Very, Very Informative
What do you like best about the product?
Allows you to create numerous tiles heavily diving into various metrics - that you specify. At least with my company, we had a handful of tableau specialists who would do the dirty work of getting the reports built. Tableau also has some great filtering tools that allows users to drill pretty far down into larger sets of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slightly overwhelming at times - although I think this is dependent on how you design it specifically for each user. Also tends to take a long time to load all information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows you to look at the big picture - while also having the ability to drill down into a specific representative on a specific day. This is providing us with the benefit of having one universal tool for everyone to use to look at data, rather than having to build numerous dashboards and reports for everyone.

Consider how much customization you will need. If you need high customization, Tableau may not be right. If you want standard style reporting with ease of use then Tableau is the right choice
Tableau for teachers
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau offers free licenses to students and faculty. This makes visualizing data easy for students, as well as basic analysis. Really great for undergrad and graduate students who need to make presentations or charts for reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot export large images - are fuzzy in large poster presentations which makes it difficult for me to recommend to students. It would be nice to have a bit more control of the image size/ quality and format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping students recognize the value of data visualization and the impact it has on their work.
Getting students used to utilizing data analytics and visualization software before they need to know it in the workplace.
Getting students used to utilizing data analytics and visualization software before they need to know it in the workplace.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for analysis and visualization as long as you do not need to export high quality images. (that need to be blown up)
Great insight on sales revenue data!

Sometimes the site will freeze and not update on a daily basis
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visual display of revenue, ability to sort by which accounts make the most money
Tableau 9.3 - Visualization for novices and professionals alike.
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows the user to connect to a variety of data sources, including and not limited to CSV files (i.e. Excel sheets), Statistical file (i.e. R, SPSS), Access and server databases/warehouses such as Hadoop, Amazon Aurora and a Tableau Server. For my work with Tableau, virtually every kind data files can be imported and visualized using a very handy selection of built-in charts, graphics, geographical templates and mathematical models (confidence inferences for example). It's easy to drag and drop the dimensions and measures of your data files and Tableau does the hard job of visualization!
What do you dislike about the product?
Depending on your network capacity, server specifications and your local computer configuration, connecting to a server database can produce a significant delay in building your reports. I notice that Tableau tries to initially download files to cache so it would allow you to populate the measurements and dimensions into the report. However, this certainly takes a longer period of time than just working with a file locally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using Tableau to analyze New York City High School graduation rates and how it corresponds to SAT (Standardized Assessment Test) scores. Tableau allows me to realize certain trends and niches through the stories and reports generated by Tableau.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau offers a trial and I would take advantage of it to see if I can do more to visualize my data. It is relatively simple to learn and use due its relatively easy learning curve. The graphical user interface and drop-and-drag allows novice users to create professional-looking reports and charts without a heavy mathematical or statistical background knowledge. Even for professional data scientists, Tableau has enough advanced models and options to generate the reports that reflects what you want to show and tell.
Review
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, multiple sources. Fast acting changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it gets bogged down but certain sources but desktop is better than web.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reconciling between sources, once reporting has been set up it has been easier to retrieve data for common tasks.
Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau allows for easy data visualization regardless of the data type. It has been useful for creating presentations as well as making analysis decisions for work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not appreciate how difficult it is to learn how to use the software. It can be a complicated system to pick up and the tutorials are not always easy to follow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the business problem of presenting data in an understandable way. It makes it possible to conduct analysis with hard data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think you should reach out for additional support and tutorials to truly master this software. As it stands the tutorials are not adequate to make Tableau a useful solution without external training.

The only downsize is probably the cost, particularly for nonprofit organizations.
