Intuitive Visualization, Smooth Data Handling, Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I use Tableau mainly for data visualization and analysis; it helps me turn raw data into useful insights. It solves issues like converting raw data into understandable, clear data that even non-tech folks can grasp easily and handles large datasets. Tableau makes it easy to create dashboards with a variety of charts, graphs, filters, and maps. I also value how clean and professional the dashboards look. The initial setup didn't take much time, and connecting to SQL and Excel was guided, which helped with getting started.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the large learning curve for advanced features a bit challenging. Also, the performance can lag with large datasets, and the licensing and pricing can be limitations. Although I rated it 9/10, I would have given it a 10/10 if not for these issues.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Tableau is very powerful, there are a few areas that could be improved. Advanced calculations and custom logic can sometimes feel unintuitive and require workarounds. Tableau could offer a step-by-step calculation evaluator, similar to a debugger, where users can see intermediate results of complex calculated fields. Clearer error messages (e.g., showing which part of a nested calculation failed) would reduce trial-and-error, especially with LOD expressions and table calculations.
