### "Great overall tool!"

July 15, 2017

5.0

This is a great tool I have yet fully learned to use, I am looking forward to exploring some more advanced features and see what the outcome could be.

Pros

Part of the things I have liked the most is the ability to easily drag and drop the tabs into the different areas of the software and automatically react to it generating an instant visualization very easy to understand.

Cons

Sometimes when updating the positioning of the information in the panes doesn't fully update automatically being forced to use the Command+Z tool until reverting the whole process and having to almost start over.

### "Out BI analyst has been using Tableau for over a year. "

May 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

data virtualization is much better than what traditional BI vendors can offer. Data visualization is very intuitive (drag and drop) and very interactive. It also works on mobile which is a great feature!

Cons

Enterprise level pricing is very expensive and is a limitation for organizations. You must be an IT wizard to be able to get the settings correct.

### "Robust Data Analysis Tool"

December 4, 2020

4.0

It is a great program for those that need a robust system that handles a lot of complex data.

Pros

This is a true professional data analysis tool with many robust features. It can be set up so that end users can customize the data and reports they want to see with all the data you have loaded.

Cons

Because it is so robust, it is not something you can easily jump into. You will need training. It is also fairly expensive.

### "Tableau is one of the best BI suite on the market"

April 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

As a server administrator I was impressed the modularity, stability and the management tools of the server components. It is growing in features, connectors and features on each release.

Cons

Tableau certified trainings are highly suggested to be able to fully maintain a farm of Tableau servers in a high load scenario.

### "Tableau Review "

June 12, 2019

5.0

I use this for work to visualize some of our data and easily pull data about specific criteria regarding our alumni.

Pros

Tableau is relatively easy to visualize data. It can display your information in easy to understand images, graphs, etc. so that you can get a better understanding.

Cons

It does take a little bit of time to learn Tableau and also to become more proficient with it.

### "A versatile tool for basic needs - gets the job done!"

May 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

I used the personal desktop plan, which made it really easy to analyze large data sets on a laptop. the device designer feature helps design, customize, and publish optimized dashboards for desktop, tablet, or phone, which was quite useful for my particular goal.

Cons

Not all sources can be linked to, at least with the personal plan. I believe the professional option features more connections. However, if you need to step aside from Google Sheets, JSON, and the like, this tool might need upgrading or might not be the right one for your needs.

### "Can't live without Tableau when it comes to BI"

August 22, 2018

5.0

Meeting the demands for business analytics and solving problems with big data.

Pros

Has some unmatched features and functionality that I have not found with other competing software. Makes some really attractive/descriptive/intuitive dashboards.

Cons

Not very easy to use if you are just getting started with using BI tools. Some minor bugs in the software that I discovered, but nothing worth specifically mentioning.

### "Robust, beautiful way to analyze and display data"

July 27, 2019

5.0

We use tableau for monthly operational KPI tracking, map visualizations and more.

Pros

Tableau is still one of the most visually appealing tools to create charts, graphs, and robust visualizations. The training resources and support is phenomenal, and the public version makes the software accessible to everyone.

Cons

It is expensive for organizations to use, and can have a big learning curve when getting started.

### "World's Best Software for making Visualizations and Interactive Dashboards"

November 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

The level of customization one can achieve with Tableau is mind blowing. It has functionalities such as heat map that no other software comes close to.

Cons

I think it is a little bit expensive compared to its next competitor (Power BI). Although Tableau is a lot more powerful, it might be a bit difficult to justify the price to higher management.

### "Great support"

November 28, 2018

4.0

Our team is using tableau in our platform for data analysis to provide manager users crunched numbers and graphs for periodical decision making. I helped integrate our project with tableau (embedded in our page html files). Overall a good experience with nice results and happy users.

Pros

Any difficulties or questions were resolved very comfortably with a representative from Tableau. Recent experience was related to clarifications on how to obtain certain results given our raw data. Very good looking dashboards and graphs. Relatively easy to learn and use (cca 4 weeks to get alot out of it)

Cons

Grapevine complaints about price. Came with high expectations from management. Some interfaces could be more intuitive.

### "Great Software!"

December 10, 2019

5.0

It is great for displaying detailed data you gathered to your superiors. The options are endless so you can create tables etc. to however you want it.

Pros

Great product, you can be as creative as you want and the possibilities are endless. You can make your graph more detailed than what you could do in Excel. Once I understood it, it's fun to use.

Cons

I took a class in college to learn this program for my job. I couldn't have done this without that class. It is VERY hard to grasp, I think halfway through the semester (2 1/2 months) I really started to grasp the program.

### "Allow your data to talk to people"

December 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

One of the biggest issues with raw data is that people do not always see its significance. This allows you to put it in a way that means more to most people.

Cons

Hard to understand it all at first but becomes easier as you go on.

June 15, 2017

5.0

Pros

This is extremely useful when creating personalized dashboards that are needing to be shared on different platforms. What I like most about it, is that I can link this to my excel files and schedule this to update automatically.

Cons

I wish there was a little bit more freedom and personalization in the dashboards. I would like to perform a more in depth analysis in this software.
