Helpful Software for Creating and Publishing Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of combining multiple excel files and linking them to be able to create data visualization for my work. Once you use Tableau for awhile, creating certain charts and data points becomes easier and easier. Although I still consider myself a novice, using Tableau has been really helpful in my work. In addition, the Tableau community has been fantastic! Anytime you need help, you can easily go to the community boards and search for how others have solved their Tableau hiccups.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a novice like myself, it took me awhile to get used to using the software. If I know exactly what I want to do and am not sure how to do it, I can usually find the answers on the Tableau Community. However, sometimes it feels as though you cannot force Tableau to do what you want it to do, but rather you need to adapt to how Tableau works and be okay with "losing control" over how you want a chart to specifically look like. Once I've done that, I've noticed a lot of my frustrations I can feel at times go away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our organization has needed to create a dashboard in which we can publish online in which other departments can look through their specific utilization date (i.e. how many students have used their services/characteristics of their student populations in the aggregate). This has been very helpful and are looking forward to publishing our dashboards on the server, soon.
