Very powerful tool for creating stunning visualizations
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy tableau because it is very powerful, and you can create a wide variety of visualizations using your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit complicated to figure out at first, especially if you are new to working with data. Also embedding charts to Wordpress takes quite a bit of work to figure out how to do it as the given embed code doesn't work. You will spend an hour or two googling the right solution. (HINT: use an iframe)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau Desktop to create visualizations for blog articles that we use for SEO and link building. I think the professional look of the finished product definitely makes this a strong tool for enhancing stories.
Beautiful Data Visualization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how nice the data visualization looks. Excellent for presentation and easily understood.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that some tasks can be a little complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving how to visualize my data. I realized the benefit of making a picture from your data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better for graphing than Excel.
Powerful but not flawless
What do you like best about the product?
The table calculation is really powerful and convenient. Calculated Field and Parameters are also very useful. This is much better than Google Dashboard. With these features, SQL queries can be simplified and let Tableau do the rest of the job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once the tab name is changed and uploaded to the server, the previous link will break. Compared to excel, it lacks the flexibility to make pretty front. When I search for specific functionality usages, the tableau community or help page sometimes show very old pages and those pages never get updated.
When putting multiple sheets in dashboard, the shape or the length of the container won't adjust according to the the length of the data rows returned.
When switch data source in one sheet, all other sheets that use same data source will also be changed.
The integration with R is not that powerful. A lot of useful visualization or analysis functions in R are not support in Tableau.
The subscription feature can be improved so that users will not get report if anomaly is detected in the data.
The integration with presto is not good. It works fine in desktop but when the report is uploaded to server there will sometimes be an error message and users can't open the report on server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau Desktop can help to provide Customized Business Report. It can also help to visualize the data without using R or python. Very convenient tool to explore the data at early stage of analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Report can be very customized whether for daily reporting or for adhoc analysis.
It's really become the industry standard for distributing reports
What do you like best about the product?
Customizable
Easy to use interface

What do you dislike about the product?
Large dashboards are still slow to display
The relationship between desktop and server is still iffy
The relationship between desktop and server is still iffy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The creation and distribution of dashboards
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The learning curve is low. Still needs some work though.
Great data visualization features but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The map features are easy to use and make nice visuals. There are many different presentation options. A lot of things are easy with drag and drop functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting font, color, and size is not intuitive. It can be hard to navigate between different data sources. I wish that you could delete records and reorder data with custom SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Tableau to display information that gets updated daily in SQL Server Management Studio. Tableau allows me to customize my presentations better than pivot tables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau can be used with little SQL knowledge but is more powerful with calculated fields using SQL.
Leading Self-Service BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is constantly upgrading their product despite it already being at the forefront of all self-service BI tools. Most aspects are very intuitive and the community is extensive and is there to help with niche problems. Customization is just about endless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Constant upgrades can leave you feeling like you are downloading a new version every time you open up Tableau and some advanced customizations feel like they could be simplified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows users to visualize data for anyone in their organization to understand easily as well as letting non-technical users easily query their databases.
Overall Tableau has been very useful for my role and company.
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to report on different data points whether it's by date, by person, or by product, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not sure if this is a Tableau restriction or our own company's data restrictions, but most reports are not real time - they take a day to upload the information from the previous day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use Tableau for reporting that pulls data from multiple systems. Since we use multiple data warehouses, Tableau has been a benefit to our company/team since when trying to do sole reporting out of Salesforce we have run into restrictions or less accurate data.
best for marketing people
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, it is very easy to draw simple but fancy colorful graphs for your businesses. If you work for the marketing or sales department, I definitely recommend this programme.
What do you dislike about the product?
The instructions are sometimes not clear enough especially when you want to have a complex table with comparisons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have compared sales facts of 2 regions and I showed them in one table. It was so helpful when I was doing my presentation.
Great tool to provide data to the masses
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly easy to use and provides nice dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
You still have to do a lot of data cleaning and set up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to share data with people who are not "data people" in a format they can understand
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really for use by people who understand data.
Review of Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is currently an emerging BI Tool which has proved its incredible functionality for visualizations and analytics area of the BI platform. It is easily approachable and can be quickly adapted by users belonging to any domain with little to no knowledge on other reporting platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have ETL capability and since many companies have been recently using tableau, its flaws are yet to be discovered. It may not be confirmed that this tool is super scalable in terms of reliability and flexibility.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Tableau for building visualizations so that users from different teams including end users can utilize the tool for doing analytics for making better informed business decisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Desktop can be used to develop/build appealing reports and visualizations for data analytics. Users can easily use them and modify according to their needs.
