### "Beautiful designs, but not easy to use. "

December 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that Tableau makes it easy to put graphs online through the embed feature. The tooltip pop-ups are super cool and it makes the end product look professional.

Cons

I don't think that the product excels in doing the easy stuff. I was working on showing relationships between three different variables and ultimately I gave up. It is a great product as long as what you're doing isn't very complicated.

### "Create stunning data visualizations but at a price "

July 16, 2018

4.0

Worth the price for the ability to create such stunning visuals.

Pros

The biggest pro of Tableau is the program's ability to create stunning visuals (diagrams, charts, graphics, etc) for your data and business intelligence. Not far behind this pro though is its ease of use. Creating the visuals and graphics is simple and intuitive without much training or experience with the program.

Cons

Tableau is costly and the pricing plans have not always been the most flexible. After the installation and set-up, my company found the customer support to be a bit lacking at times.
