    Management Consulting

Most versatile / on the go BI tool

  • January 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In my role, we often are required to quickly perform analysis for clients that tells a story. Tableau's flexibility in data visualization and ability to quickly wrangle data allows our team to present the client insights with quick turnaround, and create it in a user-friendly manner.
What do you dislike about the product?
When creating more complex and polished dashboards, formatting limitations within the tool are often a let down. We design mockups in PowerPoint and have to set expectations for clients when they translate to Tableau.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We recently visualized data related to working capital for a large oil company and created real-time dashboards in workshops that were then shared with leadership. Could not have done in another tool.


    Management Consulting

One of the best tools I have used for visualization of data

  • January 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Tableau is the amount of documentation available for new users. I feel that kind of documentation helps everyone to come onboard and try things with a tableau. I have used this software for various projects and never had a problem with any number of datasets. Indeed it is one of the best software for visualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing which does not go well with me for Tableau is the high pricing. For students, it is free up until there i20 period but it is a bit too costly for individuals. Hence, I personally feel they should regulate their pricing structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a dataset for a US pharmaceutical company and we extensively use Tableau for reporting purposes. With Tableau the data connections to different software are so seamless that it makes our jobs as consultants to visualize anything using Tableau. Hence, I recommend all the companies to use Tableau for reporting needs.

Tableau Desktop experience

  • January 29, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows to connect with multiple databases and transform your data into visualizations. It gives insights about the data to the user.
Data can be viewed in the form of multiple charts as per the requirement. It is a strong data analytics and exploration tool which gives the user a deep dive into the important aspects of data.
Tableau features stories and dashboards which gives clear understanding of what the user wants to present its audience.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working on multiple sheets the applications responses very slow.
Server connections drops which crashes the whole application.
While in presentation mode, the screen resolution tends to be uneven.
Bulk data cleanup is sometimes very cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analytics where decisions needs to be made on the basis of data an organization has, Tableau works great. It gives clear picture which is understandable to the audience. When we map and transform the bulk data into charts, specifics areas where focus needs to be made are highlighted.

What do you like best about the product?
It is best in the business tool to create any visuals. Easy to integrate with many different source files; tableau extract works faster then ever.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau server doesn't have ability to make changes in the server itself. There are other tools like Qlik, where you can make changes in the server. To make changes to Tableau workbook, you need to make changes in desktop version first, then upload to the server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating day-to-day analysis with tableau then publishing on Tableau server to present to clients and higher ups
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy of collaboration with multiple people in your team.

Tableau smart

  • January 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the ease and simplicity with which you can build control boards and the layout of maps to facilitate even more the monitoring of projects.The availability of different graphics facilitates the construction of different approaches for analysis and evaluation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be interesting to be able to interact with the points on the map, as well as the graphics to avoid placing filters in the interface. On the other hand, it is necessary to use tachometer-type graphics to apply them in some performance indicators.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problems that I am solving with this tool is the monitoring of projects and the diagnosis of areas of interest to make structural decisions in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend it because it is a versatile, simple and easy to use tool, which in turn offers multiple options to make business intelligence without major investments of time and money.

Easy to use analytical tool

  • January 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The presentation and to ease of working around with various dashboards and results in tableau fascinate me. The data presented can be far more impactful than a ton of raw data
What do you dislike about the product?
The saving method where you cannot save something privately and causes you to share a bunch of info that you would not have if it were for a local file saving
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sense of a bunch of data and observing patterns and hence predicting various outcomes based on that

Exceptional app for data visualization

  • January 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I learned about this app in my university, and was amazed by its capabilities. Tableau is the most user friendly yet powerful app for visualizing data and getting meaningful insights out of it. Its also a great tool for working on multiple dataset simultaneously and drawing correlations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app is perfect in all aspects with only one drawback, i.e. data cleaning in somewhat difficult due to limited features. If you have been using excel to clean the data, then you would see the shortcomings in tableau.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analysis and visualization for large business related datasets.

Data-Viz Is the Biz

  • January 25, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has incredible data visualization tools and the ability to parse massive datasets. I can easily build dashboards and stories that can be shared with executives and other high-level stakeholders. Furthermore, Tableau is great for producing team dashboards that can be used for tactical execution on projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau has the annoying feature that saved database connections must be re-authenticated every time you open the program. This makes using data "lakes" very difficult. Another thing that frustrates me about Tableau sometimes is that dashboards are not as easily shared without a Tableau server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While I use other products for data cleansing and prep, Tableau allows me to easily and quickly create appealing AND informative data visualizations. It's creative stock of different chart formats and spatial tools allows you to show data almost any way, making it easy to adapt visualizations to differing needs and tastes of executives.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau is great for creating blended dashboards from multiple databases. If you are considering using Tableau, keep in mind that you will want to ensure you have another data-preparation product. Even so, I highly recommend Tableau simply for its creative visualizations and the ease with which I can take my datasets and produce dashboards for tactical executions as well as high level executive information.
