Can be hard to learn, ease of use isn't as good as other data visualization tools Have to know a decent amount about the back end of data, so the average joe couldn't just hop right into it Very very expensive

### "Amazing data visualization tool"

July 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love the aspect of Tableau which brings life to data. Some basic amount of SQL knowledge is all you need to get started and depending on the type of need and you are able to make pretty complex interactive charts and visualizations. The type of options that Tableau provides based on the data is needed to be plotted and analyzed are very advanced.

Cons

It takes time to setup the environment and get upto speed with the different options that are available and hence the learning curve is pretty heavy with Tableau.

### "Data Data Data"

December 7, 2019

3.0

I was able to identify bleeding accounts and unprofitable installations easily with this software.

Pros

This can make great graphs and charts of whatever data you feed it. It was able to make maps of market areas, breakdown sales of whole companies to individual accounts.

Cons

It is pretty complex. I guess it needs to be complex to have so many options, but still pretty clunky to use.

### "Tableau"

December 9, 2021

4.0

We've used it to put together dashboards that make data easy to understand.

Pros

It's a really user-friendly interface to create data visualizations without having too many technical skills.

Cons

I find version control to be a bit difficult. We save multiple copies of dashboards in order to keep track of older ones, and it can get confusing.

Sometimes it lags in filtering and needs to be refreshed often.

### "Beautiful data visualization"

January 15, 2016

4.0

Pros

Ability to connect many data sources and create impressive looking visualizations easily. The interface feels much more modern than some of its competitors that I've tried.

Cons

There is a steep learning curve, but this isn't unique to Tableau. Data integration can be quite complex and without a clean data source the software isn't much use. Also, I found it slower than some of its competitors.

### "Unbelievable reports with Learning Curve"

May 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

This program will operate from many data sources including excel all the way to MSSQL and most everything in between. Data manipulation with interactive charts and graphs. Multiple table access with primary key.

Cons

Not the easiest to learn. Need the training if you are a new user. Not the least expensive, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

### "The best analyst tool out there"

June 19, 2018

Pros

Tableau's strong point is ingesting data and providing visual representations that can be easily updated.

### "Not perfect but great tool for the basic analysis"

April 9, 2020

5.0

Tableau is very useful for the basic data analysis and to visualize the analysis. It is recommended to make the data table with Excel first and import to Tableau to visualize it.

Pros

Data analysis often requires knowledge of programming languages ​​such as Python and R, but Tableau does the data analysis using drag and drop methods without such programming.

Cons

The price is high. If you use the free version, the data goes public. When the data analysis gets complicated, it's easier to use programming rather than using the tools in Tableau.

### "Amazingly intuitive once you play with it."

December 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

At first it seemed intimidating and then I watched a 20min overview video and saw how crazy easy it is to use and drill down into data to see what you need. The insights are powerful and the views just build themselves when you drag/drop fields. Crazy easy!

Cons

The cost is high, but it's for a reason. They are kind of "alone" in this field aside from something like Microsoft Power BI, which is a whole different animal in terms of use, but same in purpose.

Pros

Cons

The method to implement is somewhat cumbersome, the responsive formats are not the best seen from a cell phone.

### "Review 8 Tableau"

March 4, 2019

3.0

Pros

As a teacher, we use Tableau to calculate our grades for kids easier. I think this system really does cut down the time I spend calculating grades.

Cons

I don't necessarily think that the grades are always accurate. They sometimes calculate the grade lower than it actually is. We use standard based grading and it's harder with this system.
