### "Great software for data representation"

July 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

1\. The graphs and visualizations available for representing the data. 2. Ability to apply same filters/ views to multiple sheets. 3. Story feature where you could show the same dashboard multiple times with different filters.

Cons

1\. Data input into Tableau is a little complex and you don't have a lot of flexibility in terms of the format 2. A lot of times calculated formulae don't work after applying filters/ variables and unless you do the math on your own, there's no way to find out.

### "Review Tableau"

August 25, 2020

4.0

Very good. Better than other basic visual analytics tools.

Pros

Visual Analytics and stories can be easily built. The data capture and the cleansing is much helpful for the development perspective.

Cons

When the data is huge, the application is slow and we need to wait for a longer time for the application to respond.

### "Setting up is not intuitive"

February 23, 2021

3.0

Not optimal but since the software is not too expensive, we have been quite satisfied.

Pros

When all is set after implementation, the dashboards actually look really good and are of beautiful designs.

Cons

Setting the system up takes way longer than expected and it’s not just the data connections but also the whole experience.

### "Data mapping break through"

December 15, 2021

5.0

Am very new to it but has been a great resource so far and really appreciate that there is a free version. Wish I had had more opportunity to use this while in school.

Pros

Tableau is an one of the best resources I've used for data visualization. It is has been particularly useful for outputting genome mapping trees which is a feat. Is a great resource for putting disease clusters into perspective.

Cons

Preparing the data was a bit of a learning curve as someone who was so using SAS and excel.

### "Well designed graphing/statistical analysis software"

July 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

Clean UI, quite a bit of functionality especially with the use of calculated fields. Simple to build beautiful looking graphs and dashboards.

Cons

Software can be somewhat buggy and slow at times. Doesn't handle large datasets particularly well. Formatting of source data must be done outside of the program to get consistent results.

### "Tableau Makes Data Come to Life"

December 3, 2020

5.0

Tableau is a product that I plan or leveraging for years to come. So many companies struggle to visualize their data, to get out of the 20th century and into the 21st century. This software can help them make that jump. Highly recommended.

Pros

Tableau has such a clean, user-friendly interface. It is easy to navigate and the learning curve is not a terribly steep one. I suspect users that may struggle with some of the more complex elements of Excel would definitely prefer Tableau.

Cons

I need to spend another six months or so with Tableau before I can determine which features I don't enjoy. I have been using the software for my MBA program and can't say I have too many bad things to say about it.

### "Powerful Data Tool"

April 2, 2020

4.0

My overall experience with Tableau is to make data tables for HR analytics.

Pros

What I like most about this software is its ability to collate and collect data into a format that can be massaged.

Cons

What I like least about this software is that it can be daunting to use if you have no experience with data analytics.

September 10, 2019

### "Great Reporting & Visualisation Tool"

August 10, 2018

5.0

Downloading and using Tableau excel has been a solid experience, usually what I do is toss some data into it and see what's it capable of and it certainly makes data analysis easier than most other visualisation tools I've used in the past.

Pros

It does a fantastic job of mixing datas from various sources. I also love the simple drag and drop interface with auto recommendations that helps you get results right away. It does have a bit of a learning curve but the amount of tutorials available on the web, it shouldn't be an issue.

Cons

If I have a lot of applications open on my desktop, Tableau seems to get a bit laggy and it tends to does this quite a bit.

### "One of the best BI tool"

March 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tableau is a great tool to automate reports, visualize data. Takes some time to set up but it saves a lot of time later on. It's easy to manage dashboard, share access, add data sources.

Cons

A bit annoying that can't adjust notifications, but that's minor.

### "This is a really good software to visualize your data"

January 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

If you work on a data-driven project, then chances are that you have a lot of complex data. Tableau makes it really simple to visualize the data so that you can easily make sense of it.

Cons

It may take some time to learn this software. But that is probably the case with any other software.

### "I want to like Tableau"

January 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

The presentation of the data was clean, crisp, and easily navigable.

Cons

For some reason Tableau has a hard time with Firefox browser. It's a real pain in the butt to have to change to another browser, log in, and then try to view the data again.

### "Beautiful and Insightful Dashboards!"

February 22, 2020

4.0

I really like Tableau! It allows us to present data in different ways visually so it allows the end user to understand the main takeaways easily.

Pros

\- As a new user, I can say that I have found it pretty easy to learn how to use this software. A lot of the software is drag and drop so you don't have to be very technical to use it - You are able to create beautiful yet insightful data visualizations - So many tools and capabilities; I love how you can connect it to different types of data sources

Cons

\- Large files takes a while to load and sometimes it will crash which is inconvenient. Since there is no auto-save function, you can lose your work if it crashes
