I've used Tableau for the past few years now. It has certainly improved over the years, particularly allowing access to cloud data. The data processing and performance capabilities, however, have no scaled well.

### "Incredible tool for interactive visualizations"

February 4, 2021

4.0

I provide monthly reports for stakeholders. Tableau has allowed me to automate this process with dashboards that auto-refresh monthly. Saves time and is much more efficient.

Pros

Tableau is user-friendly and has a range of options to create fun, interactive visualizations. It has greatly streamlined my business reporting.

Cons

Organizing images/objects on dashboards can be a little tedious and awkward but I've gotten the hang of it

### "Variety of Visualizations "

June 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

Tableau has an large collection of data connectors and visualizations. The UI and product as such is user-friendly with a large community of users. Processing engine is pretty good. UI makes it a breeze to load the data.

Cons

Data preparation and data cleaning task is a little tricky even though there are man options available on board. Need some practice to get used to the software but once you get it, it is easy to use.

### "Complicated Until You Know What You Are Doing"

June 29, 2021

5.0

I tried a competition for data visualization and found that the time it took to learn in properly wasn't worth the effort in the amount of time I had.

Pros

The amount of flexibility in tableau is large. It can do many things and can help lead you to new discoveries in your data.

Cons

Without proper tutorials, it wasn't very intuitive in use. Especially with sparse data sets I didn't know where to begin to analyze my data.

### "No Programming Required"

May 19, 2021

5.0

Overall, it's great for those who want to be able to see graphs for the data being imported. It gives you a clear picture and analysis without you having to do all the calculations.

Pros

You don't have to know in depth SQL or Python to maneuver the software. Importing data from different places with ease is refreshing.

Cons

Creating the formulas can be tedious at times. It has the same logic as excel so you need to stop and think how excel would create the formulas.

### "So many different options!"

June 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

Visually, the layout of the product is awesome and easy to read. There are so many different customization's that you can do with the product!

Cons

The downside of having the ability for all the different customization's is that it can make it a touch overwhelming.

February 14, 2017

Tableau lets me easily create dashboards to track my recruiting metrics. I took a simple intro class and was up and running in no time, without too much practice or experience. I am now able to create clean and insightful visualizations for presentations or reports on a continuous basis.

### "Tableau Desktop"

August 8, 2018

5.0

Great for visualization. Integration with R Studio is a breathe.

Pros

It has integration capability with R Studio.

Cons

Processing large data may take time. 50000 rows with 7 columns of social media metadata in csv file takes roughly around 30mins.

5.0

Pros

While serving clients that generate revenue all around the world Tableau allows me to to easily visualize the data presented to decide where to target my testwork.

### "Efficient tool for processing large amount of data and such beautiful graphs for data visualization"

April 27, 2022

4.0

Pros

An overwhelming number of features that seems challenging at first to crack the code, but the effort rewards with surprisingly good looking models, but most importantly - the statistical analysis that can't be seen before. I used this to incorporate Covid-patient data to illustrate the relationship between age, region, income and covid-rate.

Cons

New users might need more tutorial to navigating around the app

August 21, 2018

5.0

### "Tableau is Awesome"

March 6, 2015

3.0

Pros

Tableau creates the most amazing visuals. If you know how to format your data, because your data cannot be formatted any other way than database-friendly, than you are able to create very meaningful visualizations that you cannot with other programs. It is also very easy to share these graphics.

Cons

You really need product-specific skills to use this program. For instance, you have to be able to manually understand things like their dimensions vs measures which is something that someone with Tableau-specific knowledge would do. It is hard to crack without an instructor or specific instructions.

### "Data Visualization with Tableau"

October 14, 2019

5.0

The overall experience has been pleasing. The only problem is the price.

Pros

The best part about Tableau is the ease with which data can be represented. You can just paste the data and graphs get plotted automatically. The interface is also very intuitive.

Cons

It is expensive software, cannot be used by all organizations. There are cheaper alternatives available which people might go for.

### " Amazing data visualization"

March 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Undoubtedly, Tableau's data virtualization is amazing. It allows business users to perform very complex data visualization in a very intuitive way. It is possible to build very elaborate graphics vey quick and easily. It is possible to conect your data not only with a file but also to a server, which allows users to uptade the data live and automatically.

Cons

When the user wants to pull the data from a server, the software gets a little complicated because it is necessary to create the data in SQL server and it requires the knowlodge on this area too

### "Show intelligence and insights in a better way!"

October 5, 2021

4.0

It's great for drawing analytics and insights and painting a story. I would love to see predictive patters as a feature that uses the current data set and predicts over time

Pros

You can draw analytics based on data and show it in cool ways and over time

Cons

Data imports can be painful sometimes. Area of improvement right here
