A visualization is worth 1,000 words
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau makes it easy to take my data, combine it with other data, and create a visualization that really tells a story. There are so many things that are easy to see in a visualization of the data that are very difficult to see in the raw data. Tableau allows me to easily create complex filters so that I can hone in on just the data I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigating a visualization isn't as intuitive as it could be. One of our visualization is a map and Google maps has much better navigation. I wish there was an easy way to overlay a scale onto a map so distances between point could be calculated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We map sales data to determine under served areas based on population densities, and we all use the map to locate customers near a prospect's location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have data in Excel that you need to quickly and easily analyze with capabilities beyond those found in Excel, then Tableau Desktop would be a good fit for you.

Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility of visualizations, complex user permissions including row-based security, simple cloud hosting option, lots of supported data-sources, tableau prep provides good data cleaning and organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau prep cannot be scheduled, steep learning curve for new users, no good interface for creating calculations, cannot create user-defined functions, sometimes difficult to determine what needs to be done to create the view you’re looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Live-updating reports, visualizations connected directly to data source, bypassing the need for exporting to excel.

the best

it's intuitive. anyone can use it. allows you to answer questions very quickly and move from thought to thought creating visuals to answer questions every step of the way.
What do you dislike about the product?
inter-row calculations can be difficult. also wish there was better documentation/governance/transparency in the calculations (though Tableau Prep is a very promising step)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use tableau desktop for ad hoc analysis, compliance reporting, performance measurement, survey results visuals, predictive analytics, data QA. It's always the first tool for me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of all the free training on their website. Engage in the customer forums and user community, especially voting for new features (Tableau developers rely heavily on votes when determining what to add in quarterly updates)
Why use Tableau for visual reporting

Easily accessible anytime/anywhere for clients, automated a lot of manual updated to charts and graphs in excel that were pdf and emailed out.
More robust visualization of data and metrics that were not available in excel, SAS or business objects

Evaluate the time and resources currently dedicated to maintaining reporting/metrics that could be shifted to analytics using Tableau. Also great way to present data vs. the usual power point presentations that take time to create/update for each meeting.
