Sophisticated business intelligence tool that is fast developing into the go-to standard

  • November 28, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent import flexibility and fairly sophisticated field mapping compatibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
Publishing to workbooks could be easier, and exported files can quickly get pretty bloated. External support for libraries of visualizations would be very helpful to the community, so we don't need to reinvent the wheel. Mobile support would be useful, especially for use on tablets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building custom dashboards is a lot easier now and I am now shaving a couple hours per week vs. our internal solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Friendlier alternative to SpotFire. Server platform is more flexible than Tibco's model.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If importing 3rd party data it is important to have APIs and dashboards set up by an IT professional - do not attempt this as an intermediate user

Potential for powerful insight into your data

Our data lives in multiple places, so Tableau helps us to combine that data in one place to gain better insight through all kinds of charts and views.

Tableau helps us to compile multiple data sources and use them to see a more holistic view of our data.

Tableau - A tool for Data Visualization

  • November 05, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It helps us to visualize and understand data. Helps in business analysis, predict market trends. Caters to the needs of an organization. Can be integrated with different kinds of data sources like excel, csv, different kinds of databases like Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle. The latest version of tableau allows data from different sources to be accessed at the same time from different sources and create cross data joins. This helps in the analytics tremendously. Custom geographic locations can also be created using latest version of tableau.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need some understanding of statistics to use this software, cannot retrieve previous versions of the same file created. So, version management is a problem. Left joins cannot be created during data loading. These need to be created separately using blends. Dashboard interface is not easy to use. It's difficult to adjust and place the different sheets in dashboard while working on a laptop. takes up a lot of memory. High license cost. The data cleansing features of tableau needs to be improvised. It understands data only in certain predefined format. Loading and refreshing data is slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Intelligence tool: Analyze sales, predict business trends, analyze profits/loss, analyze ROI. The enterprise data analysis has helped in making decisions and improve business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use tableau if you don't want to code. You can analyze the data in charts, bar graphs, pie diagrams form. This kind of visualization helps the marketing team to study the data.
