Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
The drag and drop feature of creating charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I want to add a table from the same database I have been using all along, I have to re-login every time to the database, even with single sign on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are more aware of trends with regards to server and storage needs. We can anticipate the need for more storage which shortens the time to complete a request for storage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to set up, easy to use. The online videos make learning a snap.
Tableau is the greatest in data visualization.
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has great diversity in how we are able to represent some of our most complex data quandaries.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish tableau had more stat-savvy things. If we could marry the analysis of SPSS with the visualization options of Tableau I would be a happy data nerd.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need ways to take all of the data we have lingering and represent for management. We also need it to be dynamic. Nobody likes running reports (or hiring people to do it!), so the dashboard concept is invaluable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very user friendly, but remember that it's not a stats software. It will not run regressions or give you meaning; it will only help you see patterns in the data. Think of it as a savvy excel.
Deep intelligence

Provides deeper insight to specific sales metrics
What do you dislike about the product?

I really like that tableau is able to connect to many different platforms. it helps that some of my data is in excel in sql
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate that it does not have auto-saving features. I lose data all the time because my computer or tableau crashes and there is no way to restore any of it

Recommendations to others considering the product:
most popular bi tool if you need fast vis and easy use
A powerfull and complex tool
What do you like best about the product?
The visuals are excellent. Very crisp, clean, and modern. Once the report is built, I like that it can be imbedded to your website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Building the report is often very time consuming and frustrating. When connecting to a data warehouse the dates can't be edited using a filter like when connecting to other data sources. Also, there are ways of creating custom color templates, but this requires some HTML coding. Instead of just saving a color palette.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating reports that are scalable for many different users that come from many different technical backgrounds. We have been able to create custom reports that have modern visuals that are user friendly and easy to perceive action along with creating reports that the objects adjust easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it easier for first time users to connect to data and build their 1st report. It is far above other software out there, but for the price I think the learning curve may scare a lot of people. It would be nice to have a quick report feature that allows you to build common reports similar to those in excel without having to know in-depth know of Tableau. I believe that is what gets people hooked and wanting to know more. Also, the performance on rather large data sets can often take a while to load hindering people from using it the way it is intended.
