Tableau works well for creating internal business reports
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best aspects of Tableau Server is the fact that you can access your reports from anywhere. This is a great advantage in that you can do this from any computer, even if it is not your business computer. This makes it very convenient to access these reports from anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
With all the flexibility of Tableau, it does make creating and working with reports somewhat complex. Also the ease with which a user can interact with a report is very dependent on how well the person who built the report understands Tableau and good report design. It can take quite some time to come up to speed on the software and create a well designed report that is easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Tableau Server to host many different business reports needed by sales, management, and the executive team. Having these reports consolidated and accessible by multiple people from any machine makes it very easy to distribute the data within these reports. It also allows most of this data to be "self served" where the user can go to the report to view this whenever they want, rather than a single individual be responsible for sending out this data on a recurring basis.

It is a great product to complete visualizations.
It works well, if you pay...
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use UI. Has a lot of functionality and very intuitive. Deeper you dive into the tool, the more you will be able to do and the better your analysis/viz will be. Just started taking more advantage of parameters combines with action filters for user Tableau interactivity and has opened a lot of doors

Cost, seems to run extremely slow if you do not have an upgrade in support/resources. Somewhat trapped into upgrading

Data Analysis and insights for Customers.
Handy tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau desktop is simple, easy to navigate with a user-friendly interface. It is intuitive and has amazing dashboards. It is knows for its remarkable visual capabilities. The drop and drag feature is fun to use along with being exceptionally phenomenal as it creates visual easily. It could turn anything into diagrams and catchy flowcharts from structured to unstructured mathematics within minutes. The desktop is well designed and appealing. Its mobile application is brilliantly designed and puts everything at your fingertips.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is high and the plans laid out by the company are not flexible at all. The BI testing capabilities could use a little improvement along with the security in whole as it should be more active and efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you are looking for a software that do amazing visualizations with the data, Tableau desktop would be a perfect fit for you. The flowcharts, diagrams all could be created within minutes and could hold chunks of informatjon and still look appealing if designed properly. Once you understand the basics of the software, then there is no going back as you would be hooked with the type of visualizations that is possible.
Best tool to analyse the data and create a visualized dashboards.
What do you like best about the product?
It has an easy method to integrate the data, data cleaning is done within the software which saves a lot of time and effort. It also allows connecting the dashboard to data servers. The visualizations are created with just drag and drop. The entire tableau notebook can be exported which makes it easy to communicate with team members and work together.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit long time to open the software and then connecting to the data is slow. Does not have the function for 3D visualizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to understand the data provided to me and perform an exploratory data analysis. It helps me to explain my results to the clients.
Engaging and adaptable work for best practices
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a software for both creative people that need a platform to engage with and non-creative people who need guidance to make their ideas come to life. I love the ability to create dashboards that allow users to interact with the data and view it according to their needs. This is a positive and a negative, but Tableau is a lot of trial and error. There are lots of different ways to accomplish the same goals. Sometimes that is nice because you can find exactly what works for you and your organization. Other times if you do not know exactly the best way to accomplish something you can get lost trying to do the problem-solving.
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphs are not always easily customized. Tableau does not allow your colors to have patterns. Sometimes when sticking to a color scheme, patterns are helpful for filling in graphs. Other software allow you to change each individual piece of the graph and drag and drop individual pieces (data labels, legends, axis titles, etc.) in ways that. It is a small piece of the work, but it can pose challenges. Another challenge is layering the graphs. Layering graphs leaves the hover function in tooltip covered up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My work is visualizing large data sets to be presentable to our audiences. We are allowing different areas of an institution to filter the data to look at just their department or just area of interest in terms of equity and diversity factors. Tableau has been helpful to show multiple sets of data (that would normally be put in a table) all in one place. The hover function in tooltip really cleans up the graphic by not having to label every individual piece of the graph. We also use the tooltip with the shape tool so that we have an "information icon" that contains all of the footnotes to our data in the tooltip.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch tutorials and join tableau communities in order to share tips and tricks. Chances are someone out there has done what you are seeking to do.
Good Reporting Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It provides clean easy to use reports that look professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit clunky to use in that you can not do drill down analysis as readily as I have see with other reporting tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big picture reporting is a brilliant feature of this product so we can look at things at a glance to see how performance is trending.
Tableau Desktop is an excellent visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
I have become satisfied customer of Tableau, it has provided us ease to deal with our supply chain related tasks. Because supply chain itself is very demanding and time consuming activity in terms of finding the right source of supply across the world and then planning for order delivery is more hectic. Not only this but we faced great trouble in managing the receipt and tracking of data was also a complicated and time consuming tasks. But now it keeps much value because it is doing everything effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a very expensive tool for all setups. I think its pricing policy could be revised so that it will become a universal platform. Along with this after we installed this application, we really faced some issues in its fast operation. I think a good internet connection is its key source of operation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am capable of managing my complex factors and in real time. Tableau is helping me in optimizing inventory, streamlining transportation, and in managing the delivery time period. Now our team has the better idea advanced modeling and forecasting, which provides visual aspect and insight view of whole process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I will recommend this tool. On the basis of its key features, which will help me to add to my business value, I can better collaborate with my sales and purchase department. I can also get much benefits from its mobile application.
