One of the best tools to measure everything about your group
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is simple, yet complex. It offers some amazing ways to measure every detail about the people and products you need to know about.
What do you dislike about the product?
The splash pages aren't as intuitive as I'd like, but once you get past that, the rest is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We know where we're at. We know where we need to grow. We know where we're winning
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find someone to be the expert within your company so that one person can own the details and creation of the systems within Tableau. The reports are intuitive enough that they will be helpful to anyone else who gets a brief overview of how to use the system.
Old School Goodness but somehow lackluster
What do you like best about the product?
Neat Data migration capabilities. Diverse data streams inclusivity possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too clumsy and hard to navigate. ETL recognition could be much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product fits very well in the Tableau suite of products but to use it with a difffent source makes it a tad difficult
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look out for hyper-lean new age solutions like the SiSense platform which is much much faster than Tableau in every aspect. The ETL and data migration is much easier to cross link as well.
Great for information sharing
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau Server is a great tool for information sharing as multiple users can access published workbooks in a controlled environment. I find the dashboards to be particularly useful for visualizing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it a bit difficult for reporting purposes as the dashboard containers aren't able to adjust to fit nicely on a page for printing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a way to easier see quarterly movements in multiple dimensions and this created a great framework to do so.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that Tableau isn't backwards compatible. As a user publishing workbooks from Tableau Desktop to Server, this is important that the versions are in sync.
Helpful, professional reporting software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I am able to track key metrics for my employees using Tableau's easy-to-use reporting framework.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given the high level of data we have in my company, it can take some time to refresh the reports. I also know we have issues syncing our data with Mitel at an 'on-demand' basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Looking at key performance metrics for our staff has been tough. With Tableau, we can quantify this data in ways that we would never have thought of. This is especially great for creating effective presentation graphics as the visuals are quite aesthetic.
Tableau Server: Easy to Get Started, and Maintain
What do you like best about the product?
It took only minutes to set up. Soon thereafter we were publishing models for users to utilize.
It takes little to manage Tableau Server on an ongoing basis.
It takes little to manage Tableau Server on an ongoing basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau Server does not offer any solution for version control on its published models.
I also found it difficult at times to discover the root causes of failed scheduled tasks.
It would be nice to have some more optimization tools in order to get the most out of the models being offered and the resources required to refresh the data on an ongoing basis,
Pricing to expose Tableau models on websites is expensive.

Pricing to expose Tableau models on websites is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have realized countless business problems over many knowledge areas.
Most importantly, we have moved from a model of printing/emailing reports to Branch Managers on a daily basis, most of which was ignored, or far too much time was required of them to analyse to one that allows them to get information on demand, that is drillable and flexible enough to allow for ad-hoc discovery.
This has allowed us to be more agile.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Software was very supportive of our efforts to deploy Tableau Server. They offered copious amounts of help, and made resources available to us when required. We are not a big account for them, but were not treated as an afterthought.
We would recommend to start small. It is fast to start, and with little prototyping the results will quickly justifying further investment.

Powerful product, takes some time to learn.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to handle a large range of data sources. Good user groups to help me discover what to build.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a steep learning curve, but lots of resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to visualize Qualtrics data in a dashboard that can be shared with my entire company.
Great tool for data visualization and more!
What do you like best about the product?
Data loading is a breeze. The interface is simple and easy to use. The visualizations are wonderful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes a while to process large datasets. Creating an extract helps but not all the times. Need to have data formatted in the right format to to anything worthwhile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big data visualizations. We have been able to offer our members so much more now that we use tableau. Visualizations and data manipulation is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes. Plus the data is all right there if a member wants to see a certain cut.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free desktop version to visualize data. The best way to get used to it is to just start playing around. You will love what you come out with!
Useful BI tool for self sevice analytics
What do you like best about the product?
An easy reporting tool to start with for a beginner. Ability to connect many data sources and create impressive looking visualizations easily. Let's you to create compelling, interactive visualizations on your own with just drag & drop.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need highly sophisticated, interactive, customizable visualizations and a powerful desktop analytics engine, Tableau is becoming an industry standard.
Give it a shot, more powerful than most of the analytics tool.
Ease of use needs some work though.

Best modern analytics app
What do you like best about the product?
Mobile first approach towards app building is one of the best thing about Wave Analytics
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall app is really safe and well implemented but it's too expensive to use for small companies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this to analyze our customer reports and come up with new products based on customer feedback.
Terrific product for visual analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Implements Few and Tufte's best practices, making it easier to design and develop clear, understandable visualization. Allows you to explore data visually and make connections that you wouldn't see in a table. Allows you to test out several different visualizations quickly and efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs better data wrangling capabilities so that I don't have to do so much pre-work with the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating attractive visualizations and dashboards for senior management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not a replacement for your standard BI when it comes to reports, tables, etc, but far superior in terms of visualizations and dashboards, and very easy to get started with.
