### "It's easy to use, powerful, and makes great presentations."

October 3, 2017

5.0

Crisp, clean displays of information for reporting to management. Basically able to skip Excel and go right from a database to Tableau.

Pros

Importing databases and viewing data in a variety of formats and graphics is as easy as a few mouse clicks. Setting up custom displays takes a bit more work and was a bit confusing, but overall it wasn't that hard.

Cons

May be a bit pricey for some (like management), but was worth it in the end. Also, the standard viewing templates tend to be all bunched up, could use an easier to organize drop down menu to keep the screen from being cluttered.

### "Great Data Visualization Software, Steep Price"

May 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

\- Basically pivot tables and pivot charts on steroids, incredible data visualization abilities - Can integrate with multiple data sources for a seamless transfer of data

Cons

\- There is a good deal of learning to be able to fully utilize the product - The user licenses are expensive, so you will need to make sure everyone who has access will fully utilize

### "You feed data into it and it produces knowledge"

July 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

Based on data you feed it can give you a deep insight into elements and correlations you would not even think about yourself. If you are in a moment when you need to decide next large steps or adjusments company data, this will give you a total overview of all the possible elements you can think off - sometimes leading to surprising conclusions. Definitely worth a shot.

Cons

It does not seem to suggest you too much on its own and instead relies on you being creative (or experienced as a data analyst). If you are not tech-savvy and do not have such a person on your team, that may unfortunately be a showstopper. Not something recommended for people who just start their data analytic adventure.

### "Tableau is the Best Data Visualization Tool"

October 12, 2016

5.0

Tableau is hands down the best data tool I have ever used. One just needs to watch the first training video that comes with it to have an understanding of how it works. It is very easy to use and is extremely useful. Students can use it for free!

### "Steep Learning Curve; Worth the Investment"

September 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

Tableau has a huge number of options when it comes to importing and displaying complex data. There are a number of charts that can be made automatically which most users would not have imagined to create in the first place.

Cons

The learning curve is steep - it takes a long time to get very good at using the software. There are plenty of resources available to help you learn, however.

### "Great Business Intelligence tool"

5.0

Pros

Able to interface with just about any data points you have within your organization. The custom reporting options are numerous, and can easily be adapted for your companies needs. User set up / permission allocation is easy to maintain.

Cons

Bit of a learning curve to start with, would need an outside consultant to get you up and running.

### "Tableau for All"

September 22, 2019

4.0

Overall, I compare this to PowerBI and i think the visuals are a lot cooler than PowerBi.

Pros

I think the ease of use is the greatest aspect of this product and ability to visualize a lot of different types of data.

Cons

It would be cool if it had more features to be able to visualize. I think a more simplified user experience would be helpful as well.

5.0

I was able to sift through all the information collected from the business to provide better forecasting and business analytics.

Pros

This is an immensely powerful tool in transforming large quantities of raw data into graphs, reports, and anything in between.

Cons

I wish there was a free training or free workshop that goes with Tableau so that understanding how to use the program was more fluid.
