### "Difficult to Use But Very Powerful"

January 3, 2020

5.0

Tableau has allowed me to create professional-looking displays of data I have collected.

Pros

Tableau is a powerful data visualization software that lets you plot all kinds of data into various graphs and charts. Its greatest strength is its flexibility to accept almost any kind of data and form them into displays with each other.

Cons

It is not very intuitive to use and usually requires searching online for an explanation. Tableau is not that well documented online, though, so this is difficult.

### "Tableau review"

September 9, 2019

5.0

Pros

1) Official 30-minute tutorial gives an overview of the software and helps users understand its functions. 2) Displaying data geographically (if applicable) is realy awesome.

Cons

The equation and R-square does not automatically show beside the trendline, which really bothers me.

### "Enterprise product with great value for money"

June 7, 2021

4.0

Overall good. Good value for money even though it's not that cheap.

Pros

The feature richness, visualization options and confivurability. The dashboarding options really go beyond many competitors.

Cons

To keep it simple; the branding. Especially for users that are not that visually oriented the dashboards can look quite messy and unprofessional due to the lack of design and branding consistency. Easy to make a great and informative dashboard less visually appealing than it needs to be...

### "Tableau Review"

October 3, 2020

5.0

Overall, Tableau is a good software, but needs a few more options to carry out basic computing before displaying the data.

Pros

Tabelau has a lot of different charts for easy and clean viewing of data. The numerous options helps visualize different datasets.

Cons

Tableau has very less computing options and is strictly meant for visualizing data.

### "Expensive, but useful"

January 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is helping to see data from a diferent angle than what we are used to. It helps to see hidden important information that would take a lot of time otherwise

Cons

It is a little too complicated to create visuals, so it would take a while to get proficient on the software

### "Tableau"

May 15, 2019

4.0

Tableau is a significantly better data visualization tool than any other I've used

Pros

Intuitive to use, low initial time investment to learn

Cons

the user interface is frustrating occasionally, as is the publishing mechanism, but honestly this is mostly in comparison to how easy the rest is

### "Helps our team analyze data"

October 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

We use this to analyze the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns as based on web analytics, purchases, etc. I love the UI, the interface is fun and easy to use. Overall, the product is nice.

Cons

I'm not a data analyst so sometimes I am overwhelmed with the options and ways the splice data. It's difficult to focus on one data point that is easy to understand. This is more suited for people looking to do complex analysis of many different data points.

### "Best qualtiy software for data analysis"

November 25, 2018

5.0

very good. nothing more nothing less

Pros

Initially, when you look at their website it looks they are the right ones for your needs and as u dig deeper you be amazed how powerful your data can be. It was a smart decision to make a switch from excel wherein u put a lot of effort and do a lot of thinking. here you could let the thinking to them and read your data just

Cons

Though it is loaded with a lot of features unlike any other tool , you need to give your time to learn it before you could actually use it. thats kind of a geenric problem where other tools take over wrt to UI?UX

Pros

Great tool to pull multiple data reports. Our company uses it to view number of alumni in a certain geographic region based on their location, There are endless ways to use this software.

December 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

### "A great tool for data visualization!"

February 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software is so easy to use. I learnt the basic functionalities within a very short time. You can create data visualizations of large data sets within minutes. There are also I wide variety of visualizations available from charts to maps. The software is also easy to install and can connect to a wide range of data sources from MySQL to MongoDB, to Amazon Redshift.

Cons

The cost is a downfall for me. I note on their site that the cost is billed annually which may cause individuals and small businesses with a small amount of persons not to be able to afford it right away. If they could pay for the product per month, that would be useful.

### "Simple and easy, but advanced features are complicated"

May 27, 2021

3.0

Challenging. We want Tableau to do so much, but the features are extremely complicated and require a dedicated team member to use, set up, and manage

Pros

Once set up, which takes forever, it can provide a simple one stop view for a lot of information. Our Sales Team likes the simple interface of their dashboards

Cons

We are constantly frustrated with Tableau. It is difficult to integrate into our existing business. The customization is challenging, data syncing doesn't seem to work right

### "Tableau Review"

December 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau is great because it visually can do a lot of cool stuff. It's a step up for business presentations versus the normal Excel/Powerpoint uses. I had a free version through school so I was able to play around with it a little bit.

Cons

The biggest con is the complexity of it. There is a reason that there are full grad school classes dedicated to figuring it out. If you want to be able to use this software, you better be ready to spend a lot of time figuring it out. Like Excel or Powerpoint, there are probably a lot of free resources out there to help out.

No comment, non vedo particolari vantaggi se non che non trovo competitor

Cons

Dopo il periodo di prova ti annullano l'account perdi tutto il lavoro di setup fatto, non ti vengono incontro. Inoltre per attivarlo dopo aver sborsato 800 euro è complicatissimo.

The visual effects and being able to fully see or create a dashboard with all various data points that we need is so helpful. Great at helping us understand our clients better and using data more effectively.

### "Fresh looking BI platform for efficient business data analysis"

February 10, 2019

4.0

We've been using Tableau in trial mode to summarize big tables (500,000+ records) coming from ERP queries (production and financial data). That allowed to quickly cross information and have a visual immediate feeling of their trends, in a way that any spreadsheet would not render.

Pros

\- Convenient Drag & Drop functionality with real time results - Complete set of statistical tools - Quick response, even with big databases - Elegant and modern looking interface and graphics - Easy and powerful web publishing

Cons

\- A little pricey compared with other BI tools, but superior interface and publishing features cover the price gap.
