Professional Data Visualizations and Seamless Integration
What do you like best about the product?
For me, Tableau's standout features include the high quality of its data visualizations, which allow you to create professional-looking dashboards with ease and speed. I also appreciate the interactivity of the dashboards, as well as the ability to drill down into the data—this makes it a valuable tool for analyzing information by exploring various perspectives and breakdowns. Additionally, Tableau's data integration capabilities are impressive, as it can connect to a wide range of systems and data sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I find most frustrating about Tableau is how difficult it can be to perform more advanced calculations and data transformations. For instance, if you need to calculate ratios or work with data across different levels of a hierarchy, the process can become quite cumbersome. While LOD expressions are designed to help with these scenarios, they are not always straightforward to use. Additionally, Tableau's performance can suffer when handling very large datasets, especially if you are building complex dashboards at the same time. Another significant drawback is the high cost, particularly when compared to alternatives like Power BI, and this becomes even more pronounced if you need extensive licensing for a large number of users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau offers high-quality data visualization and dashboarding capabilities, making it easier to report on and explore large datasets. Its interactive features allow a wide range of users to engage with the data. While Tableau is not the only software available for these tasks, it stands out as a well-established and professional tool that performs exceptionally well. It represents a significant improvement over simply sharing spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations.
Effortless Data Management with Tableau

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any inconvinient for using Tableau. if it can have more statistical analysis will be more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Tableau because it can input equations to the control chart
Great Customisation and Versatile Connections
What do you like best about the product?
The customisation options available in the dashboard outputs and variety of connections you can make
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a little steaper than other dashboarding solutions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Displaying data with dynamic views
Transforms Complex Data into Clear Insights Instantly
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Tableau is that it helps turning big and a bit messy datasets into something visual and understandable. I can very quickly test ideas and see if there is really a trend or just noise, without having to code everything each time. I also really appreciate how easy it is to combine different datasources, like CRM data with website analytics or campaign results. For exemple, I can see how different acquisition channels contribute to sign ups and understand which one brings “real” users. Sharing dashboards with non-data people is also very helpful, because they can see the story directly in the charts, not only in numbers.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I like less in Tableau is that some advanced things are still quite hard to do, even if the tool looks simple at first sight. For instance, calculated fields or complex joins sometimes feels not very intuitive, and you need time to understand “how Tableau is thinking”. When working with big marketing datasets, dashboards can also be slow to refresh, which is a bit frustating when you just want to check one KPI quickly. Some formatting options also takes too much time for small details. Also, user management and licences are not always super clear inside bigger teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau is solving the problem of data being spread in too many tools. In acquisition, we have data in ads platforms, analytics tools, CRM, app stores, etc., and Tableau helps to bring all this together in one single view. For exemple, we can link campaign costs with conversions and revenue, and see real ROI by channel instead of guessing.
It also removes a lot of manual reporting in Excel or Slides. Instead of re-building reports every week, people just go to the dashboards and they are already updated (most of the time!). This makes decisions faster, helps detecting drops earlier, and improve budget allocation. At the end, we invest more on channels that brings better quality users, not only volume.

Tableau - Effortless, Stunning Dashboards with Flexible Customization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau makes data look good with almost no effort. You just have to drag and drop and suddenly you have got a dashboard people admire. It is super flexible when you need to build something custom, so you are not stuck with cookie‑cutter visuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau can get slow or clunky when you are working with really large datasets which kills the flow. Also the advanced stuff is not as “drag‑and‑drop easy” as the basics so you end up spending more time learning than you expect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau helps me pull data from different places into one space so instead of juggling spreadsheets, we get a single dashboard that actually makes trends obvious. It helps teams make decisions faster because everyone can explore the data interactively instead of waiting on analysts to build every chart for them.
Powerful Data Visualization, Needs AI Improvements
What do you like best about the product?
I use Tableau to visualize my data and analyze it to boost company sales and performance. It helps me properly visualize and interpret raw data, which is otherwise tough to understand. I like that Tableau has powerful analysis, fast and easy interpretation, and it makes collaboration easy. It also helps interpret heavy data to people who might have a significant issue digesting or understanding it. Additionally, it's easy to install; you can download it, set it up, import Excel, and get started.
What do you dislike about the product?
The AI features are yet not on the level as they should be and mobile experience is not so impressive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to visualize and analyze data, boosting our sales and performance. It helps me properly visualize and interpret raw data, making it easier to understand.
Visualizations That Empower Decision making
What do you like best about the product?
The visualization of metrics and data points is very interactive and clicking on a data point can take you to the underlying data which comes in handy when you want to see the supporting data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is too high for many companies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is giving you a way to show data to each level in company in a the way they want. Like management wants only high-level numbers and the various teams needs drill-down of data. All this can be shown at one place.
Vibrant Community and Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like Tableau's excellent customer service and care. It's really valuable with its responsive technical support that is quick to help and knowledgeable, which means less downtime for me. I also appreciate the comprehensive knowledge base and training that lets me learn at my own pace and find answers on my own. The supportive community forums are a big help, providing solutions and inspiration from other users and professionals. For enterprise situations, the dedicated Customer Success Managers are great for understanding and aligning Tableau with business goals. I find the native connectors and extensions helpful, as they integrate easily with other tools I use, streamlining workflows and automating processes. The cloud-hosted solutions make the setup easier since Tableau manages the infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau excels at visualization but faces criticism for high cost, scaling issues in large organizations (like managing bulk subscriptions or content), complex logic requiring workarounds (like LOD calculations), and limitations in advanced formatting, report scheduling/email layouts, and robust CI/CD integration for enterprise deployments, often needing pre-processing or extra scripting for complex tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to overcome lack of speed and improve efficiency. It provides superior self-service analytics, deeper data exploration, better visualization, easier integration, and helps escape data silos.
