Recommendations to others considering the product:

Slightly overwhelming to use, but robust and extremely powerful
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed creating dashboards to show some data to coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some data I imported from Excel needed to be groomed in a way for Tableau to best understand it. Coming in with pivot tables in mind did not make things easy at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s been great to be able to visualize data in a way that makes it easy to switch between different views and ways to view data. This is something that isn’t as intuitive in Excel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with it, watch the training videos on Tableau.com, and take an in-person training if you’re able to. It’ll allow you to use Tableau to its full potential.
Brillant Visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau organizes data in a real time beautiful dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is not easily set up. It requires configuration and Salesforce knowledge on the front end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We will be giving our sales team visibility into their conversion rates.
Beautiful Data Visualization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how nice the data visualization looks. Excellent for presentation and easily understood.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that some tasks can be a little complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving how to visualize my data. I realized the benefit of making a picture from your data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better for graphing than Excel.
Powerful but not flawless
What do you like best about the product?
The table calculation is really powerful and convenient. Calculated Field and Parameters are also very useful. This is much better than Google Dashboard. With these features, SQL queries can be simplified and let Tableau do the rest of the job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once the tab name is changed and uploaded to the server, the previous link will break. Compared to excel, it lacks the flexibility to make pretty front. When I search for specific functionality usages, the tableau community or help page sometimes show very old pages and those pages never get updated.
When putting multiple sheets in dashboard, the shape or the length of the container won't adjust according to the the length of the data rows returned.
When switch data source in one sheet, all other sheets that use same data source will also be changed.
The integration with R is not that powerful. A lot of useful visualization or analysis functions in R are not support in Tableau.
The subscription feature can be improved so that users will not get report if anomaly is detected in the data.
The integration with presto is not good. It works fine in desktop but when the report is uploaded to server there will sometimes be an error message and users can't open the report on server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau Desktop can help to provide Customized Business Report. It can also help to visualize the data without using R or python. Very convenient tool to explore the data at early stage of analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Report can be very customized whether for daily reporting or for adhoc analysis.
It's really become the industry standard for distributing reports

Easy to use interface

What do you dislike about the product?
Large dashboards are still slow to display
The relationship between desktop and server is still iffy
The relationship between desktop and server is still iffy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The creation and distribution of dashboards
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The learning curve is low. Still needs some work though.
Great data visualization features but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The map features are easy to use and make nice visuals. There are many different presentation options. A lot of things are easy with drag and drop functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting font, color, and size is not intuitive. It can be hard to navigate between different data sources. I wish that you could delete records and reorder data with custom SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Tableau to display information that gets updated daily in SQL Server Management Studio. Tableau allows me to customize my presentations better than pivot tables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau can be used with little SQL knowledge but is more powerful with calculated fields using SQL.
Leading Self-Service BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is constantly upgrading their product despite it already being at the forefront of all self-service BI tools. Most aspects are very intuitive and the community is extensive and is there to help with niche problems. Customization is just about endless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Constant upgrades can leave you feeling like you are downloading a new version every time you open up Tableau and some advanced customizations feel like they could be simplified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows users to visualize data for anyone in their organization to understand easily as well as letting non-technical users easily query their databases.
Overall Tableau has been very useful for my role and company.
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to report on different data points whether it's by date, by person, or by product, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not sure if this is a Tableau restriction or our own company's data restrictions, but most reports are not real time - they take a day to upload the information from the previous day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I primarily use Tableau for reporting that pulls data from multiple systems. Since we use multiple data warehouses, Tableau has been a benefit to our company/team since when trying to do sole reporting out of Salesforce we have run into restrictions or less accurate data.
