Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of information tableau can hold. It houses everything from availability of products to status of accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that tableau runs so slow! The loading time is extremely slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem I am solving is targeting accounts that are missing information, low on information or not utilizing their account to the fullest. The benefit is being able to catch these things before they turn into an issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can use it, use it! It holds a lot of information all in one place.
Great BI tool for the novice data scientist, but lacks functionality for advanced users
What do you like best about the product?
For those coming from Excel spreadsheets and workbooks, this is a great tool that's very friendly and easy to use. You are easily able to connect to data from many sources and easily visualize and aggregate information.
The server works very well with Desktop and with features like alerts, email subscriptions, and auto refreshes, this is far superior to the industry gold standard Crystal Reports.

What do you dislike about the product?
For advanced users Tableau is very limited. It is very limited on count distinct and usually requires a "hack" to get most things working. As an example, combining sums and count distinct in a single sheet is not easy, especially when dealing with calculated grand totals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Key reporting on financial and operational data to solve day to day problems.
Solid visualizations
What do you like best about the product?
Really great visualizations that can be easily understood by everyone in the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be clunky to use on the backend, but with some training its easier to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualizations!! We share them out with the whole company every Monday vs just looking at Excel spreadsheets.
Tableau Reporting SLOW
What do you like best about the product?
A lot of the reporting is nice to have but I have used better reporting systems in the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes FOREVER to pull a report in Tableau and drives everyone on my team crazy!!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting is a big part of what we do so we need to be able to pull it from somewhere.
My Tableau Review
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Tableau is the ability to clearly decipher sales out information. It also allows you to break the sales down into granular categories.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software takes up a lot of space on your computer and sometimes is slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows you to see gaps in your customers buying patterns and allows you to find growth opportunities.
Powerful BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
A large collection of data connectors and visualizations. Intuitive design, power processing & a large Tableau Community
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires Extensive Training for New Reports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation, Enhanced Visualizations of existing reports & Easy data discovery tool
Powerful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop report build; custom calculations
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of a learning curve for formatting. I'm not sure if this is truly a dislike on the product or a matter of manipulating my fields to show value in the visualization. The same data points in different periods don't always highlight a trend; so I will manipulate towards something actionable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transformed data in to actionable information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have not used the server version as it can get pricey.
Tableau Review
What do you like best about the product?
Types of reporting that it provides in terms of measuring the success of my individual accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow; default views are not optimized, especially when it comes to automated reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring the success of my business through numbers. It helps to be able to project future revenue recognition on specific accounts as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

Great Analytical Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease and ability to pull data fairly quickly, especially while in meetings. About half of my daily and weekly reporting comes out of here.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes load times, typically when using multiple filters, can be really slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows us to put many different reports, charts, and documents in a shared space, with the ability to only let certain people access each area.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you manage large amounts of data and have a need present that data to others, Tableau is definitely the way to go. It, also, makes it easy for you to manipulate the data in an attractive way and allow for anyone to understand what is in front of them.
Tableu Review
What do you like best about the product?
I find tableu the perfect graphic tool as it allows for complex tables/graphs to be created with excel/other analytical data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not an intuitive tool. Even if you play around with it to try to figure out how it works you'll miss multiple tricks/aspects of the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to depict complex analysis in a clear concise table/graph
