Tableau - Great analytics!
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy and intuitive, you can learn it yourself if you have previous training in Excel or other analytics packages. Lots of good training tutorials on the web, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I don't know how to use even 40% of what the software is capable of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business data analytics >> decision making
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at Tableau, but also investigate Wave Analytics, especially if you're using SalesForce.
Lots of data in a managable package
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great way to view population data in a way that is more managable and easy to digest.
What do you dislike about the product?
Through no fault of the software, the data can be overwhelming. In fact, my criticism is that there seem to be too many options and that this program could be simplified and made more user friendly this way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this software to look at data around population health: ED visits, projected and actual costs, ect.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great tool to try out, however, it takes some experimentation and experience to fully benefit from the data.
Helpful software

Dashboards created by my data team used to show sales results & marketing investment
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to interact with the tool with drop downs to show different data
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not the one that uploads the data into the tool. From my perspective, it does what I need it to do
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Show results with dashboards and easy-to-interpret graphs
Visualization on Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Better visualization than most data analysis software
High level of customization to varying levels of granularity on the same sheet or without recreating different visualization for higher or lower levels of granularity. For example, by using filters such as age bins we can visualize how a dependent variable changes with the regressors in different age-groups on the same sheet. We do not need to create different figures for different age groups as in other software.
Managing databases such merging databases, e.g., inner join, outer join, are much easier in Tableau.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have not yet been able to figure out how to add error bars if I have already a column for that data. This is easily accomplished in other software such as SigmaPlot.
Being a comprehensive application, it requires some initial training. It is not something I can start using it right away.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have just been using it for a month or so. We are using it for our academic classroom project and my research project. We are visualizing healthcare data related to prevalence of most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the US over the last few decades and how effective the US healthcare system has been in improving these rates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understanding this application will require some patience and time. But I guess this effort will be well rewarded with continued use. I have the opportunity to use it free for one year on academic license. I am however taking a tutorial on Udemy.com for learning this application. Time spent learning this is worth it.
Great product for data visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to perform data visualization at all levels-beginner or quick analysis to advanced analysis where you control and program your own variables and code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be steep if you don't have access to a lot of resources to get started. Training is pretty much necessary to get value out of this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this product to analyze our business performance and visualize how our contract vehicles are being utilized by vendors and customers. We can answer complex questions from business lines and leadership and help ensure that we are conducting business efficiently and meeting performance metrics over time. This ultimately ensures we are good stewards of tax payer money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to take any available training so you can get the most use out of this product. There are a plethora of resources online through Tableau and from users submitting content via discussion boards and youtube. It is imperative you have clean, high quality data or you will not get much out of this product.
Visual analytics on your laptop
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of load a data source! By far, in my career, locating data has always been trickier than visualizing it - with Tableau 10 and VizSQL, you can rapidly explore, visualize, annotate and tell a story to your senior management so that they can act upon it. No other solution has ever been as effective and swift to do so>
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that Tableau will charge you 20% of your original license to upgrade and carry on support. I can understand upgrade but not support. Support should be endless, this is called Customer Experience. Feels like Customer Ignorance on that scheme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Digital marketing analytics across several platforms, you can connect to them and aggregate Key Performance Indicators on the fly. Tableau does it, they rule!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with Desktop and review Server or Online after 1 year on Desktop+Reader.
Strong for basic dashboarding
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity, ease of use.
Very good for 90% of visual data needs.
Very good for 90% of visual data needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be made much more visually appealing, a bit of an ugly duckling.
Can be a bit slow with large data samples.
Seems a bit too cookie cutter and from a design-standpoint doesn't adapt to the page or filtering seamlessly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for most tasks. If you have huge data sets, complex customized needs or need your dashboards to be beautiful, maybe not the perfect choice.
Great software that is easy to use and easy to connect to data

The easy, drag and drop methods to creating sophisticated reports from your data.

The trending and forecasting modeling is easy to use and to evaluate. It is easy to extract data from the model information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Working with time series data can take a lot of data cleansing before hand. Also, it can be difficult to make data relationship links that work in the direction of your intended use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly and accurately providing interactive reports. We have realized the benefit of being able to create dashboards quickly for our team to view.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Connect to your data live. This helps keep up to date analysis without having to refresh data manually.

Desktop is a great tool, but when looking at Server and other products, economics become challenging or unsustainable.
