Tableau is powerful - you can take almost any type of data and create impactful visualizations.

Tableau - A great visualisation tool

Creating union and merging data for extracts is where the tableau should do something as it is quite hard to understand and has a very long process. And adding images to the dashboard also looks different on web player and in desktop version which tableau should solve this

TOP in BI/DataViz (and more) market

Great visualization tool for managing big data
What do you like best about the product?
We used Tableau to manage the massive amount of data that we had our ecomm startup - it was the best way to visualize and manage the amount of data that we had available

We needed to better understand our sales trends, our customers, our products, and how each of those elements interacted with one another over time. We had thousands of customers and 5000+ products so this was a lot of data
Steep Learning Curve with Incredible Payoff
What do you like best about the product?
The online community is incredibly knowledgeable, and most, if not all, questions can be answered through online resources, forums, or official help articles.
Dashboard and report creation is also a huge plus, as there is a level of customization and flexibility unusual for similar software.

What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau does an excellent job of marketing its cloud version, but most formatting and advanced visual settings are only available in the desktop version.
Additionally, their training is a paid subscription; they don't have free options like their sister company Salesforce's "Trailhead." It feels outdated and focuses entirely on the desktop version- not the cloud.

We use Tableau in our company to create visual displays of data from various sources and applications. We work in multiple industries, and having a single source of truth for the entire company is incredibly helpful. The accessibility for board members across the board is practical and ideal.
One of the most popular visualisation tool

Tableau provides very easy to use interface with stunning colours and customisable layout. It also has very nice options like Sheets, Dashboards or Storyline based on the use. Tableau has a great user community and there are many resources available online. One can create any possible visualisation directly or indirectly by following the community posts or YouTube videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
When connected with Server for data, Tableau Desktop keeps on popping up annoying message to connect with the dataset just after a short inactivity. It is sometimes not possible to work on Tableau Desktop when there are many Datasets joined. The workaround is to close the window and restart again.

It provides a great platform to automate the Dashboarding which otherwise could be done in Excel. It is saving many hours for my team who used to refreshed the excel Dashboards at fixed cadence previously.
