Great and effective software
What do you like best about the product?
The comprehensiveness of the AI software when it comes to customer relations. The advanced technology allows us to be able to better predict the actions of our customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest con is that it is expensive. Thus with higher costs I would not recommend it for a smaller business unless you have large revenue/profit margins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves a lot of time because we now upload data directly into the system and whatever data we want to extract or records we want to analyze can be easily viewed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It can even be used on mobile devices! However just be aware that not all features are supported on phones yet as it is a relatively new software, but it should be soon.
Fantastic visualization software
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has brought my department and our website into the 21st century. Making interactive dashboards and graphs has made a huge difference to the quality of our website and quality of our internal documents and presentations. Tableau does take some time to learn, but the capabilities of this program go way above and beyond anything else I have ever used. If there is a function you would like to do that is not supported with the point-and-click features of the program, you can write your own script, which is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is expensive, and the vendors will definitely continue to try to push more paid products, such as Tableau server. If you are able to properly mask identifiers out from your data, Tableau Desktop + Tableau Public are great. It does have a bit of a learning curve, but they offer plenty of support tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Tableau for online dashboards. Using interactive features, we are able to cut down on a lot of employee work time because folks who need data from us can now go to the website and filter on the dashboards without ever needing to have access to the individual-level data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to train on it initially. It will make the process so much easier. The time spent will pay off!
Tableau Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has an easy to use interface making it simple to learn how to use the program and how to learn new things within the program.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the product can be oversimplified. The automated graphs/charts may not be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are analyzing surveys responses through this tool. This program allows us to easily see what feedback is from customers.
Easily customizable and user friendly

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting and tracking metrics
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure server space is accounted for and data is maintained
Slightly overwhelming to use, but robust and extremely powerful
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed creating dashboards to show some data to coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some data I imported from Excel needed to be groomed in a way for Tableau to best understand it. Coming in with pivot tables in mind did not make things easy at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s been great to be able to visualize data in a way that makes it easy to switch between different views and ways to view data. This is something that isn’t as intuitive in Excel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with it, watch the training videos on Tableau.com, and take an in-person training if you’re able to. It’ll allow you to use Tableau to its full potential.
Brillant Visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau organizes data in a real time beautiful dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is not easily set up. It requires configuration and Salesforce knowledge on the front end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We will be giving our sales team visibility into their conversion rates.
Beautiful Data Visualization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how nice the data visualization looks. Excellent for presentation and easily understood.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that some tasks can be a little complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving how to visualize my data. I realized the benefit of making a picture from your data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better for graphing than Excel.
Powerful but not flawless
What do you like best about the product?
The table calculation is really powerful and convenient. Calculated Field and Parameters are also very useful. This is much better than Google Dashboard. With these features, SQL queries can be simplified and let Tableau do the rest of the job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once the tab name is changed and uploaded to the server, the previous link will break. Compared to excel, it lacks the flexibility to make pretty front. When I search for specific functionality usages, the tableau community or help page sometimes show very old pages and those pages never get updated.
When putting multiple sheets in dashboard, the shape or the length of the container won't adjust according to the the length of the data rows returned.
When switch data source in one sheet, all other sheets that use same data source will also be changed.
The integration with R is not that powerful. A lot of useful visualization or analysis functions in R are not support in Tableau.
The subscription feature can be improved so that users will not get report if anomaly is detected in the data.
The integration with presto is not good. It works fine in desktop but when the report is uploaded to server there will sometimes be an error message and users can't open the report on server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau Desktop can help to provide Customized Business Report. It can also help to visualize the data without using R or python. Very convenient tool to explore the data at early stage of analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Report can be very customized whether for daily reporting or for adhoc analysis.
It's really become the industry standard for distributing reports
What do you like best about the product?
Customizable
Easy to use interface

Large dashboards are still slow to display
The relationship between desktop and server is still iffy
The relationship between desktop and server is still iffy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The creation and distribution of dashboards
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The learning curve is low. Still needs some work though.
Great data visualization features but expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The map features are easy to use and make nice visuals. There are many different presentation options. A lot of things are easy with drag and drop functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Formatting font, color, and size is not intuitive. It can be hard to navigate between different data sources. I wish that you could delete records and reorder data with custom SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Tableau to display information that gets updated daily in SQL Server Management Studio. Tableau allows me to customize my presentations better than pivot tables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau can be used with little SQL knowledge but is more powerful with calculated fields using SQL.
