Great tool for data dashboard creation and management
What do you like best about the product?
the options for presenting data visually that make it quite attractive
What do you dislike about the product?
How complex it can become to set up a new dashboard, due to the way the data is pulled and the way the data is used
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizes all the data from my work area and allows us to have clear, real-time department metrics.
Building hyper extracts and creating visuals have been streamlined
What is our primary use case?
I use Tableau for analytics development for different clients. It doesn't serve a specific use case for me as each customer has their own analytics development. I develop and provide analytics for various clients.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Tableau include building hyper extracts and creating visuals. These functionalities are very useful, especially the ability to create visuals without much pre-work, which is a great advantage. Building hyper extracts and visualization capabilities make Tableau a robust tool for data analysis.
What needs improvement?
Tableau's data blending feature could use some improvement. Previously, I used other tools, such as Alteryx, for data blending because Tableau had limitations. Although the hyper extract and data modeling capabilities have slightly improved this feature, there is still room for enhancement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Tableau for around six to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Tableau is pretty stable, and I have not found any problems in terms of performance.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is fully scalable and performs well even with large datasets, provided there is proper supporting hardware.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support has been very responsive. Even if there are any issues with Tableau Server, writing a ticket results in a prompt response.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Tableau installation is easy, both for server and desktop versions. One person is enough to manage the installation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing for Tableau is slightly higher, which is why I generally suggest Power BI as a much cheaper alternative.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have worked with QuickSight, Tableau, and Power BI.
What other advice do I have?
I rate my overall experience with Tableau an eight out of ten. In terms of suggestions, I feel that Tableau needs to improve its AI capabilities. In comparison, Power BI offers features like Copilot and AI-enabled visuals, which Tableau currently lacks. Enhancing AI features would be beneficial. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Informative event
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a great tool for showcasing data in a multitude of different ways. Makes it easier for end users to understand complicated data sets.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some items can be repetitive such as having to manually edit each filter as opposed to being able to select all filters to make them drop down menus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau is helping our business to help make better predictions regarding how many customers are company can expect to board in the future, as well as help track data on existing customers.

TC 25 Review
What do you like best about the product?
I love the creative aspect to tableau. It’s wonderful to have a creative outlet in a data growing world
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not take into account the day to day average user.
- Minimal server display instead of spelling out buttons (icon vs text)
- no download to csv yet!
- no subscription with csv
- no “reset button” the developer can embed into the dash so the user doesn’t have to search for the icon on server
I have to spend additional time making my dashboards more accessible so that everyone is capable of usage

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is the best way I know of to visualize data insights. It’s easy to use and you can do just about anything with it.

Salesforce owns Tableau, so everything is a sales pitch. They focus more on “new” AI capabilities than just making it more user friendly.
