### "Custom BI for your business"

May 30, 2018

5.0

custom BI redefined for 2018.

Pros

We have been using Tableau for generating custom dashboards and charts for our product users. It is a great !! Visualizations is one the best feature that Tableau brings to the table, also integrated with excel spreadsheets so the learning curve is limited

Cons

One of the biggest issues with Tableau is the implementation time to get it started. Mostly operates as a platform hence it can take time in comparison to its peers to load.

### "Great Product"

October 12, 2020

5.0

This has been a great tool so far. I'm able to review and report information in so many different ways. I can even export the information to a spreadsheet for further review thereafter.

Pros

I've only used this product for a couple of months, but it has made part of my job so much easier. I use Tableau to trend denials for medical payments we expect to receive.

Cons

So far, I don't have anything negative to comment regarding this software. Just like any other program or software that's new to the user, you have to learn how to use it.

### "Great tool to evaluated and visualize trends"

June 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

Easy to go in to see detailed daily stats of individuals and teams/groups accurately. Also great tool to help stay on top of individual and group performance. VERY accurate.

Cons

I have never had an issue using Tableau. I use the app within the job that I perform as a contractor, so the IT and pricing is not something that I deal with.

### "The most complete data visualization software"

July 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

Tableau has so many features but the flexibility is one of its most loved ones. You are able to create any kind of dashboard with any kind of interaction you desire.

Cons

The high number of features available makes Tableau a hard software to master. I think a mix of tutorials and UX improvements can make a difference for first time users.

### "Great layout, visually appealing, and plethora of features"

August 22, 2019

5.0

Main business problems for using Tableau are analyzing metrics for daily operations, specifically failure rates and tracking completion.

Pros

I like how there are many customizable filters that allow you to dig down to multiple levels when evaluating metrics. It is also very visually appealing, and the Excel exports are very useful for offline use!

Cons

Some options are checked by default in filters. Not sure if there is an easy fix for this. Also, some links tend to be broken when trying to access older versions of Tableau.

### "Powerful"

May 10, 2019

5.0

Pros

A powerful tool, accessible, easy to use and free

Cons

### "Good for presenting to clients"

November 10, 2016

4.0

Tableau offers a very professional UI and endless ways to customize and reposition data for whatever you need. It's not always the most intuitive set-up but it's helped with weekly presentations to a major US client over the past 9 months.

Pros

Customizable and able to pivot data in endless ways

Cons

Not very intuitive. Requires a fairly deep understanding by the user to get the most out of it.

### "very powerful tool for business intelligence."

January 24, 2019

4.0

a client of the company where I work, I request to perform business intelligence work with the tableau tool.

Pros

Based on the use that I have been able to give to the tool, it is very easy to be able to do business intelligence with that tool and also to be able to do drill down is very simple.

Cons

For me one of the cons is the price you have to pay to get the entire Tableau suite. Consider that there are other options in the market that can solve the need for a better price.

### "We use Tableau to create amazing visual dashboards. It is a great tool!"

April 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

Tableau allows you to view the big picture with colorful charts but it also allows you to drill down to see the raw data behind the charts (numbers) if you need to see the names of individuals. You can also export in various formats such as crosstabs, images or pdf.

Cons

Depending on the type of report, you will need to do some formatting after it has been downloaded.

### "An exceptional tool for BI"

September 5, 2019

5.0

The direct benefits that we are seeing from Tableau is that it allows of BI developers to create models faster that other tools.

Pros

What I most liked about Tableau is that it's a very interactive tool for creating BI models easily, which translates that anybody can use it. It's ideal for Self-Service analytics.

Cons

I didn't like that the desktop software is not free to use like Power BI and QlikSense: this make harder the adoption and trial of the tool (like only 15 days). Also, the strictly licensing requirements for minimum number of users is not great for companies trying to test the tool productively.

Alternatives considered

[Qlik Sense](https://www.capterra.com/p/209809/Qlik-Sense/)[Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/)

Reason for choosing Tableau

The easy-to-do and velocity were better in Tableau

4.5

Pros

With Tableau it is really easy to connect to your data and get started right out of the gate. You do not need any special skill sets in order to be up and running.

Cons

Combining different data sources together proves difficult such as loading excel files, stored procedures, and direct table access all in the same page doesn't work well.give the free trial a shot

### "Great software for visualizations"

May 14, 2019

5.0

I've been able to create some attractive visualizations out of some very boring monthly and quarterly reports.

Pros

You don't need to be a coder or some highly certified computer engineer to work with Tableau. It uses your own data to make really cool and attractive visualizations.

Cons

The online training videos are not as informative as I would like.

### "Useful Tool When You Want to Learn What to Know and How to Show"

May 25, 2022

5.0

When you work on Marketing, you are supposed to see the big picture and get knowledge towards audience, demographics, interests, needs, customized offers and expectations etc. Accordingly, good practices and right references play a major role on your success. In my opinion, Tableau is a trustworthy solution, when it comes to interactive data visualization.

Pros

In today's distracting business world, reports, tools, platforms can cause frustration and dissatisfaction. In such cases, business people needs to access to right white papers, roadmaps and references. Due to options and infrastructure, Tableau offers useful solutions for the individuals searching for right and adequate sources.

Cons

When you deep dive and access relevant web sites, it can be a hard to track the previous steps

July 9, 2020

I used it to create report and if it wasn't that expensive for a little business, I will continue to use it !

Pros

I try Tableau to create reports and oooo, I like it ! You can create beautiful and very powerful report ; The back of this script is enormous and you can visualize a enormous amount of data ; The design is user friendy

Cons

While this is a good platform, you will need some time to master it ; As every good thing, nothing comes in one day ! The price is also very very expensive, but as everything, you have what you paid for !
