Great way to visualize your data.
What do you like best about the product?
Out of the box Tableau Desktop can produce visuals that give valuable insights to your data that would otherwise not be obvious from just looking at the raw data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is a little intimidating at first, and may not be instantly intuitive to a new user. The pricing model is a little high, especially for a smaller operation. You'll also feel a little nickel-and-dimed, For instance, you can purchase a Creator license, but if you want to share your dashboards on Tableau Online, you'll have to purchase Viewer or Explorer licenses. I also don't like that the minimum number of Viewer licenses you can purchase is 100, which is WAY overkill for an organization our size. It ended up being cheaper to buy the minimum 5-seat Explorer license instead. Would suggest offering packages for smaller organizations. Also the Sales team could be a bit more responsive. It took about 3 weeks to straighten out an issue we had with the license I purchased being put on the wrong account, and setting up invoicing terms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We recently added a bobtail driver and were looking to rezone our deliveries. Being able to plot all delivery points on a map and color-code the dots by driver helped us to visualize where they were all delivering and where it made sense to make changes. It also uncovered data anomalies (like a billing address mistakenly entered as a delivery address) that we wouldn't have necessarily caught without the obvious outlier on the map visualization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Where their online support leaves off, the user community picks up pretty well. I haven't had an issue or a how-to I couldn't solve pretty quick with some Googling. Also, take some time and watch the videos and sign up for the live training webinars. The live webinars, especially are helpful because you'll see exactly how to use the software to solve an actual problem.
Great analytics platform
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is great for analyzing and creating various types of charts. It is easy to use and helpful when extracting takeaways from large data. It is easy to set up different charts, views and any types of analysis needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface does not seem the most 'updated' and 'pretty' from an aesthetics standpoint, but this is fine as the point of tableau is to organize and showcase data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using this as a one stop shop for data needs- we integrate this with multiple platforms like DCM and GA to update data in real time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need any types of charts- Tableau has a way to get it created.
Tableau: A+ BI platform For Everything
What do you like best about the product?
As any other famous BI tools in the market, Tableau has easy to use user-friendly platform. There are a few things I really like when I using tableau: 1. Tableau has a lot of connection and plugins (almost all database connections) 2. nice variety of widgets that create stunning dashboards and reports. It is really easy to avoid clutters in Tableau. 3. Easily to data modeling (like extracting, etc), another cool feature is you can do the double joining. I personally some of the BI tools do not have this, and it very important. 4. last it can be used for complex statistical analysis for instance custom calculations. Overall, this is a really nice tool that helps you to create great dashboard and reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Tableau has a very user-friendly platform you will definitely need some prior knowledge. What I mean is it will be quite frustrating for beginners. Another issue that I ran into sometimes when you getting large data sets it will take a little bit of time to load. These issues depend on lots of other issues beyond Tableau but will take time to build reports when this happens. Beggest this I don't like is Tableau can be very expensive. We are a small retails focus company and compare to other tools this expensive. Especially when you buy a license for desktop and cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Tableau 3 main thing: reporting, dashboard, and statistical analysis. We have used it to create inventory tracking and purchasing, payroll, marketing, and promotion, etc. It really helpful is to keep employees on track and monitor them using the dashboard.
