Good product
What do you like best about the product?
If your company is heavily invested in Salesforce and it's your go-to system record and you aren't using Wave - you need to seriously consider it. It has a learning curve, but not unlike any other BI tool. It has dashboards that come out of the box that can be useful for some but otherwise is extremely customizable. They are continually investing on the platform and providing improvements, still some to be made.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you aren't used to BI tools and don't have an expert in house, the terminology can be difficult to understand at first (ie: building lenses - or datasets) and it may take some time to grasp. It can also be expensive, but in our case it has more than provided value for our team to help improve decision making abilities. My one biggest fault with SFDC is that any kind of real time support service is an add-on, so you'll need to be patient if you require help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Amazing visual experience for your data. Users find it so much easier to use and view data as well, which allow them to drive their performance in the right directions. The visualization of data not just from salesforce but also from outside systems is a huge plus as well, as now we can see all of our data in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More functionalities needs to be added.We all know it is improving but when compared to other BI tools like Tableau, some features are lagged.
A very powerful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility for a wide range of reporting needs. Before Tableau we were primarily using Excel for our quarterly metrics, but Tableau is a much more efficient solution since it saves dashboads layouts
What do you dislike about the product?
It's tricky to track trending data (i.e. annualizing turnover) without a pretty advanced skillset/experience with the product (especially trying to use level of detail expressions).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Tableau for our quarterly and annual HR metrics. We've also found it to be a helpful internal tool to monitor pay equity and other metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the free trainings and determine ahead of time if it's options are right for your metrics/how much data manipulation you will need to do to make your data Tableau-friendly.

Quick problem solving, easy to drill down to data from a big set, visually appealing
One of the best tools I have used for visualization of data
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature of Tableau is the amount of documentation available for new users. I feel that kind of documentation helps everyone to come onboard and try things with a tableau. I have used this software for various projects and never had a problem with any number of datasets. Indeed it is one of the best software for visualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing which does not go well with me for Tableau is the high pricing. For students, it is free up until there i20 period but it is a bit too costly for individuals. Hence, I personally feel they should regulate their pricing structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a dataset for a US pharmaceutical company and we extensively use Tableau for reporting purposes. With Tableau the data connections to different software are so seamless that it makes our jobs as consultants to visualize anything using Tableau. Hence, I recommend all the companies to use Tableau for reporting needs.
Tableau Desktop experience
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows to connect with multiple databases and transform your data into visualizations. It gives insights about the data to the user.
Data can be viewed in the form of multiple charts as per the requirement. It is a strong data analytics and exploration tool which gives the user a deep dive into the important aspects of data.
Tableau features stories and dashboards which gives clear understanding of what the user wants to present its audience.

When working on multiple sheets the applications responses very slow.
Server connections drops which crashes the whole application.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analytics where decisions needs to be made on the basis of data an organization has, Tableau works great. It gives clear picture which is understandable to the audience. When we map and transform the bulk data into charts, specifics areas where focus needs to be made are highlighted.
Business analytics tool

Has the functionality to be able to cut data in a variety of ways and can show them in charts, graphs or tables

Is not super intuitive to use. Takes awhile to understand the structure
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy to use analytical tool
What do you like best about the product?
The presentation and to ease of working around with various dashboards and results in tableau fascinate me. The data presented can be far more impactful than a ton of raw data
What do you dislike about the product?
The saving method where you cannot save something privately and causes you to share a bunch of info that you would not have if it were for a local file saving
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sense of a bunch of data and observing patterns and hence predicting various outcomes based on that
Great Software for Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The seamless connectivity to many data sources like SQL, Excel etc. and wide variety of data visualization templates make it a very useful toll for data analysis and presentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes a little clunky, not as versatile as writing code directly in R or python using the packages there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization, Presentation, Data Exploration and Analysis
Fantastic way to visualize your data
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is easy to use and provides fantastic insight into your data. I particularly enjoy the ability to join data from various data sources (blending) - this is really valuable when you don't have a central data warehouse to pull data from but want to have consolidated reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product has a premium price tag which makes it difficult to sell internally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting on multiple sources of information in a graphical format.
