### "Mostly used for data visualisation "

August 11, 2022

4.0

Pros

For us or for our clients, we use Tableau for data visualization. It actually allows us to create some “tableau” to manage and comprehend all the data we gathered and work with. We can take better actions toward the future. We also allows us to create reporting for our users.

Cons

It is not easy to set-up but that must be normal as we talking about a huge chunk of data. It is necessary to have someone dedicated to it.

### "Tableau Software Review - Desktop"

April 5, 2020

5.0

In company such big as mine we are using Tableau to it's full extent and probably over the limits as stakeholders tend to be complicated, so far there was no thing that couldn't be done through Tableau.

Pros

Definitely ease of use is one of the best things regarding Tableau for less advanced users.For me, experienced user of Data Viz tools, numerous data connectors, limitless customization are probably the most likable things.

Cons

Nothing exceptional, maybe integration with some of the Microsoft features such as One Drive could be less complicated when we are talking about publishing dashboards and some automation(subscriptions won't work with One Drive).

### "A Review of Tableau"

December 12, 2019

3.0

I have been using Tableau in the office for over 2 years now. It is a product that continues to develop and evolve to better serve as a data visual and analysis tool.

Pros

Tableau is a great data visualization tool. If you need to make charts, graphs, tables or other types of data visuals, Tableau can get it done. You are able to upload files or connect directly to data sources on a server. After data is loaded, it is literally a drag and drop interface.

Cons

Tableau is great for creating visuals but is not so great as a data analysis tool. It lacks the ability to analyze and manipulate data that uses complex formulas and calculations.

In my organization, there was a need to create a central hub for data. Tableau has allowed us to import and connect multiple data sources.

### "A good solution to visual data, and to automate reporting"

June 16, 2021

4.0

It is a good solution to create dashboards, especially if you are using data from varying sources. Creating, maintaining, or customizing reporting is difficult and requires experienced data management teams which is less flexible than other data dashboard solutions.

Pros

Overall, Tableau is a good platform to create dashboards that can be shared easily to communicate data from one source of truth. The connections work well, and it is compatible with varying software and ERPs.

Cons

This software is not as user friendly as some of the other data dashboard software and requires teams that are experienced in data management and writing code as opposed to a data cube that can be used in varying options. It is difficult to have custom reporting self written which creates bottle necks and more requests than self service.

### "Tableau's new owner SalesForce needs to learn what Customer Support is "

May 6, 2022

4.0

inventory analysis and predictive analysis with regression

Pros

the drag and drop feature creating dashboards is easy but the actions get confusing when you have many filters and pages on one dashboard and it would be nice to copy and paste buttons and have them be in the same spot on new dashboards or be able to align them

Cons

Customer support - how difficult it is to reset filters on dashboards this should be built in the point of a dashboard is to explore different scenarios how did they miss the fact that you need to reset to status quo

### "Premium Choice for Data Analytics"

February 17, 2022

5.0

Tableau is a data visualization software that translates raw data into valuable and meaningful insights. It assists businesses in collecting and interpreting data from various sources such as spreadsheets, cloud apps like Google Analytics and Salesforce.

Pros

What I love about this is that I can build interactive dashboards through individual reports/worksheets. This platform can really handle large amount of data and complex statistical analysis with ease and gives cohesive results.

Cons

I didn’t quite like that there are some limitations to email alert. For example, you can only drag the date range option instead of selecting dates. It’s time consuming. It also takes a while to import data.

Love the program. Couldn't do my job without it.

Pros

The Tableau interface is so helpful for me as a grant writer because it helps me start the process with good data, then complete my reporting to send to my grantors. It pulls together information from all over our company into one place!

There was a steep learning curve but with help from colleagues it has become so integral

### "Nice tool for data visualisations and presentations"

December 13, 2022

5.0

Got introduced Tabelau through my course in data analytics. Overall it's a nice software bit costly though.

Pros

I love the dashboard feature and easy story telling feature. We can add comments below the visualization and give presentations directly instead of transferring into different presentation platform.

Cons

Once started to use I liked everything about this software. Sometimes importing data which is been edited in the original format file can be difficult or can cause error while visualizing.

### "Great tool to increase data access for organization"

May 16, 2022

5.0

Pros

It allows me to create visualizations that anyone in the organization can access and manipulate. Gets staff more involved in using data. Has many features to see your data in different ways.

Cons

The connections to outside data often have issues. We use google sheets mostly so it may be a problem with that connection

### "Tableau helps you see easily some data and do some basic data analytics"

May 24, 2023

4.0

Tableau helps you manage huge amount of information and create dashbords and plots with some previously categorised information. It is useful for some basic big data analytics

Pros

It's easy to use and if you categorise correctly the information, it can be very powerfull in managing and classifying information, even creating some simple plots

Cons

It takes long to manage the information and the dashboards, up to 5-8 seconds so sometime it's difficult to play with filters because it takes long.

Muy contento con la herramienta en general, es sencillo de utilizar, la visualización de los datos es muy buena y me gusta lo facil que es crear nuevos dashboards.

Pros

Me gusta el que puedas crear tus propios dashboards, que sea sencillo y la manera en la que visualizas los datos.

Pueden repetirse los datos, que haya dos o mas dashboards iguales, podría de manera proactiva decirte que ya hay alguno similar al que estas creando.

### "Get your insights ready!"

March 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Tableau is one of the most widely used Data visualization tool in the Business Intelligence domain. The charts, the easiness, and the data management it provides is far excellent.

Cons

Data Analytics involves data cleaning too, and this is where Tableau lacks. As compared to PowerBI Tableau doesn't have its own data cleaning tool such as PowerQuery which can be a point of improvement.

### "Review for Tableau"

November 24, 2022

4.0

I am working on Tableau Desktop for more than six months now and by that experience i can easily say it is the best software available in the business.

Pros

Tableau is a user-friendly tool and has rich online help equipped with training videos and learning manuals. Through tableau, users can now arrange raw data into catchy diagrams without even needing the help of the IT department.One of the major plus of Tableau is Tableau Desktop design template. It facilitates to develop once and design for variety of tools like Mobile, Tablet, Desktop etc. This provides flexibility to entertain all types of devices with great user experience.

Cons

Though a tableau is an amazing tool and it tends to show deep concern for information security, still the majority of the times, it fails to provide centralized data level security which is quite dejected.

### "Very Good Software for Data Visualization"

July 14, 2022

4.0

The chart making feature was the best feature for me and it helped me to analyze my data much better for my small business. It is a recommendable software to small business owners and data analyts.

Pros

The chart making feature was the most captivating part of this software for me. It was the feature that I used the most and it gave me a clear incentive of how my business was performing. This feature alone would make me recommend data analysts to use this software.

Cons

The error message that came up whenever something went wrong was equivocal and as such, I didn't know what to do sometimes. I had to check my wok multiple times before I figured out the problem

Cons
