My main use case for Tableau is to develop dashboards and automate the reporting process.

Tableau - A powerful BI tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a powerful business analytics and visualization tool. We have been using it for data analytics, dashboards, and visual representation of cleaned data. The tool is stable and reliable. Using Tableau, the data can be fetched from multiple sources and then can be passed through custom rule sets to clean it, massage it and then store it into intermediate tables from where it can be picked up by dashboards and reports. Tableau gives you a lot of options when it comes to data sources like flat files, Excel files, Cloud databases, native databases and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is a great tool that is being used in our organization on a daily basis. There are no dislikes for it. We have created a scheduler which pulls the data from our summarized table and then puts it into the data preparation stage where the data cleansing takes place and the cleaned data becomes available to us for reporting in different ways. The support from the Salesforce team is great when it comes to Tableau. The platform is AI powered and thus helps in predictive analysis. Tableau has the capability to work with big data. The platform is very secure and can be deployed On-Premise or can be used as a Cloud based solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau by Salesforce is being used widely. It can be integrated with Salesforce CRM to provide forecasted inputs to the Sales and Marketing teams. Forecasting is based on the raster algorithms helping in analyzing of market trends. Tableau can be integrated with other third party platforms too. Further, it uses AI for data insights and data outputs through layman chats. Dashboards in Tableau can be created easily. Visualization tools include having bar charts, graphs, maps, funnels, word clouds, butterfly charts, pie diagrams, gauges and more. We have been designing different reports for our Senior Management using Tableau.
Enterprise-Grade BI Tool That Transforms Data into Strategic Decisions
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Tableau is its ability to turn raw, complex data into visually compelling, interactive dashboards with ease. Working as a data analyst in a tech-enabled real estate company, I used Tableau to build executive dashboards that pulled real-time data from Google BigQuery and Excel to visualize KPIs like lead conversions, onboarding efficiency, and operational bottlenecks across multiple business verticals.
The drag-and-drop interface makes it approachable for business users, while calculated fields and advanced filtering options provide power and flexibility for more technical analysts. Its integration with numerous cloud platforms—especially Salesforce and Google Sheets—has made data consolidation seamless. We reduced manual reporting time by over 75%, and decision-making became data-driven rather than intuition-based.

We reduced manual reporting time by over 75%, and decision-making became data-driven rather than intuition-based.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Tableau is feature-rich, it can be resource-intensive—especially when handling large datasets (millions of rows) or complex calculated fields. At times, dashboards took several seconds to load despite server optimization. Licensing is also on the higher side, which makes it a less accessible option for startups or smaller teams.
Moreover, although the UI is friendly, the learning curve for mastering calculated fields, LOD expressions, and advanced analytics features can be steep for non-technical users. We had to invest in onboarding and formal training sessions for new team members to ensure proper adoption.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau is helping us make faster, data-driven decisions by providing interactive dashboards that consolidate data from multiple sources including Google BigQuery, Excel, and Salesforce. This has significantly reduced manual reporting effort and improved data visibility across departments.

Interactive Dashboards Made Easy with Tableau

I dislike that Tableau can have a steep learning curve for beginners and sometimes struggles with handling very large datasets efficiently.

What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features of Tableau that I admire the most are that it's user-friendly, intuitive, and the visual aspect is impressive.
I have used interactive dashboards for real-time data collaboration, and they are beneficial because they give insight in a way that's visually appealing to the user. The tendency to retain the information is larger than a standard report.
What needs improvement?
I had a thought about how Tableau can be improved regarding the visuals and borders. I had a frustrating time with the borders a few weeks ago. When trying to make them all the same and shade the border, you have to shade all four sides. You cannot create a line per side. It's one of those small nuances where it's all general, and you cannot make specific changes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have approximately eight years of experience working with Tableau.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I'm a user and did not use an integrator, reseller, or consultant for my deployment, as the people from data architectures are the ones that deploy it. Once everything is set up, I just use it, and I don't have experience setting it up.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of Tableau is pretty good, as I have not encountered anything problematic. What I appreciate about Tableau is that they have updates periodically, and some of those updates are actually quite useful.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding the scalability of Tableau, I think it can scale effectively. It's capable of handling large amounts of data. I haven't encountered any scalability issues, as I haven't worked with data volumes that caused trouble running.
How are customer service and support?
I'm not in a position to fully rate the technical support from Tableau, as I've had limited interaction with them. However, based on my experience, I would rate them a nine. They do respond and are pretty responsive to their clients.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have substantial experience with solutions in the analytics industry. I was searching for tools because my company was looking for information to compare different options, which led me to the Peer platform. I have experience with Tableau and Power BI, but I don't have Domo experience.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Tableau is relatively easy for me, as I've been using Tableau for a while now.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have experience with the main differences between Tableau and Power BI, and understand the pros and cons between these tools. Generally, the visuals are nicer in Tableau, but there's a wider array of functionalities to choose from in Power BI. That's the main difference, including the formulas.
What other advice do I have?
They're still exploring the primary cloud provider for Tableau, so I'm not sure yet which direction the company plans to take.
I'm not sure if I purchased this solution directly through the AWS marketplace.
I don't normally use Tableau for the analytics capabilities such as ad hoc analysis, as I usually just use Excel for that.
Regarding the price of Tableau that I used to think was expensive, they've changed their pricing model recently. There's no minimum number of viewers that you have to purchase. A company can purchase just a few creator licenses and mostly viewers, so pricing-wise it's competitive. It can compete with solutions Power BI.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate Tableau an 8.
Engagement Metrics under control with Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau connects and gathers data from a wide variety of sources without putting too much effort into it. Tableau allows us to integrate all data sources into a one environment, where we create real-time visualizations for daily as well as strategic purposes. KPIs are much easier and faster to track.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to have an AI-integrated feature that does what we type in words without doing it manually by ourselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to track KPIs, and make use of them by analyzing data, and we do it gathering multiple sources. The interactive and dynmaic dashboards are used by decision makes across our 27 branches in the company. It not only helps to visualize marketing and product metrics but also to understand customer behavior and infer actionable insights.
