Useful tool for getting the "big picture" of data
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it allows non-technical people a user friendly way to manipulate data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I felt that the software was a bit slow and cumbersome with large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to create an increased visibility of otherwise hard to find data. I was able to use Tableau to show data on a hosted web server that was accessible to all of our employees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using small data sets, it will probably work very well for you. However, if you are using large data sets, you may want to consider a different tool.
Visualization on Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Better visualization than most data analysis software
High level of customization to varying levels of granularity on the same sheet or without recreating different visualization for higher or lower levels of granularity. For example, by using filters such as age bins we can visualize how a dependent variable changes with the regressors in different age-groups on the same sheet. We do not need to create different figures for different age groups as in other software.
Managing databases such merging databases, e.g., inner join, outer join, are much easier in Tableau.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have not yet been able to figure out how to add error bars if I have already a column for that data. This is easily accomplished in other software such as SigmaPlot.
Being a comprehensive application, it requires some initial training. It is not something I can start using it right away.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have just been using it for a month or so. We are using it for our academic classroom project and my research project. We are visualizing healthcare data related to prevalence of most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the US over the last few decades and how effective the US healthcare system has been in improving these rates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understanding this application will require some patience and time. But I guess this effort will be well rewarded with continued use. I have the opportunity to use it free for one year on academic license. I am however taking a tutorial on Udemy.com for learning this application. Time spent learning this is worth it.
Great tool for data analysis and visualization but steep learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
Very customizable interface and also allows regular reporting. Great at-a-glance trend view
What do you dislike about the product?
This product has a steep learning curve for beginners, even those familiar with data analysis via other tools. Small changes generally require expertise to change
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier data analysis, specifications setting, and process monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have an onsite expert, with sufficient training to use the software, managing changes and custom dataset
Great product for data visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to perform data visualization at all levels-beginner or quick analysis to advanced analysis where you control and program your own variables and code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep if you don't have access to a lot of resources to get started. Training is pretty much necessary to get value out of this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this product to analyze our business performance and visualize how our contract vehicles are being utilized by vendors and customers. We can answer complex questions from business lines and leadership and help ensure that we are conducting business efficiently and meeting performance metrics over time. This ultimately ensures we are good stewards of tax payer money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to take any available training so you can get the most use out of this product. There are a plethora of resources online through Tableau and from users submitting content via discussion boards and youtube. It is imperative you have clean, high quality data or you will not get much out of this product.
Tableau: Great reporting Software
What do you like best about the product?
easy to build custom reports, and integrates well.
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes it lags in updating the reports and isnt always best in "real time"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sales tracking
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Building reports helps tremendously
Visual analytics on your laptop
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of load a data source! By far, in my career, locating data has always been trickier than visualizing it - with Tableau 10 and VizSQL, you can rapidly explore, visualize, annotate and tell a story to your senior management so that they can act upon it. No other solution has ever been as effective and swift to do so>
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that Tableau will charge you 20% of your original license to upgrade and carry on support. I can understand upgrade but not support. Support should be endless, this is called Customer Experience. Feels like Customer Ignorance on that scheme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Digital marketing analytics across several platforms, you can connect to them and aggregate Key Performance Indicators on the fly. Tableau does it, they rule!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with Desktop and review Server or Online after 1 year on Desktop+Reader.
Strong for basic dashboarding
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, ease of use.
Very good for 90% of visual data needs.
Very good for 90% of visual data needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be made much more visually appealing, a bit of an ugly duckling.
Can be a bit slow with large data samples.
Seems a bit too cookie cutter and from a design-standpoint doesn't adapt to the page or filtering seamlessly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Turning excel data into something digestable.
No longer have to switch between multiple pivot tables and documents to understand campaign performance.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for most tasks. If you have huge data sets, complex customized needs or need your dashboards to be beautiful, maybe not the perfect choice.
My Review on Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
Visualization with more possibilities to project the data in different ways.

Nothing to say not like .. but need few additions like . If we have a chance to write the sql query like in click view product , then it will be very useful more than now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I completely working on my company projects.
Great software that is easy to use and easy to connect to data
What do you like best about the product?
The easy, drag and drop methods to creating sophisticated reports from your data. This software is easy to link to your database live so that you can access updated information every day as opposed to refreshing data. The data visualization is clear and aesthetically pleasing. There are many different charts that are easy to set up and are useful to use in dashboards. The story features is of great use for presentations and for organizing your data in a meaningful way. The trending and forecasting modeling is easy to use and to evaluate. It is easy to extract data from the model information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Working with time series data can take a lot of data cleansing before hand. Also, it can be difficult to make data relationship links that work in the direction of your intended use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly and accurately providing interactive reports. We have realized the benefit of being able to create dashboards quickly for our team to view.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Connect to your data live. This helps keep up to date analysis without having to refresh data manually.
