### "You can turn boring data into awesome dynamic visualizations with Tableau"

May 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau takes boring data and turns it into great visualizations that allow you to better present your findings. The user interface is full of great functions that allow you to pull in-depth queries without using other software.

Cons

Once you get the hand of it and all the functions, it's great... But, it's relatively complex and there is not a lot of user guides out there for it so be prepared for some poking around until you get exactly what you want.

April 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love pivot tables, and Tableau openly embraces this idea so it makes it very easy to do the analysis I brainstormed.

### "I like it"

March 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

I am a data analyst for 15 years. I am used to working with Excel. Tableau is a great option for businesses that want to get the most out of their data. I love that I can integrate it with my Excel dashboards for my clients that have too much data for Excel to handle. The visualizations are excellent and plus it is insanely user-friendly.

Cons

It can get slow to update with larger data sets and that can be annoying

Pros

One of the features that I like in this software is the ability to solve data analysis. It has many approaches to solving data.

August 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very user friendly light and easy to use. The app has many inbuilt features and the tool manufacturer also provides training to use the app.

### "Great for creating dashboards for data"

August 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

The dashboards that we are able to create with tableau are excellent. We are able to share a lot of valuable insights visually with our customers by using tableau and they are consistently happy with the results.

Cons

It is kind of confusing to use. I do not use it very often so I am not super comfortable using the software. I find myself getting stuck at times and needing to ask our data scientist for help.

### "All you need for excellent visualisation"

June 22, 2020

5.0

This is a quick and easy tool with a great interface!

Pros

I love the opportunity to create maps, this saved my life :) It's very easy and intuitive to use and also gives you opportunity to clean the data before visualizing. You can upload your data or simply connect to the server. It's like a drag and drop and no need for additional programming knowledge.

Cons

It is great to make visualizations but I would not recommend it as a tool for analysis. It lacks some manipulation tools to work with data. And the price is a bit expensive.

### "Guided + Unguided Analytics with Tableau"

December 13, 2016

5.0

Tableau is a great and intuitive reporting tool that does so much more. By encouraging data visualization best practices inherently, the reason Tableau is its agility as well as connectivity to a range of data sources. The ability to create fully interactive dashboards, with the ability to investigate as well as report, Tableau position's itself where both guided and unguided analytics come naturally to it. With a thriving community, a buzzing forum & plenty of initiatives which drive you to learn and develop your reporting + data analysis skills. Tableau is at the forefront of self-service visual analysis tools because of the shallow learning curve and the ability it provides allowing you to ask and answer questions of your data at the speed of thought.

4.0

Pros

Tableau systematically displays metrics met with a number of employees where you can literally see one’s achievements by particular categories.

### "Tableau works when it works, but there is a learning curve walking into it without prior experience."

August 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

Tableau is great to create high level dashboards to monitor activity within a platform. Similar to Salesforces, it has a high degree of functionality once set up.

Cons

Initially, Tableau can be a bit overwhelming with its functionality. Highly comprehensive and largely manual, it takes a little getting used to. However once you learn the ropes it is a valuable tool for customized data reporting

### "Feature-rich tool for meaningful visualizations."

September 15, 2017

4.0

Would love to see a less expensive version for every day users.

Pros

The options available for presenting data; from simple dashboards to more elaborate story boards. There's excellent flexibility in how presentations are shared (via web, static pdf, permission-based access).

Cons

It is not an easy piece of software to learn once beyond the basics.It is a fairly intuitive software initially, but the more complex tasks take considerable time to master.
