Robust system with a minimalistic interface
What do you like best about the product?
It allows us to access our data using a variety of parameters to get at the specific data points that we need. It is the most robust system that we use. Plus, the "Dictionary" function is particularly helpful when looking for an obscure report or onboarding new team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quick time-out on the product (both from within each report - as the report will default back to original settings - and from an account automatic log-out) is counter-productive when trying to multi-task. The interface isn't particularly attractive, and it can sometimes be confusing to navigate. A less Tableau-responsible issue is that our data isn't updated in real time (there is a +1 day delay on all of our data between our internal database and Tableau).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal reporting, this is how we access our internal order data from our subscription service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a good system if your business fits within one industry category (example, ecommerce only). If you have multiple sectors of your business, then you might need this in addition to another reporting feature depending on how you can tie your order system into Tableau.

Easy Platform for Sharing Tableau Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to publish dashboards from Tableau desktop to Tableau Server in order to share them with users throughout my company. Tableau Server allows user access to be customized so people can view exactly what is relevant to them. Users can also download reports and dashboards for offline use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau Server can be slow at times depending on the internet connection. It is also somewhat glitchy at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau Server allows us to share dashboards and reports to users throughout the organization. It is easy to access via an internet connection and can be accessed using a computer or mobile device.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a lot of people that will be viewing Tableau dashboards this is a cost effective and easy way to do it. It is a much better option than emailing large Tableau files to each user.
Easy to access data.
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and ease in which I can maneuver my data & how interactive it is.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it’s a little “techy” and can feel over my head, but I’m learning the format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Year over year and month over month comparisons between data sets and analytics breakdowns.
Data Insights for Sales
What do you like best about the product?
I like the customized reports the system makes into easy to use slide decks. I also like the level of depth into the data the system goes. We really like using it to dig into customer success and creating case studies for prospects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on the report pulled, it can be very slow to load. Occasionally the reports are not easy to manipulate and need to be set up by an administrator.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it in sales heavily. The software allows us to demonstrate value of our services to our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a strong set of data and take time to set up the most relevant reports.
Tableau Server - Great for Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Best for high level data visualization and cohort analysis

Identification of trends within large data sets
As a basic user, I find Tableau straightforward and simple
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything has a purpose, there isn't any unnecessary clutter. I like that each icon gives a description when hovering and it's always been simple to find my way around.
What do you dislike about the product?
One frustration i've experienced is lag time while selecting multiple filters, when there are a significant amount of options, it always brings me back to the top after selecting 2-3 boxes. The interface could use some updates in terms of visual appearance, font size, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Viewing and interacting with data. I run reports for my personal performance metrics as well as using it to find project status reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can only speak to it from a basic user standpoint, but it is easy to find and run reports, the data visualization / charts are very intuitive and user-friendly.
Complex but incredibly powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Huge options for power users. Great visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extremely complicated. If you don't get something "right," it's hard to make the visualization do what you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization. Helps everyone see results in the same way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely need to be committed to learning this software if you're going to buy it.
Graphical Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Efficient graph generation making interactive dashboards
What do you dislike about the product?
Creation of data feeds in a format to obtain desired graph
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create dashboards for excel based reports . It’s more presentable
Best software for visualisation
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau doesn’t move your data. Tableau resolves its queries on the database itself and only displays the graph or chart. The data stays securely in your existing database.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customization of charts are difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to build the dashboard. If any changes needs to be made, it can be done quickly without having a longer wait time.
Tableau is a great visualization tool but hard to learn
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a fun and useful tool to make presentations and visualizations of data that you cannot do with Microsoft Excel. It is especially good when you have to do reporting that is completed on an ongoing basis. There are many options to work with the data and the ability to work with geographic, SQL, sales, etc types of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is extremely hard to master and very often you have to learn by trial and error. Some functions are not intuitive at all and it is very slow to work on Tableau. Also, you generally have to format the data perfectly first on MS Excel or SQL to ensure that Tableau can work most efficiently. It is a data visualization tool, not a tool to parse through data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed me to view trends and solve business questions that would otherwise take me longer to complete, visualization, and think about.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely use it if you are doing reporting. It is hard to learn but can be worth it. If it is easier analysis or one-off analysis, definitely stick to MS Excel.
