Business Intelligence Done Right!
What do you like best about the product?
There's been an ongoing debate for a while now with Tableau V.S. Power BI. I've used both and I must side with Tableau for two reasons.
1) Our team uses it in-house.
2) It's just better!
While not the easiest to learn, Tableau offers so much in terms of business intelligence for its users, that it makes it all worth it.
Its visualization tools are the best in the business, and its ability to cater to different business roles just makes it that much better.
The Tableau team keeps pushing frequent updates to improve it as tech advances. The support team is helpful!

Build dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
I like tableau mostly because it empowers me to build flexible and complex dashboards with ease, just prep the data and load, tableau does the rest.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of some more complex capabilities for drilling down or link to “sister” dashboards/datasets.

The need for simple yet flexible (self serving) business health dashboards for upper management.
Powerful Visual BI

Tableau enables to develop dashboards, and different types of data visualization, from multiple data sources. You can get it from excels, databases, websites, among others.

There are some features that are more complicated than they should. You have to be very careful with the data preparation for you to get the proper results you are looking for.

Provide access to visuals to anyone who requires it. Dashboards, graphs and tables more insightful and more eye catching.
Handy tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau desktop is simple and easy to navigate. The interface is user friendly and it has appealing dashboards. It is known for its remarkable visual image capabilities. The drag and drop feature is great and could be utilize to create graphs and other diagrams within minutes. Its overall performance is secure and reliable. The mobile app is well designed and enables its users to have their statistics at their fingertips.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is expensive and the pricing plans are not flexible. Despite of being easy, it has a steep learning curve. Once the training is done, it will do wonders for you with your visual work. The BI capabilities could use a little improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is good for large sized organisations with sufficient funding in data visualizations as tonnes of data could be handled within minutes and analyse through graphs and statistics. For small to medium sized organizations, it might prove to be expensive.

Good beginner visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
It can handle a number of api's and file types which makes it a very versatile tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like to call Tableau the Excel of data visualization. It can do just about anything and everything you want, but it can be clunky at times compared to newer solutions on the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesizing our data reporting and insights that is then sent over to a variety of teams.
Handy tool!
What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent software for creating visual dashboards. With the drop and drag features of Tableau, the user can create a very interactive visual within minutes. It has a user-friendly interface which can handles large amounts of data. It is easy to use that with some basic training, that even non-analytical people can make the use of it. The mobile application of Tableau is very well designed and intuitive, that allows its users to keep their statistics on the fingertips.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is quite overpriced, and the pricing plans are not very flexible. When importing large amounts of data, the system lags and sometimes freezes. It does not facilitate with data cleaning which I think is very necessary, an additional support is required to get it done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall it is the best software for creating appealing and informative data visualizations. It is best for the large organizations as it can deal with enormous amount of data within minutes.
Data Analytics for the win
What do you like best about the product?
I love that we can load our data files that contain millions of rows of data into a centralized software to be able to filter out and make calculated fields to produce pretty reporting for the management team and our visuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the extremely long wait time when we use filters on our reporting. We do use millions of rows of claim information, so filtering down on a few attributes will cause a report to take a few minutes to populate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to condense our data and build pretty analysis' that are otherwise impossible to generate given the size of our data sets.
