Great for visual analysis. Has R and SQL integration so you can get really deep into your data
Good presentation of elements and an even better organization
What do you like best about the product?
Any data I input is so well organized and well-designed that it is easy to understand trends and answer any questions we may have. Sometimes, I even find answers to questions we hadn't thought to ask yet. The best part about Tableau is that it is extremely fast to get to the results.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not had any bad experiences with Tableau. It fulfilled all of my analytic needs at the time.

Efficient if you have good background coding team

What do you dislike about the product?
Could take a while to get exactly what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems, certain "Tabs" are down, benefits are simultaneous reports run at the same time I'd then have to find on various platforms at work.
Lots of upside and ability to do complex analysis but hard to get used to
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are lots of options and I feel like I can do complex analyses using the software. The ability to extract or have a live feed of data is also a big plus for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the software is expensive and not so easy to use I can't create cards or dashboards for execs in the company that they can then take and modify. For that reason, and because I'm not able to share with other people so easily I prefer Domo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use tableau to make many graphs quickly. When I'm looking at many segments, it's easy to switch between different views and filters.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lots of people look to hire people with Tableau so from that perspective it's worth learning, otherwise I would say there are other products that are better.
The standard for business intelligence
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows for anyone to quickly connect to and explore all types of data. The interface is smooth with drag and drop features which are smooth and intuitive. Tableau has layers too. You can use it on a basic level, but dig deep and you'll quickly find advanced tools that will take your data to the next level.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is reliant on outside tools for certain predictive analytics and statistical methods.
Not able to trigger e-mailing of reports by metric thresholds.

Helpful Software for Creating and Publishing Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of combining multiple excel files and linking them to be able to create data visualization for my work. Once you use Tableau for awhile, creating certain charts and data points becomes easier and easier. Although I still consider myself a novice, using Tableau has been really helpful in my work. In addition, the Tableau community has been fantastic! Anytime you need help, you can easily go to the community boards and search for how others have solved their Tableau hiccups.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a novice like myself, it took me awhile to get used to using the software. If I know exactly what I want to do and am not sure how to do it, I can usually find the answers on the Tableau Community. However, sometimes it feels as though you cannot force Tableau to do what you want it to do, but rather you need to adapt to how Tableau works and be okay with "losing control" over how you want a chart to specifically look like. Once I've done that, I've noticed a lot of my frustrations I can feel at times go away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization has needed to create a dashboard in which we can publish online in which other departments can look through their specific utilization date (i.e. how many students have used their services/characteristics of their student populations in the aggregate). This has been very helpful and are looking forward to publishing our dashboards on the server, soon.
Out of the box visualization platform
What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to use and and has robust data import features. In 2015 I used together with R and Python to build visualization for The Human Development Index, Trends & Components of UNDP and get to the global final of the dataviz competition. http://lukianets.com/projects/undp-2015/
What do you dislike about the product?
The data has to be UTF-8 default encoded
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building complex data visualizations
A great way to measure your monthly goals and success
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it's used to measure my success for the month in my sales role compared to the previous year and also keep track of my required metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau server does have a tendency to run slow and be a week or so behind at times. Not sure if this is something Tableau needs to work on or the company that i work for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
N/A as this is used to measure metrics in my Account Mgmt sales role.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend getting all the key components needed to measure an employees performance.
