Great for information sharing
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau Server is a great tool for information sharing as multiple users can access published workbooks in a controlled environment. I find the dashboards to be particularly useful for visualizing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it a bit difficult for reporting purposes as the dashboard containers aren't able to adjust to fit nicely on a page for printing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a way to easier see quarterly movements in multiple dimensions and this created a great framework to do so.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that Tableau isn't backwards compatible. As a user publishing workbooks from Tableau Desktop to Server, this is important that the versions are in sync.

I love that I am able to track key metrics for my employees using Tableau's easy-to-use reporting framework.

Given the high level of data we have in my company, it can take some time to refresh the reports. I also know we have issues syncing our data with Mitel at an 'on-demand' basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Looking at key performance metrics for our staff has been tough. With Tableau, we can quantify this data in ways that we would never have thought of. This is especially great for creating effective presentation graphics as the visuals are quite aesthetic.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big data visualizations. We have been able to offer our members so much more now that we use tableau. Visualizations and data manipulation is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes. Plus the data is all right there if a member wants to see a certain cut.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Easy-to-learn, easy-to-use data visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Tableau, I feel, is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps any novice user to learn the tool and start using it very quickly. Filters and parameters provide a nice touch of interactivity to visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of templates for commonly-used visualizations such as donuts, radars and speedometers which makes the user resort to workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a management consultant and I've worked predominantly with manufacturing companies. I've used Tableau to create visualizations that enabled my clients to reduce procurement costs, monitor building HVAC systems, identify bottlenecks in shop floor operations etc. In the procurement scenario, we found that the client would be able to save $2.00 on each order of a specific part if they procured it from a different supplier. In another situation, we were able to identify process bottlenecks, the elimination of which would enable the client to produce 30 more products per month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Will recommend it over Microsoft Power BI.
great data visualizations
What do you like best about the product?
The user can easily create graphs and create calculated fields by just dragging and dropping the fields required.
The dashboards are very easy to create and a user does not have to have specific knowledge of any technology to understand Tableau.
