### "Best Data Visuals Out There"

July 12, 2022

5.0

Takes data and makes it easy to read, digest and understand!

Pros

I have worked with folks in other organizations who use Tableau and they produced incredible visuals. We just got a free sample and are playing around. There is nothing as good, that we have seen.

Cons

It's expensive. This will be a hard purchase, since we are a school system.

### "Tableau"

February 12, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau has been revolutionary to our department when analyzing data. It creates a visual picture of mass amounts of data we sift through on a daily basis in order to tell a story about what is happening with the business and where we're going.

Cons

The only con i can think of is the complexity of the software, due to the sheer amount of functionality that it has. It takes an extensive amount of training and practice exercises to get a grasp of everything Tableau can do.

### "Great data visualization, great for business level, could improve exporting/importing"

August 8, 2018

4.0

Best usage on Tableau: Tracking trends, viewing employee progress and activity, and pipeline tracking

Pros

Tableau is a great platform for visualizing data, creating views, making decisions and reports. This is across the board for any business/operations use. Great for trends!

Cons

Sometimes, the integration does not pull the most recent data and updates take a long time (from the initial change) for some views and needs- specifically account information/detail - can't fully rely on Tableau's stats.

### "A great product for the end user"

July 8, 2019

4.0

Pros

As a self service tool tableau offers a great product, using data that you know making it easy to upload and then you can for sure take the advantage of all the pretty visualizations and graphics for your analysis.

Cons

I keep struggling when it comes to transform or integrate data together, like an ETL process is where it can get tricky and you may need help of an experienced consultant, not impossible but harder than you may think.

### "Hard to Use, Costs An Arm And A Leg, But Features Galore"

October 7, 2018

4.0

I have problems getting started with making more complex visualizations that incorporate SQL "Group By"s.

Pros

I love how Tableau allows me to perform cross-database joins in an extremely simple & intuitive interface. They also allow you to create datasources by writing SQL directly in the software.

Cons

The features come at a price. The software is EXTREMELY costly for the enterprise (people within the organization have to pay to view a dashboard), and in order for your organization to make the most out of the software, you should hire a Tableau expert/Data Analyst first. The visualisation aspect of this software is also tough to get started on.

### "Great Data Visualization Tool for Beginners"

August 10, 2020

5.0

Overall it is a great tool with easy way for building visualization, dashboards.

Pros

There is no coding. You can just import any kind of data (csv, tab delimited, excel, R, Python, Azure, SQL, etc). Most of the viz are drag and drop. On the go calculated fields is another important feature where you can create new fields based on conditions

Cons

Pricing. Free Trail is for period of 15 days and possibly they extend for another 15 days and if you are a student, you will get 1 year of free subscription. But for bigger companies, cost is high. And feasibility of adding other SQL database into tableau and publishing the visualization is not easy.

### "Tableau impressive software packs a punch"

September 8, 2019

5.0

Just learned some basics in a 1 hour tutorial and was quickly surprised at how much it could do with little prior experience with the software. May incorporate this as I generate more data in my studies and need to present at conferences

Pros

Ease of use to quickly create data visualizations, with helpful suggestions for layout and presentation provided to user almost immediately. Just learned some basics in a 1 hour tutorial and was quickly surprised at how much it could do with little prior experience with the software. May incorporate this as I generate more data in my studies and need to present at conferences

Cons

Just that my university doesn't routinely use this (although between school of public health and other data sciences at Emory I feel this could be quite useful to know about) and had never taught or introduced this software where it could be relevant

February 3, 2022

4.0

Overall I think there would be wider adoption wi the better support of the product

Pros

This product helps to get quicker insights to data by displaying reports visually that were previously in Excel.

March 15, 2020

5.0

I still have a lot to learn with Tableau, but the tool is very powerful.

Pros

Tableau is very advanced. I am able to run many different types of analyses. In addition to that, this software makes it easy to visualize the data in a way that everyone can understand.

Cons

Tableau has a steep learning curve. Also, in order to have Tableau's full capabilities, the company would need to utilize the rest of Tableau's product line like Tableau Server.

### "A comprehensive data analytics platform that consolidates our BI"

September 6, 2019

4.0

centralize BI in one place. Dig deep into the data and extract the insights in a timely manner.

Pros

You can consolidate various sources of data, and splice the information easily. I also like that we can receive key reports via email on a regular basis.

Cons

it is difficult to navigate and get started on the platform. requires some training before you can be let loose on the platform and create your own reports.
