Extremely intuitive and works well when Excel fails

  • October 19, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Have been working on this tool since the last ~18 months I have joined ISB for Analytics course. This is a great tool to learn specifically to slice-and-dice data to perform Exploratory Data Analysis and understand different nuances of data. This works really well and the best feature you can add up to 6 dimensions of data on the same graph and still make it easy and intuitive to understand. Dashboards and story feature really are a differentiator and helps you to create powerful presentations which sometimes is a big differentiator. Also, the fact that it can data much bigger than what Excel can take to process and conduct analysis differentiates it. Haven't use Power BI, hence can't compare but this tool does its job pretty well. It doesn't have a steep learning curve as well as you'd find abundant videos on YouTube and dozen other educational resources if you want to create a particular analysis on it, hence overall love the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular to be honest, for my usage it has served the purpose. Haven't used it as a cloud solution so can't really comment about that aspect of usage as well in comparison to competitor product such as Power BI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Perform EDA on Data and create powerful visualizations. It really works in that aspect and works handy in creating dashboards and stories which are a key differentiator in explaining difficult concepts easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For high volume data, this tool is very intuitive and would save your Business Analysts a lot of time and can help you optimize a lot of tasks.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use is something I love about this. Not such a steep learning curve

The ability to work online or on the desktop. Ability to integrate spatial and dimensional visualizations to create an impact are a few features that I love

Calculations and parameters can sometimes be hard to workaround. Would definitely be easier if they have another option.
Dates aren't the easiest to work with.
More Geo Visual Options and general visualizations would be good to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing the data in front of the stakeholders to create a usable format that is easily digestible and usable.

Also trying to analyze metrics and trends that we are seeing in the industry that we work in is easier now than using a spreadsheet
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With a Varied functionality and abilities on the cloud and in desktop mode, it's easy to implement analytics and visualization software that could be really helpful to harness the power of data and give you useful insights. Dashboards and reports are a breeze to build out and share across the organization along with securing the data with persmissions

Quality data analysis and graphic representations

  • October 16, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how many different ways you can plot data and the ease at which you can analyze and compare data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how you cannot pull data from multiple spreadsheets at a time without overlapping the data and I also think the software is not the most intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to identify the methods for producing the best quality biotherapeutics. Tableau helps sift through data quickly and identify important samples.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have someone who has already used Tableau help you when starting to use the software.

A powerful end-to-end analysis tool, a bit expensive.

  • October 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is really a powerful tool. It is capable of analyze GBs of data in minutes and to create graphs and customized views. All the generated graphs are navigable in real time by filtering, bounding and aggregating metrics. I'm really surprised how many data sources are integrated into this application, capable of connecting to almost any database for real-time analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
The subscription fees are expensive. I tried the trial version and my company is evaluating the possibility to buy some licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is possible to analyse almost on any device a lot of data, simply by selecting metrics and aggregation functions. It is possible to export the graphs, in order to put them on websites without give up the possibility to interact real-time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Thanks to the visual and interactive analysis, you can solve difficult questions and quickly get all the answers you need to boost your business. Take into account the possibility of using free software, since Tableau licenses are quite expensive.

Super Easy to Report Data

  • October 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to show data in a variety of different ways - from graphs to charts - so that everyone can understand. It is pretty easy to teach as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how in different windows, it is hard to have multiple charts to more easily compare the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The big problem Tableau is solving is the issue with excel. When you have a lot of data in excel, excel is not always as efficient or will crash. Tableau helps because you can link the data to excel and make charts without the application crashing.

Most of the latest versions come with bugs which gets fixed in the latest release. However, the latest release itself comes up with new bugs.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau although is costly compared to other tools available in the market but once you get addicted to using it, you won't find any other tool that matches Tableau
