### "Tableau is an amazing Business Intelligence tool for business dashboarding & reporting."

October 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

Tableau has a very intuitive UI, which makes it really easy to use & understand. Tableau provides great data drill down and drill up features. Tableau is highly robust in managing vast amounts of data. It is really fast in its analysis and has range of dashboard & report creation features. It is also compatible with most of the existing databases & systems. Tableau allows drag and drop to create quick charts and graphs.

Cons

There is nothing that is really not well about Tableau except its data warehousing capability which needs slight improvement in the data modelling capability.

### "Tableau is a Powerful Visualization Tool"

May 18, 2019

5.0

I am an aspiring data scientist and Tableau is a very popular go-to tool in this field. Tableau provides a lot of good tutorials on their site and I was able to learn at no cost by leveraging Tableau Public.

Pros

Tableau can read from many different type of data sources and offers a very wide variety of data visualization tools.

Cons

My company isn't ready yet to purchase licenses, so I had to use Tableau Public. In Tableau public everything is well, "public", so I wasn't able to move forward with using company data due to sensitivity/security of the data.

### "Tableau is super!"

October 19, 2020

5.0

Overall, the interface is great and the platform really allows you to do so much with your data because you can visualize it in a way that you haven't seen before.

Pros

The fact that we can get to a level of data visualization that we haven't been able to see before has been a breath of fresh air. We're able to put together amazing dashboards that we were previously unable to gather in our CRM system.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a bit daunting getting to the results that you're shooting for. Training is something that most users would benefit from.

### "Great at Visualization but a Ways to Go with Predictive Modeling"

August 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau provides excellent options to visualize and report data to individual users or an entire organization. Data feeds are simple to set up and visualization options are plentiful.

Cons

While there are inroads being made towards predictive modeling and analytics, there is still a ways to go before it replaces - or is even used more frequently than - industry leaders like R and Python.

### "Mass data collection system"

November 27, 2019

5.0

We use to collect large amounts of data for monthly report delivery. Mainly sales and use of network packets

Pros

It is a specific system for management and data collection. It is possible to change the way we receive the necessary data, by txt file. cvs. or by excel. What helps in delivery to the customer

Cons

Admin settings are weak, could have more manageability for the user, especially on the servers we can create

### "Tableau - The Best Collaboration Software"

July 20, 2020

5.0

Because we are all remote due to COVID-19, Tableau has been a great way to still collaborate with each other but also maintain a record of everyone's thoughts and ideas all in one place.

Pros

Tableau is basically like having a virtual whiteboard that everyone can draw on at the same time. But Tableau is actually better than a whiteboard because you can insert files and create multiple "boards". This allows for a super efficient and organized collaborative process.

Cons

I think it's not the most user-friendly. However, I think after some very quick training and tips, you're able to really hit the ground running.

### "It allowed us to create an incredible dashboard in a short time-to-market"

May 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

The user interface is quite easy to use. Someone with limited knowledge can adapt to it quickly and create powerful reports in less than a month. You can import data from excel files and use pre-defined templates to speed up the process of launching your own interactiv graph or dashboard.

Cons

It is quite complicated to adapt the dashboard to different screen sizes and Tableau limits your posibilities. If you are not fluent with this, your graphs can be cut once you publish them, so it can throw your work to the trash.
