It is so convenient to try different types of chart to see which will tell the most interesting story about your data.

Cons

It is a click-and-point tool, so it is difficult to record steps you did to create your visualization, unlike tools which you store your code. Many times it took​ me a while to revisit what I 've​ done. Thus, it requires frequent practice.

I like all of the different dashboards, reports, and visuals for viewing data. I like that you can drill down in the reports by clicking various links. The program has a clean interface.

Tableau can be veeeerrryyyy laggy. It can sometimes take 2-3 minutes for reports to load.

### "Tableau as a Dashbaording tool"

September 8, 2016

4.5

Pros

Product is easy to understand and the filters and layout is very customizable. Saves resource time who is building it once you get a hold of it. The visualizations are great, cascading dashboard feature helps to create a connected feel and still a drill down approach. Vendor is extremely responsive, even for the trial version of Tableau server the support was awesome and very fast. Also they provide initial setup support a training (for some extra cost), which is good for first time users. Also the web authorizing feature is something that is very useful, the users do not have to depend on the report developer to customize.

Cons

The pricing comes as a barrier, also if this would have supported ETL also that would have been great.
