Great for visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is great for visualizing analytic-ready data. It's helpful for the end users to be able to interact with the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of work needs to happen before the dataset ever gets put into Tableau. Tableau is strictly for visuals, not anything else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ways to automate monthly reports so all we need to do is upload to Tableau Server every month. It saves so much time once you put in the work up front.

Efficient but needs work

There always seemed to be lags and bugs. it was hard to use Tableau with other documents open at the same time.

Organizing stats and data
Efficient if you have good background coding team

All information at fingertips. Merging of files and effortless navigation for the most part.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could take a while to get exactly what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems, certain "Tabs" are down, benefits are simultaneous reports run at the same time I'd then have to find on various platforms at work.
Lots of upside and ability to do complex analysis but hard to get used to
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are lots of options and I feel like I can do complex analyses using the software. The ability to extract or have a live feed of data is also a big plus for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the software is expensive and not so easy to use I can't create cards or dashboards for execs in the company that they can then take and modify. For that reason, and because I'm not able to share with other people so easily I prefer Domo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use tableau to make many graphs quickly. When I'm looking at many segments, it's easy to switch between different views and filters.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lots of people look to hire people with Tableau so from that perspective it's worth learning, otherwise I would say there are other products that are better.

N/A as this is used to measure metrics in my Account Mgmt sales role.
