### "Tableau"

May 27, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau is a very user friendly reporting GUI. The access to different queries can easily be granted to the appropriate management and the reports can easily be pulled and analyzed. Tableau is one of the best reporting GUI i have used.

Cons

There are some cases when there are back end issues in granting the access to the query which creates problem in executing the queries and delays the process.

Analyze trends over time. Dig through big data sets. Discover patterns .

Pros

Tableau has several great features to plot sets of data and keep track of trends over time. Lots of online resources makes for many chances to learn new tricks

Cons

Expensive product makes it off limits to a lot of people. There is always the online version though. Also tough to pick up in the beginning

October 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

This product is great for a analytical mind or any business trying to drill down even further. Great tool for the tool belt

Cons

I wish there was more instructed led or tutorials on this product. There is so much that it can do that you don't know unless you google or youtube it.

### "A very powerful tool! "

February 15, 2019

5.0

This tool has been great for reporting data on our recruiting metrics!

Pros

I recently started using Tableau for my position and it's safe to say it's been an easy journey so far! The visualization tools are amazing. The dashboard building has been easy to pick up with so many features to choose from. This tool has made my job a lot easier to present data to colleagues on the team.

Cons

I can see how Tableau can get confusing when first starting out with all the capabilities and features it provides. Like the title says, it's a very powerful tool. I think taking a tutorial first would be very helpful!

### "Analytics with Tableau"

November 7, 2022

4.0

Pros

Data analysis and dashboard become easy and funny with this tool, and modern features like drag and drop make it easier to use

Cons

I did not find any cons, maybe sometimes it does not update the data automatically, and need some refreshing

### "An answer to an ongoing need"

September 16, 2017

4.0

There are probably better programs out there but if you are looking for an affordable solution and one with a great team backing it - definitely give Tableau a chance in your research of a BI tool.

Pros

Drag and drop user interface makes data management much easier than ever before. With Tableau you essentially can view results in a matter of seconds from each additional layer or section of data you add to your dashboard or KPI's.

Cons

Even though it is an easy program to learn, it takes time to invest in it's entire capability (just like any other program). You'll also want to make sure you are familiar with data to start with.

### "Deeper analytics and trends"

November 22, 2019

4.0

We needed to see deeper analytics and research to our business.

Pros

Some dashboards that we can't see in Salesforce, we have looked for other resources. Tableau has just about everything we need in this category and it helps us dissect our business needs.

Cons

I wish that there was some more integration with other softwares so that we could leverage all data in one place.

### "If you need a business intelligence system this is the best solution"

January 22, 2020

5.0

The most helpful are: visualization, dashboards and data sharing.

Pros

I like everything about visualization in this software. I've never used any other software before where dashboards could be created so easily. You can publish these dashboards from desktop to mobile device or web browser.

Cons

A bit slow when the data is large. Also I've noticed some delay with reports and slowly integrates with databases.

### "Great for Visualizations"

June 3, 2021

5.0

Can't complain much about this software considering the documentation and YouTube videos they have on it.

Pros

I love this to make my data dynamic and interactive. You can connect it to spreadsheets, use sql, and you can create these beautiful visual storytelling graphs.

Cons

It can be kind of expensive and there's also a learning curve. But with that being said, once you get passed that learning curve it's easy breezy.

### "Tableau Review "

December 2, 2019

5.0

It takes a lot of work and time to get comfortable with Tableau, but it is a powerful and enjoyable tool to use.

Pros

There are a ton you can do with this software. It creates great charts and images for presentations while still providing the important information.

Cons

It is very complicated. There are not a lot of tolls to help guide you through how to accomplish something, but one you figure it out, it is amazing.

### "Useful and fun visualization tool"

July 31, 2014

3.5

Pros

I like how Tableau can connect to so many different data sources, whether it's connecting to a text file, an excel file, a database using SQL, etc. I like how you can connect live and Tableau updates as your data updates. I also like the visualization; it's a very appealing design. The global filters are very helpful in allowing you to update all your worksheets at once. The graphs turn out very cool-looking! There is a lot of support out there from Tableau user groups.

Cons

Formatting is a pain. If I'm trying to change the font, change text into a dollar format, etc., I have to go into each graph and change it manually. I really wish you could apply a global format. Adjusting graphs on a dashboard is kind of confusing, with all the different containers and such.

### "The premiere data visualization Software"

March 26, 2020

5.0

Overall, Tableau is the premiere data visualization software. People may know and use Power BI, but Tableau's marketing and design boost it slightly above the edge.

Pros

Great graphic design Good customer support Can seamlessly integrate and transfer files to other apps

Cons

The learning curve is slightly steep. Expect to spend a few hours/days/weeks learning some of the important features.

### "Tableau Data Sources Are Handy Dandy "

April 12, 2019

5.0

I think I would benefit from learning more about navigating Tableau and then I am sure I would find it even more helpful!

Pros

I like the fact that we have a secure server which holds our heavier data with an easy to use search function.

Cons

Sometimes because of the size of the data source Tableau can be known for long loading times. This can affect my ability to provide fast and efficient support to my customers.

### "I leverage Tableau at work to check out metrics related to account coverage"

March 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software gives you great insights into the information you'd like to see that isnt normally available through something like Salesforce. This allows me to adjust my strategy based on data vs feelings

Cons

It can be difficult to get the software set up and delivering relevant data due to the complexity of getting the reports to run correct.

### "Great product to help my organization!"

September 9, 2016

3.5

Pros

It's rather simple to learn and really gave me valuable info to help my organization. I found that the visualization of data was especially helpful.

Cons

The thing that I liked least about the product was that you need good hardware to run on it. When we first tried using it on just slightly older or lower performance machines we had trouble. Once we used it on more advanced machines it really performed well and the computer worked much better overall.

Academic experience, to carry out university work

Pros

It was easy to use so the learning curve was fast, allows the handling of large amount of information.
