Tableau New User
What do you like best about the product?
It's usability - as a beginner it's really helpful to have simple drag and drop capabilities. It also helps us identify what we want to look at, it's acting as a data recorder, identifier and tool to render our data in different ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's be great it if was more compatible with exporting into a PDF, I know this takes away from it's clicking options to carve out more data, but it's hard to show a room without a projector. A lot of times we're on the go and only have a computer to help us showcase our data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying our portfolio trends so we can make better informed decision about how to give grant money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk with your account manager when you need help trouble shooting. And don't forget to use the demos on demand, and visit the gallery to see what companies like yours are using.
Tableau is amazing
What do you like best about the product?
I love the usability of Tableau. You do not need to be a data scientist or have familiarity with databases to use tableau. For medium level Excel users - Tableau makes your data into a glorified pivot table, with added depth, insights and way more usability and functionality than Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm still fairly new to Tableau - so I need to dig a bit deeper - but sharing datasets is currently a bit confusing and looks like it requires a separate subscription for Tableau Server, which doesn't make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am easily able to analyze prospects affiliate programs, paid adwords effectiveness, as well as geographical trends sales data trends for our B2B clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a business intelligence / insights solutions. Tableau is a great place to start. Their training sample workbooks will get you up and going in no time and the usability and functionality is way better than fumbling around with Excel spreadsheets.

On a map i cannot show multiple names if they are in same zipcode. Sometime i face issues with formatting. The font size in a tree map does not adjust with the box size.

Management dashboards, forecasting, showing pipelines & past performances. Helps us get a clear picture & we can slice & dice easily by regions.

Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
The drag and drop feature of creating charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I want to add a table from the same database I have been using all along, I have to re-login every time to the database, even with single sign on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are more aware of trends with regards to server and storage needs. We can anticipate the need for more storage which shortens the time to complete a request for storage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to set up, easy to use. The online videos make learning a snap.
Tableau is the greatest in data visualization.
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has great diversity in how we are able to represent some of our most complex data quandaries.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish tableau had more stat-savvy things. If we could marry the analysis of SPSS with the visualization options of Tableau I would be a happy data nerd.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need ways to take all of the data we have lingering and represent for management. We also need it to be dynamic. Nobody likes running reports (or hiring people to do it!), so the dashboard concept is invaluable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's very user friendly, but remember that it's not a stats software. It will not run regressions or give you meaning; it will only help you see patterns in the data. Think of it as a savvy excel.
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to get started. The ability to drill down on components.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations on table formats, like having dynamic column names. Some things are more complicated than they should be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating reports. It saves a lot of time versus having to create excel reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It gets complicated when you have to use a lot of excel-like tables, It is fantastic with graphics like bar/line charts.
Better with every update
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Tableau can integrate with so many different platforms/APIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to white label Tableau is a bit difficult and sometimes looks sloppy. I wish there was a template of sorts to customize the worksheets instead of just inserting an image and changing the background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use tableau for website KPI performance. Anywhere from e-commerce to visits to keyword performance.
