As a basic user, I find Tableau straightforward and simple
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything has a purpose, there isn't any unnecessary clutter. I like that each icon gives a description when hovering and it's always been simple to find my way around.
What do you dislike about the product?
One frustration i've experienced is lag time while selecting multiple filters, when there are a significant amount of options, it always brings me back to the top after selecting 2-3 boxes. The interface could use some updates in terms of visual appearance, font size, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Viewing and interacting with data. I run reports for my personal performance metrics as well as using it to find project status reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can only speak to it from a basic user standpoint, but it is easy to find and run reports, the data visualization / charts are very intuitive and user-friendly.
Great tool for beautiful reports
What do you like best about the product?
This is the one of the best data visualization tool i have used. The ability of it to connect to multiple data sources makes it unique in the market and of course with the ease of implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The memory needed to run these reports can be an issue sometimes, of course there are workarounds but they take time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in distributing reports which are time sensitive in a quick manner. Nothing better than that.
Complex but incredibly powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Huge options for power users. Great visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extremely complicated. If you don't get something "right," it's hard to make the visualization do what you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization. Helps everyone see results in the same way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely need to be committed to learning this software if you're going to buy it.
Graphical Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Efficient graph generation making interactive dashboards
What do you dislike about the product?
Creation of data feeds in a format to obtain desired graph
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create dashboards for excel based reports . It’s more presentable
Using Einstein anayltics for every day reporting
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that I have access to nearly all my data, without having to create report after report is amazing. The visual clarity and simple point and click interface are a God send compared to the static reporting of other platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a fairly steep learning curve that comes with it. You definitely need to understand your data and which "bucket" they reside in. but once you learn it, you're flying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The result of being able to see all my Sales people's activity, closure rate, top performers, etc all in one place!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you know what you're doing with your data, and know how to analyze it correctly and segment into the correct market, then Einstein analytics will show you a whole new world of managing, tracking, and reporting on your data. The use case of being able to generate a beautiful report that interacts with a simple point and click to sift through tons of data is more than enough reason to make the switch. Instead of having to create multiple reports, you can have one analytics dashboard that can show all necessary information in a clean, simple to understand format.
Best software for visualisation
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau doesn’t move your data. Tableau resolves its queries on the database itself and only displays the graph or chart. The data stays securely in your existing database.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customization of charts are difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to build the dashboard. If any changes needs to be made, it can be done quickly without having a longer wait time.
Tableau is a great visualization tool but hard to learn
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a fun and useful tool to make presentations and visualizations of data that you cannot do with Microsoft Excel. It is especially good when you have to do reporting that is completed on an ongoing basis. There are many options to work with the data and the ability to work with geographic, SQL, sales, etc types of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is extremely hard to master and very often you have to learn by trial and error. Some functions are not intuitive at all and it is very slow to work on Tableau. Also, you generally have to format the data perfectly first on MS Excel or SQL to ensure that Tableau can work most efficiently. It is a data visualization tool, not a tool to parse through data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to view trends and solve business questions that would otherwise take me longer to complete, visualization, and think about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely use it if you are doing reporting. It is hard to learn but can be worth it. If it is easier analysis or one-off analysis, definitely stick to MS Excel.
Robust analytics and visualization platform
What do you like best about the product?
Dashboards, hands down. It gives me real-time feedback on my performance based on completed prospecting efforts to give me a holistic view of my progress as an account executive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to build out. I would love to have an increased capabilities to build my own reports within my CRM
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting and coaching become much easier when the data can be visualized.
Great Data Visiualization
What do you like best about the product?
The data visualization, especially using the heatmapping tool to identify the "clusters" of a specific audience within a particular geo is very effective in understanding how to localize campaigns and media mix when buying on a national level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating the report--or getting the actual data to visualize is a bit more difficult than other similar platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Audience insights. Being able to understand who are audience is or where they are is how we use it. An added bonus is uncovering some additional consumption (or other) habits that you can leverage when planning/buying.
Great for BI
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, beautiful charts and graphics that are easy to manipulate
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes data pull is slow which makes daily tracking hard to keep up with
