Tableau Server - Great for Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Best for high level data visualization and cohort analysis
What do you dislike about the product?
Load times can vary with large underlying data sets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identification of trends within large data sets
Tableau Server - Where data speaks cont.
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of using Tableau server is the ability to share data across the server. I think that it's imperative that the data I am using to pull my reports can be something that anyone in the marketing department would have access to.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how often I disconnect from the server when I am trying to run various reports. I understand that the reason behind this is due to too much being asked on my end at any one time but it would be nice to go between reports without it occasionally disconnecting from the server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think the number 1 business problem that Tableau Server solves is the use of false data across a company. When we have the ability to pull the data from Salesforce into Tableau and end up getting the same data as our sales team or any other department I think we are able to address concerns as a company easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I truly believe that Tableau server much like Tableau Desktop is essential for all data analytics. I honestly don't know how else I would be able to review the data of what I do on a quarterly basis and make the difficult choices that I make with the 20+ vendors that I work with if it wasn't for this platform and these capabilities of this software.
As a basic user, I find Tableau straightforward and simple
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything has a purpose, there isn't any unnecessary clutter. I like that each icon gives a description when hovering and it's always been simple to find my way around.
What do you dislike about the product?
One frustration i've experienced is lag time while selecting multiple filters, when there are a significant amount of options, it always brings me back to the top after selecting 2-3 boxes. The interface could use some updates in terms of visual appearance, font size, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Viewing and interacting with data. I run reports for my personal performance metrics as well as using it to find project status reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can only speak to it from a basic user standpoint, but it is easy to find and run reports, the data visualization / charts are very intuitive and user-friendly.
Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
I love the graphical way it displays our complex information. Great alternative to Excel. It is a great in presenting to sales/marketing etc. It is fast in changing the views via drop down filters. I like that you can have multiple grapsh on one page.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I do not like and not sure if it is just the way our admin has created the views or not...but sometimes if I filter too many options, I have to totally close down the file and start over..it doesn't undo very wel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidated view of multiple files...Tableau provides a really nice way to view all data at once.
Tableau Desktop is an Excellent Visualization Software
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is great at creating many different kinds of visualizations, and gives you many more options to tweak the charts/graphs than Excel does.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for beginners is fairly high. It can be confusing to get tables to show up the way that you want them to - requires a lot of trial and error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to create visualizations that can be easily shared throughout the organization. We want dashboards that will easily be understood by those with all levels of analytical knowledge. By allowing everyone in the company to access dashboards, we have cut down on the analytics requests that take time away from the analytics team.

This is the one of the best data visualization tool i have used. The ability of it to connect to multiple data sources makes it unique in the market and of course with the ease of implementation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The memory needed to run these reports can be an issue sometimes, of course there are workarounds but they take time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in distributing reports which are time sensitive in a quick manner. Nothing better than that.
