What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it to customer re-targeting for Xfinitiy Mobile, a comcast company.
Since we get data from Salesforce, A big data lake and flat files. The reporting is seamless and the turnaround is quick!
Tableau offers a variety of features to build interactive maps, connects to an array of online APIs(like twitter) to pull data. Reporting is good both in live connections as well as data extracts which can be done at a desired cadence.

Talk to a rep and ask for a trial version. It is a great tool, but its not for everyone.
Easy to turn lots of data into distilled insight

Tableau's capability to connect to, join, and detect relationship between many different types of data sources helps tremendously when trying to derive business intelligence from complex and varied business processes.

Tableau can have a steep learning curve for those approaching the tool for the first time, but the time spent mastering the basics will pay dividends.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We conducted a business process optimization review using analysis from Tableau. Using the software, we were able to bring in data from many varied sources that our process touched, and connect them in the software according to their real relationships in the process. We were able to discover bottlenecks and deficiencies in the process that we had not seen or sized before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool is well worth it if you have business intelligence / data visualization needs. Don't be overwhelmed by the learning curve. For guides, don't forget to Google your problem, and watch YouTube tutorials on using Tableau.

Good product
What do you like best about the product?
If your company is heavily invested in Salesforce and it's your go-to system record and you aren't using Wave - you need to seriously consider it. It has a learning curve, but not unlike any other BI tool. It has dashboards that come out of the box that can be useful for some but otherwise is extremely customizable. They are continually investing on the platform and providing improvements, still some to be made.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you aren't used to BI tools and don't have an expert in house, the terminology can be difficult to understand at first (ie: building lenses - or datasets) and it may take some time to grasp. It can also be expensive, but in our case it has more than provided value for our team to help improve decision making abilities. My one biggest fault with SFDC is that any kind of real time support service is an add-on, so you'll need to be patient if you require help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Amazing visual experience for your data. Users find it so much easier to use and view data as well, which allow them to drive their performance in the right directions. The visualization of data not just from salesforce but also from outside systems is a huge plus as well, as now we can see all of our data in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More functionalities needs to be added.We all know it is improving but when compared to other BI tools like Tableau, some features are lagged.
User friendly and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The product is user friendly and allows for quick and easy data visualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tools are hard to discover/ require a lot of practice to be familiar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making data visualization easier and more accessible to newer staff. The benefits are that it's easy to grasp and with little practice can be quickly grasped.
A very powerful tool
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility for a wide range of reporting needs. Before Tableau we were primarily using Excel for our quarterly metrics, but Tableau is a much more efficient solution since it saves dashboads layouts
What do you dislike about the product?
It's tricky to track trending data (i.e. annualizing turnover) without a pretty advanced skillset/experience with the product (especially trying to use level of detail expressions).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Tableau for our quarterly and annual HR metrics. We've also found it to be a helpful internal tool to monitor pay equity and other metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the free trainings and determine ahead of time if it's options are right for your metrics/how much data manipulation you will need to do to make your data Tableau-friendly.
