Great business intelligence tool but comes with a learning curve

Perhaps one of the best data visualization software on the market, gives you the ability to perform data visualization in an intuitive manner. Software support is excellent, customer service is amazing. Community of users is very large and engaged, helping other users with any and all questions
What do you dislike about the product?
It comes with a learning curve and requires a bit more advanced IT skills, especially if you have minimal IT experience.

Solution that gave us the the ability to create powerful data visualization, easier learning because of the user community and Tableau support
User-friendly for creating maps
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot of in-built capability to create maps for health services research.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much capability to perform geo-spatial statistics such as hot-spot analysis etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a great tool for generating maps in epidemiology and health services research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for generating maps, but if you want to perform spatial statistics, it does not have a strong/easy capability to do that.
Use Tableau to create visualized reports to internal stakeholders
What do you like best about the product?
The time to process large amount of data is fast and really great visualization
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features are not flexible. And it takes up too much memory if multiple Tableau applications are opened.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Displaying summary table and usage trends over time in different service locations. Internal stakeholders can easily view the results through Tableau server.
Tableau Review
What do you like best about the product?
The creative ways you can visualize data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a data wrangling or modeling software. Though, that's not really the purpose of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most business problems are related to how best communicate results. I find that Tableau offers a wide range of ways to do so.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's presentation software, not data wrangling or modeling software.
Tableau desktop
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the accessibility to the data using this platform. The simple layout makes it easy to use and consume the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say there could be more functionality in the program. It's almost too simple. Also, it tends to be slow with large datasets as well as exporting into excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to automate certain reports and processes. Having everything in an easy to consume form makes these processes more efficient.

Positive Tableau Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Tableau is highly customizable and intuitive for new users, even easier to pick up for a user who has already worked with other data analytics and visualization programs. The program makes it easy to put data into simple, visual forms for other users to digest and act on.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike is that if there is functionality missing in the program, it may take a long time for the Tableau team to implement changes or customization depending on what users need. Users can request new functions, but with many services and programs there is a long timeline for approval, testing, and implementation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows users to easily pull together multiple sources of data (or link data directly) to create visualizations for other company users. Different groups can then identify where there are key issues or areas of improvement, put together a plan for action, and aim to resolve these issues.
Gets the Job Done, but Be Prepared for Setup Time
What do you like best about the product?
It does a great job of mixing data sources through it's proprietary blending and joining tools. For example, You can have a live SQL connection with a pre-saved query that joins to an Excel spreadsheet on your desk that acts as a crosswalk for a set of fields if need be.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's truly a "blank slate" and it takes time and effort to get your dashboards off the ground before you can publish them for your end users. The gains are there, as these "sandboxes" are self-serve and self-updating for your users, but the human capital it requires to get off the ground can be daunting.
Also, I wish that Tableau had a built-in Geocaching tool, as it';s ability to do long-Lad work is dependent on your ability to feed those tools into the system. Direct integration with Google Maps API is a non-starter since we deal with API, so it'd be nice if there was an add-in directly within Tableau.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've built entire "cubes" in Tableau which are able to churn through lots of data to do specific tasks (One particular cube would churn through 1,000,000+ lines of patient data to calculate weighted averages) and some basic graphs that auto-refresh for certain users. We're currently integrating Tableau at our current organization and using mapping and SQL to do analysis regarding the distance our patients travel to Pomona Valley Hospital within our service area.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the Human Capital needed for setup and buy-in from Leadership, as this is an "all-in" solution that will require work before producing fruit.
One Place to See Everything
What do you like best about the product?
Able to pull up an order and see everything about it
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when searching it brings in things from other business branches
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to get P.O. and resolve customer issues by tracking it in sales force
Very dynamic dashboard software
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how simple it is to create visuals that tell a story
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes that server can be a bit slow when there is too much data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To display metrics and analytics in a simple and streamlined way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you know that you want to display because there are so many things you can do with tableau. It is better to start with a goal in mind and then to use tableau to help create the dashboards, metrics or visual to achieve that goal.
Tableau for visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a wonderful resource for creating interactive and creative visuals. We often utilize the heat mapping and dashboard functions to display data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to find embedded data in already created dashboards. When trying to make edits on a visualization that you did not create, there are multiple different ways to create visuals using embedded spreadsheets or manually inputting data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allow us to best display business intelligence results and share these results with clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau is like Microsoft Excel on steroids - it provides better graphics and options for uploading interactive and colorful files with embedded data in graphs, charts, and maps.
