There is a definitely a learning curve with Tableau, and the performance at least on a Mac can be spotty at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We help companies understand the human behaviors around their big data, allowing for better insight into customers wants and needs. Tableau helps us turn data into easy to understand visualizations for clients.

What do you dislike about the product?
When using geographical data for analysis, the databases on Tableau are very detailed in the USA, but if you need to analyze data with coordinates of geographic referecese or zip codes outside the USA, it is difficult to do so.
Sometimes the user needs to work extra in detailing the different characteristics of a variable (ex. number, zip code, character/text, etc.)

Tableau 10.3 & Server Review
What do you like best about the product?
It's the most powerful data visualization tool. I like the ability to create calculated fields, parameters and the easy drag and drop features. tableau server can be used to create filters by usernames which is cool if you want to personalize the dashboards by user names. It has endless customization features. It can be connected to almost every data source. Tableau is also constantly adding new data sources. One of the coolest features is DATA BLENDING which we can use to combine data from multiple sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have direct connection to Dynamics CRM :( - So, I have to connect to a middleware for creating dashboards from Dynamics CRM. Well, it's competitor POWER BI has the ability to use R programming directly for data manipulation. In Tableau, we have to use the STRING FUNCTIONS to use R which is inconvenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating scalable dashboards. It's ability to combine data from multiple sources by using data blending helps to get one view of disparate data spread across multiple data sources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a beautiful tool and constantly evolving. Wait fro the Dynamics CRM Connector to unleash its true power for creating Sales dashboard. It's slightly expensive though.
Tableau - Data Visulalization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows my team to more easily visualize data across multiple sources. It is an incredible resource not only for viewing our own data, but sharing with clients. With multiple data sources across numerous platforms, Tableau has allowed us to create a one stop shop for all of our data needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be more intuitive. If you are not a trained Tableau user it can be difficult to cut and change the data as needed. This proves difficult with sharing data views with clients.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With multiple data sources across numerous platforms, Tableau has allowed us to create a one stop shop for all of our data needs. We use tableau for both internal data read outs for optimization of media as well as sharing data with clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A strong coding/data analytics team is needed when porting multiple sources of data into Tableau.
Great for data visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows me to take a large collection of data, and turns them into great visualizations. The design is pretty intuitive. I love that the product is well built out and mature--there are great communities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not as easy to learn--it requires a significant training phase for successful deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work for a company with many and large sets, Tableau was a little hard to learn at first, but it helped me visualize trends with the data and make educated decisions on the product. I would have not been able to do this with excel. q
Great data visualization software
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed how the software allowed me to create pivot tables on steroids. I could show all of my business needs visually instead of using a second rate pivot table.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve was rather steep to master.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to explain a paragraph's worth of data in one simple chart
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is difficult to master at first, but keep toying with it or take a class and you will be able to fully harness the power of Tableau.
Excellent data visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau gives you a lot of flexibility to create graphs and dashboards to visualize your data
What do you dislike about the product?
Parsing your data to get exactly what you would like to graph/visualize is not as easy as other tools such as Microsoft Power BI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzing data, creating graphs, creating reports
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Also check out Microsoft Power BI to compare features and pricing
Great BI tool for the novice data scientist, but lacks functionality for advanced users
What do you like best about the product?
For those coming from Excel spreadsheets and workbooks, this is a great tool that's very friendly and easy to use. You are easily able to connect to data from many sources and easily visualize and aggregate information.
The server works very well with Desktop and with features like alerts, email subscriptions, and auto refreshes, this is far superior to the industry gold standard Crystal Reports.

What do you dislike about the product?
For advanced users Tableau is very limited. It is very limited on count distinct and usually requires a "hack" to get most things working. As an example, combining sums and count distinct in a single sheet is not easy, especially when dealing with calculated grand totals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Key reporting on financial and operational data to solve day to day problems.
Powerful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop report build; custom calculations
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of a learning curve for formatting. I'm not sure if this is truly a dislike on the product or a matter of manipulating my fields to show value in the visualization. The same data points in different periods don't always highlight a trend; so I will manipulate towards something actionable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transformed data in to actionable information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have not used the server version as it can get pricey.
