Easy-to-learn, easy-to-use data visualization tool

  • August 20, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Tableau, I feel, is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps any novice user to learn the tool and start using it very quickly. Filters and parameters provide a nice touch of interactivity to visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of templates for commonly-used visualizations such as donuts, radars and speedometers which makes the user resort to workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a management consultant and I've worked predominantly with manufacturing companies. I've used Tableau to create visualizations that enabled my clients to reduce procurement costs, monitor building HVAC systems, identify bottlenecks in shop floor operations etc. In the procurement scenario, we found that the client would be able to save $2.00 on each order of a specific part if they procured it from a different supplier. In another situation, we were able to identify process bottlenecks, the elimination of which would enable the client to produce 30 more products per month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Will recommend it over Microsoft Power BI.

great data visualizations

  • August 15, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user can easily create graphs and create calculated fields by just dragging and dropping the fields required.
The dashboards are very easy to create and a user does not have to have specific knowledge of any technology to understand Tableau.
What do you dislike about the product?
it is quite expensive to buy and cannot be used for personal/small business use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
create charts and generate reports
I have been able to create high-quality charts without needing to aggregate data separately or using a lot of steps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau offers free usage for students. I recommend that all students learn tableau if possible as it does not involve any technical knowledge to learn.

Tableau the viz champ

  • August 10, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
> Ease of use
> Splendid visuals
> Power to unleash creativity
> Blending different axis to create innovative visuals
> Integration with web pages and other technologies like CMS (Drupal, websphere)
What do you dislike about the product?
> Not flexible with blend/joins of data items
> Does not offer query support
> Security setup is complex and not at par with industry standards
> Does not offer good reporting capabilities
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
> I am into HR analytics and we are responsible for delivering KPIs and other business metrics related to headcount, wagebase and positions
> Tableau has been our go-to tool for all HR analytics and BI visualization requirements
> We have been able to create complex calculations for better analysis
> We have been able to import and use infographics for different kinds of analysis where normal tableau visuals proved relatively ineffective
> We have been able to provide our users self service dashboards where they can log in and filter down to the exact data they need for their analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
> Please use tableau if you are not too much focused on getting data dumps
> It is recommended that users invest in a good data blending tool in order to prepare and cleanse the data before using it in tableau
> Tableau runs faster on flattened denormalized datasets
> I would also advise users to consider creating their TDE ( tableau data extracts) before using any data for the tableau sheets

Helped us take our Analytics to next level

  • August 02, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has ability to connect to almost any available data source. And in many cases you can blend your data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Designing your dashboard and applying formatting to all pieces is challenging. If you really like to have your dashboards look great - you have to spend some time on layout and formatting. There is no easy way to use a theme or apply formatting from one dashboard to other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Tableau as our organization wide data reporting tool. It took us some time but with the help of Tableau we are able to adapt self serve analytics model.

I conduct risk monitoring activity report reviews using this platform

  • July 27, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Most importantly, the graphics and visualization showing different data elements clearly help define our company's engagement activities and help our organizations make decisions as a result of what we see. They also help me and my team explain trends and statistics much more easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have noticed that when our data expands t include more than just names but multiple variables that connect with other page views, data freezes. Tableau Server stop working effectively. Filters may not work and then, visualization is skewed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
capture of risk of certain engagements and activities between company representatives and stakeholders.

Great Reporting Tool

  • July 26, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of the reporing views, tables and charts. Tableau turns out very professional looking reports that are useful and easy for the client to view.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not well versed in programming, so have difficulty sometime determining how to create certain fields that I need to show on my reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Giving clients a clear view of results from various programs including PPC, Organic search and Pay-Per-Call platforms. One huge benefit is being able to easily go back in history to pull and compare past performance. Highlight trends over time and across various media.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that everyone using Tableau go through an in-person training session to be bale to fully understand everyting that Tableau can do with your data. It's only a good as the data that is inputting, so you need to make sure everything you might possibly need now of in the future is included in the data source.
