### "Flexible, Powerful Analytics Tool"

May 18, 2020

5.0

Tableau is a great tool to use for data analytics.

Pros

Tableau integrates well with various data sources. The user interface offers a good deal of options to view your data from different perspectives and at different levels. I have worked extensively with Excel pivot tables but Tableau takes data visualization to the next level.

Cons

The extensive options can be overwhelming at times but the hover-over explanations are extremely helpful.

### "amazing way of showing your data"

January 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau enables you to run neat looking reports and functional dashboard which present the date you feed it. Presenting the data in Excel might be sometimes enough, but in case there is more data to process or you want to have in nicer form this is great tool to use

Cons

Working with Tableau is bit harder in the beginning but once you get the hang of it, it becomes very useful tool.

### "Excellent Data Visualization"

December 4, 2019

5.0

Tableau is incredibly useful to show upper management the data points that are important to them.

Pros

There are many features that are useful. It connects to almost all databases, a wide variety of charts and graphs can be made, it can blend data, and it is multi-platform.

Cons

The price for the software can be quite expensive. The graphs can also become difficult to read as the graphs become more complex.

Anything you can think about doing Tableau can accomplish. Tableau can allow your team solve any problem, time is the only factor.

### "Great Dashboard Creating Tool"

November 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

I really like how clean data is presented in this software. It is easy to use and interpret. If you want to create a dashboard to present data, Tableau is your way to go.

Cons

I did not like that the usage of Tableau is not that extent, and there are other softwares that can do everything Tableau can do and much more (Excel for example)

### "Self-service, easy-to-use"

September 2, 2016

4.5

Pros

I was inexperienced in using any sort of analytics tool before I started using Tableau. Tableau taught me how to build insightful and impactful reports. I rarely even had to use a user guide - it was so intuitive.

Cons

I don't have many negative things to say about Tableau. It's at a high cost, though.

### "Amazing software for data visualization "

May 23, 2019

5.0

I did two major research projects using Tableau and I am very satisfied.

Pros

It's very easy to learn and use. You can use a variety of colors and other features in your graphs and charts. It does not take much time to build even a complex chart or graph in Tableau due to its ready-to-use features. And the charts and graph visually attractive.

Cons

Sometimes, some forms of charts or graphs are disabled for some specific type of data.

### "Tableau Review"

December 8, 2022

5.0

Overall it has been helpful to learn and navigate this application with my job role.

Pros

The ability to view various data in one single visualization. It is nice for teams to see the data rather than to just read it.

Cons

I've found that these visualizations can often get messed up. Sometimes data will be showing wrong and it will take a while for us to realize.

### "It is the combination of powerpoint and Excel!"

December 15, 2017

5.0

Pros

very easy to use and contains many useful features to maximize analytical results stemming from data

Cons

takes a while to a master and formatting data can be an issue. Wish it would automatically format excel documents to fit required tableau analytical tools.

### "Developer point of view"

November 9, 2015

5.0

Pros

Amazing solutions, each and every new version they get out is just amazing. The tool is fast and easy to use, at least better than the others that I have used so far. Version 9 really puts it easy on table connections, and the visualization output gets me a lot of compliments.

Cons

Would love it to have a better server UI for accessing reports from the outside and from mobile, though they actually made it mobile friendly last time I have checked, Didn't have the time to use it though

October 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love the dashboard capabilities in Tableau and the ease of use. I was able to quickly learn the tool within 3 months and design solutions for my department.

### "Great Dashboard Integration"

July 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

I switched companies recently and have begun using Tableau for reports and dashboards, it has been an adjustment but I think it is an excellent resource and addition to Salesforce reports. I think they are different, but in an awesome way that compliments each other.

Cons

I am much more familiar with Salesforce, so the learning curve has been the only con for me so far.

October 11, 2020

5.0

Overall it is a great software for beginners and students in the field of data analysis and BI.

Pros

It is very user friendly software which provides visualization charts just through drag and drop method. It is very easy to import various types of data sources, create charts and dashboards.

Cons

It is comparitively expensive. Due to which students rarely consider purchasing it. Also, there may be security issues with Tableau public.

### "Tableau is a valuable data science tool with robust visualization"

September 6, 2016

4.0

Pros

Tableau is one of the best tools out there for visualizing your data. While building basic profits and sales charts are definitely in it's wheelhouse, it really shines the more data points you gather on your customers. Being able to track customers by location as well as lifetime profit value as helped direct our advertising efforts.

Cons

Just like a swiss army knife, you may not need all of it's features, and that can be a little overwhelming. It can be hard to find the documentation for specific features if you don't know how to ask the question. I recommend using their support team and the training instead of just jumping into it.

### "Data visualization"

May 27, 2020

4.0

I used it to represent the budget data by their geographical region, by gender, etc. factors that made boring data look very interesting.

Pros

Its ability to take any kind of data and represent it in the pictorial format makes it easy to understand data very quickly and efficiently.

Cons

You should know how to use the software in order to get the correct visualization as there are lots of ways available that can be used to represent the data.

### "I have used tableau both professionally as well as in my graduate academic pursuits."

November 30, 2017

5.0

Pros

Tableau provides a drag and drop interface that can help to visualize large amounts of data. As someone who codes, the graphics that tableau produces are much more finished and complete looking than most graph outputs I have historically created. It allows for a wide variety of graphs as well as data manipulation within the tool.

Cons

Tableau is a bit expensive for all that it entails. I've had several employers begin moving away from Tableau in favor of cheaper or open source items. Since Tableau has so much functionality and flexibility it is not always easy to understand how to achieve your design goals. In addition, the software tries to make assumptions about what type of graph you are trying to produce, and these are not always correct, which can be annoying and cumbersome.

### "Excellent tool"

April 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

I'm late to the Tableau game, but I recently started using it and I'm impressed with it's functionality. To be clear, I'm sure I have only barely scratched the surface, and I am primarily just using dashboards that others have already created, but that said I have found it to be very useful in quickly figuring out what the "story" is behind my data.

Cons

It may be an issue with the way the specific dashboard I occasionally use was designed, but I've found some data display issues when using it on computers with lower resolution screens (I'm guessing the dashboard was designed on a computer with a higher resolution). This resulted in some data not displaying unless specifically hovered over with a mouse.

### "Tableau does great things."

April 11, 2019

3.0

From the start we were unimpressed with their sales rep's interaction with us. Every other BI Software tool reached out to us and seemed genuinely interested in what we needed in order to be successful, but Tableau failed to even return phone calls, and once they learned we were running an internal comparison against their peers, they just walked. For this reason they did not even make it into the final 3.

Pros

The visualizations are perfect, just what you need and plenty of options to choose from. Everything has a great color scheme and designs blend well. Powerful tools allow you to customize everything and control your data securely.

Cons

Did not like the interaction with the Tableau sales team. They were arrogant and not interested in partnering with us for success, only selling to get the commission. For this reason they failed our Bake-off and lost out to a competitor.

### "A great visualization tool"

July 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

With Tableau, you can perform complex data visualization in an intuitive, drag and drop manner. And the customer support is very helpful if you have questions about the software.

Cons

If you need to connect Tableau to a database, you may need to have some IT background or know how to use SQL in order to process the data efficiently and accurately. And the software is kind of expensive to purchase.

### "Have been working with Tableau for a year. Started with desktop version."

March 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's very user-friendly and powerful. If you do not code at all, you can still create beautiful charts in a second. If you do code, you can connect your data source residing in different databases or add script in it.

Cons

Sometimes it's confusing when you decide dimensions or rows. It took me a while to figure out when I should drag metrics to color and when i should just add to dimension or row.
