Effortless Data Transformation with Minor Hurdles
What do you like best about the product?
I like how quickly I can turn raw data into meaningful visuals without writing a lot of code, and I really enjoy the drag and drop feature, which makes exploring easy. I use Tableau to go from raw data to insights very fast. The Tableau desktop setup was pretty easy, including installing the tool, connecting to Excel/CSV files, and the user onboarding process was simple too. I would rate it 9 out of 10, it's excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find complex calculations to be tricky. Basic calculations are easy, but advanced table calculations are difficult to express. When a table calculation breaks, it's hard to see why. It's difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to solve manual reporting in Excel, eliminate repeated copy-paste work, and consolidate scattered data by showing all KPIs in one dashboard. It helps me go from raw data to insights fast, turning raw data into meaningful visuals without extensive coding.
Easy to Learn, Stunning Tableau Dashboards with Minimal Coding
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is easy to learn because it requires almost no coding. With a little training, anyone can start using it quickly. Its biggest strength is the ability to create stunning visualization dashboards from data, which can then be presented clearly to business partners or management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating dashboards with complex charts isn’t always easy or intuitive. Collaboration with teammates can also be difficult, especially when multiple rewrites are involved and version control becomes messy. On top of that, Tableau workbooks are version-controlled in a way that doesn’t work well across different Tableau versions, which makes sharing and maintaining them more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting insights from messy data and otherwise boring tables is much easier with Tableau. It really helps me create dashboards and present data clearly to business partners and stakeholders. I used it multiple times during my analytics work at a previous company in the financial sector. For credit card fraud model KPI management and model reviews, I relied on Tableau to pull the key information together and communicate it effectively.
Empowers Data Visualization with Predictive Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Tableau's features, especially its ability to create productivity and predict things before they happen from the dashboard, like statistics. I find its predictive capabilities very useful for seeing my upcoming KPIs and understanding what they could be like next month. The features help me in creating dashboards efficiently, even with minimal information, and I find it very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't see any AI features in Tableau, which would be very useful. Having AI features like chat would make it a lot more easier. The initial setup was quite challenging, but we sorted it out in time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create dashboards with minimal information, and it's very easy to use. I like its productivity features, and it helps predict key metrics like monthly KPIs, enhancing decision-making.
Easy-to-Use Tableau That Saves Time with Fast Data Integration and Support
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best tools for business analysis tasks. It’s easy to use and easy to implement without any hassle. In my daily work, I manage a lot of data, and Tableau helps me save time by bringing all my data onto my screen within minutes. I integrated it with multiple tools that I already use, which also saves time on data management. I also love Tableau’s customer support for their instant responses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far, based on my usage over the last 3 years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data management and big data analytics that save time through bulk data uploads and automation integration for pulling data from multiple sources. It typically streamlines my daily business routine by making it easier to manage all the data related to program management and support better decision-making.
Flexible for Analysts, Challenging for Non-Technical Users
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Tableau is very flexible for data analysts. It has a lot of functionalities to build in SQL and to use custom coding into your visualizations as well as your data cleanup. Being a data analyst myself, this flexibility in creating visualizations makes it valuable because I can be more flexible on the visualizations that I create, not restricted by the platform itself. Tableau is user-friendly with a lot of functionalities that allow me to create different graphics and also perform data cleanup. It also resolved the issue of bringing in data from different channels, merging it, cleaning it up, and creating visualizations using that final dataset.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't work well for non-technical users and is hard to navigate for dashboards. Tableau Reader is a terrible program and doesn't work for many people. It's confusing when trying to share dashboards with other users. The initial setup was terrible because the interface doesn't work well with other integrations and kept erroring out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau for making user-friendly data visualizations, merging data from different channels, and cleaning data to create insightful graphics.
Easy Dashboards, Clear Data, and Smooth Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Displays data in a consumable way, makes filtering easy, can create dashboards easily and save them, can be integrated with other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
With a big database can be extremely slow to load
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast, Interactive Dashboards for QA Insights with Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about Tableau is how easily and quickly it turns data into clear, interactive visualizations. As a QA Analyst Engineer, I use it in my day-to-day work to validate large datasets, track error trends, and monitor test execution metrics without having to manually rummaging spreadsheets. Its drag-and-drop interface makes it straightforward to build dashboards that surface anomalies, failures, and patterns in test results, so I can spot issues faster and stay on top of what’s happening. Another big upside is how Tableau can handle large volumes of data from different sources. I can easily integrate easily Tableau with databases, test management tools, logs etc. and implement seamlessly. Also the customer service is great and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance can sometimes be an issue when working with very large datasets, detailed logs, or multiple live connections. In QA, we occasionally analyze millions of records from automation results, and dashboards can start to feel sluggish if they aren’t properly optimized. Another thing is Licensing cost which is also something to consider, especially for teams that only need lightweight reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau solves the problem of turning large, messy QA data into meaningful, easy-to-understand insights. In a Quality environment, data is often spread across test management tools (like JIRA, TestRail, Trello, etc.), automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Azure DevOps), and databases. Tableau helps bring all of that information together so we can analyze quality metrics (bug trends, defect density, etc.) in one place, instead of jumping between multiple systems. It also addresses the burden of manual reporting by updating dashboards automatically, which saves time and reduces human error.
Great Community and Plenty of Data Source Connection Options
What do you like best about the product?
Great community, and lots of data source connection options.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could be a bit more intuitive. For example, it would help to be able to access all the different data sources easily from one place, rather than having to switch tabs to view the corresponding data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several ad metrics that are easier to track in Tableau, since the data is available in BigQuery. We just need a job to periodically update Tableau’s copy of the data so everything stays current and works as expected.
Powerful Visualization, But Challenging Advanced Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Tableau has several prompts or the Show Me button, where I can choose what I want my final chart to look like and only have to add the data it tells me it needs. It makes building in Tableau a lot easier and faster than starting from scratch and is a good way to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the steep learning curve for advanced features, which feels unreachable for casual users or anyone other than a fully committed data analyst. I have seen drop-downs that have effects on maps in Tableau, and while dynamic workbooks are neat, they require a lot of careful setup. I wish there was a button or trigger to add filters more easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to compile data on day-to-day operations. It solves the problem of inaccessible data by enabling me to visualize it, making it clear what problems or issues need fixing.
