Makes telling stories with data easy!
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is great for creating a story using data. It is easy to create modular dashboards and immersive visualizations that allow users to explore what is happening within their organization. Whether it be marketing, finance, or operations data, Tableau allows for tremendous flexibility to detail exactly what is going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data manipulation can sometimes be cumbersome - having a data cleansing tool (Excel, Alteryx, etc.) is recommended to make data ingestion into Tableau a bit easier. Some common formatting techniques can sometimes be difficult to achieve using simple steps and instead become laborious processes. Fortunately, once it is done once, there is typically no need for it to be done again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Constant monitoring of key performance indicators at various levels of granularity are easily monitored with Tableau. Quickly visualizing trends makes optimizations much easier to make and then defend to other stakeholders.

Great for data visualization and reporting dashboards which ladder up to higher-level management.
Good analytics program, but could improve on being more user-friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to choose data elements to put on each axis as well as perform calculations on data elements
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to create charts with the data, not always intuitive, also adjusting the sizes of charts and boxes is very annoying since you cannot just drag the corners, but have to go to the lxw
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualizations for data that we have for clients
Tableau for Education Needs
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has become a valuable tool for managing our district's accountability. We have several issue in the past being able to get this information to our district staff who is needing this information to make important budgetary and staffing decisions. We also use this data to show our areas of need among our students -- what are our district's strengths and weaknesses and how can we improve for next year. These are the important questions that we are constantly asking ourselves in order to get better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau's interface could use some updating to make it more user-friendly. It just feels dated. Our district transferred most of utilities to Google, who are the kings of making software more inviting and user-friendly. It seems very similar to the old Sharepoint system that every business used to use before several companies came along to create a better solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau dashboards have made it easier to keep our district staff updated on important accountability numbers and we are currently working towards using expanding its footprint in our district through budgetary reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly recommend Tableau Server as it has been a huge benefit to our district. It is easy to use and navigate through the portals in order to pull the needed data. We have tried several programs in the past and have been very happy with the results of Tableau Server. We mainly utilize the dashboard feature which is beneficial for quickly running reports and keeping our information up to date.

What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau can be challenging to learn compared to excel and training classes are extremely expensive. Additionally, at times it can be difficult to determine why certain data functions cannot work to be plotted into the graphs when they work on an excel pivot table for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize Tableau for data visualization of quality measures across numerous healthcare clinical initiatives. The system allows us to link our database so that every time we run our analytics and visualization it is automatically utilizing the updated system as opposed to constantly updating the underlying data the system is pulling from.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau has been essential for our team but be sure to include the training classes for anyone who will be using the tool. These are very expensive to purchase outside of the contracted terms.
Strong Analytic Tool

The inability to have more than a few line graphs in a chart is very frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Tableau to analyze my client data for client retention problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are lot of competing products so do a thorough evaluation before paying the high fee for this product. I do like how I was able to pay a one-time fee and no annual support so I don't have any on-going costs. But downside is I don't get automatic updates. In the age of SaaS, it is kind of refreshing to have this product installed on my desktop and easy to use no matter where I am.

Good Tool for Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a great tool for visualizing data. I generally like Tableau and think its a valuable tool to have as an Account Manager. I like how Tableau is improving its UI and the web version is much easier and quicker than the previous tableau download.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use tableau to generate PDFs to generate reports for clients so they can visualize how they utilize the service they've purchased. It's not always consistent from page to page, sometimes too small to read or it's awkwardly scaled. I've had reports blur as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau is providing a solution to the problem of not having an accurate view of the state of your accounts. It provides the data I need to visualize the client's general health as an account, see gaps that I'm looking to close in usage, and improve my understanding solutions I can provide to them as well.
Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I like the endless ways to organize and display data. The program has a wider variety of graphs and charts than Excel, and they fit nicely into presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program is not immediately intuitive to use, and custom fields are programmed differently from Excel. This makes it more difficult for users well versed into Excel to learn to use Tableau. It is also fairly difficult to troubleshoot if you do not achieve the intended result right away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I now have a quick and easy report to use to present to my Sales team. It doesn't take long to update and shows a wide range of data.
