Bumpy releases but a great product for businesses of all sizes
What do you like best about the product?
The tableau server is a great way to share insight across the company and gain a view of how employees are interacting with the data. The service has extremely customizable user controls to manage who can see and edit what data and reports, making it an effective tool to use across the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had issues multiple times with server release bugs bringing down key functions for the day when they are released. As a core technology for our business, stable releases are key to successful use of the product, which everyone from execs to interns use to track daily metrics and do their day to day jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to extract datasets directly to the server allows back end data management and updates during the workday without halting any day-to-day functions for our users. Also, as the data hub for the business, we use the administrators data access to analyze how our business users are digesting data, to better create tools for them to do their jobs. The server also allows us to schedule periodic emails to any of our business users more attached to email, and integrate the tableau app for other users who want to track real time data on mobile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you do not foresee a need for some of the admin control and user data analysis, considering using Tableau Online for an off site, cloud based solution. The transition from Tableau Server to Tableau Online is a huge manual process if you have a decently sized environment, so make this call before setting up the environment on an on prem server.

Tableau is easy to use and you can get started with pretty much any data set. The displays are modern and help communicate data in a digestible way versus displaying results in dated charts or graphs.

Tableau doesn’t work like Excel or other Microsoft software to create exportable easy to use graphics. It uses data to create within-software data dashboards and displays.

Nice Tool for Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are a variety of ways to present the data. I don't like to be pigeon-holed in how I use software.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't necessarily "easy" to use because there are multiple ways to present the same data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In this day and age, there is so much data out there but it is so important to have it in a usable format, and Tableau is an advanced system to do it in a multitude of ways.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If other data visualization software doesn't have enough features. Try this one out.
Consolidate methods you use to audit
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Tableau is the fact that it has saved me hours each week! In the past, I configured reports from our banking software, put them into Excel, had to manipulate and consolidate all the data, then interpret the information and use it. Tableau took all those steps out! Now I open Tableau and see all information in front of me. That's it.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few options that I would like Tableau to have. I would like to be able to put notes on the actual pages. Since I audit, I send emails and would like to record dates and findings on the actual Tableau page. So far, this isn't possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
See previous Q&A. Auditing is more streamlined.
Tableau Review

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many dislikes. It can be slow, but that is more the amount of data, rather than the program itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Tableau to pull reports on our fundraising and to see what has been added to the database. It's a quick simple reporting tool.

Tableau review
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Tableau is its ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Tableau is its UI.

Data made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive and easy to use, Tableau visualizations make data easy to understand and accessible for individuals throughout the organization. The interactive elements make it easy for users to ask questions and quickly identify trends. Plus, the Tableau community is fun and engaging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is a bit prohibitive for our smallish nonprofit. We would love to have more users, but cost per person for online access is a bit high. Also, the salespeople can be somewhat pushy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest benefit is having dashboard access throughout the organization. It's also great for people who aren't used to looking at data, and don't necessarily know what questions to ask. It's so intuitive that it allows leadership to answer their own questions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it- but try negotiating pricing!
