Exceptional app for data visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I learned about this app in my university, and was amazed by its capabilities. Tableau is the most user friendly yet powerful app for visualizing data and getting meaningful insights out of it. Its also a great tool for working on multiple dataset simultaneously and drawing correlations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The app is perfect in all aspects with only one drawback, i.e. data cleaning in somewhat difficult due to limited features. If you have been using excel to clean the data, then you would see the shortcomings in tableau.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analysis and visualization for large business related datasets.
Data-Viz Is the Biz
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has incredible data visualization tools and the ability to parse massive datasets. I can easily build dashboards and stories that can be shared with executives and other high-level stakeholders. Furthermore, Tableau is great for producing team dashboards that can be used for tactical execution on projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau has the annoying feature that saved database connections must be re-authenticated every time you open the program. This makes using data "lakes" very difficult. Another thing that frustrates me about Tableau sometimes is that dashboards are not as easily shared without a Tableau server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While I use other products for data cleansing and prep, Tableau allows me to easily and quickly create appealing AND informative data visualizations. It's creative stock of different chart formats and spatial tools allows you to show data almost any way, making it easy to adapt visualizations to differing needs and tastes of executives.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau is great for creating blended dashboards from multiple databases. If you are considering using Tableau, keep in mind that you will want to ensure you have another data-preparation product. Even so, I highly recommend Tableau simply for its creative visualizations and the ease with which I can take my datasets and produce dashboards for tactical executions as well as high level executive information.
Great Software for Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
The seamless connectivity to many data sources like SQL, Excel etc. and wide variety of data visualization templates make it a very useful toll for data analysis and presentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes a little clunky, not as versatile as writing code directly in R or python using the packages there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization, Presentation, Data Exploration and Analysis
Fantastic way to visualize your data
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is easy to use and provides fantastic insight into your data. I particularly enjoy the ability to join data from various data sources (blending) - this is really valuable when you don't have a central data warehouse to pull data from but want to have consolidated reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product has a premium price tag which makes it difficult to sell internally.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting on multiple sources of information in a graphical format.
Being able to answer business problems effectively with evidence in the data - in a meaningful visual way

Einstein integration
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of dynamic integration across various device platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding process has a curve to it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
While the problems have been limited, expanding my ecommerce options has been easy withsalesforce's, allowing me to expand my reach
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Expand your options with ease
Best Data Visualization Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Love the number of sources we can use to connect to Tableau. No prior development knowledge is needed to start and they also have an awesome community.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lags few times on my work laptop probably due to low RAM but works flawlessly on my personal laptop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualize digital marketing campaign performance data. We have setup automated weekly and quarterly dashboard to view overall marketing effort.
Tableau is like Excel on Steroids (without the negative side effects)
What do you like best about the product?
I'm able to take huge amounts of data and quickly manipulate them to find trends and outliers/issues. In theory, you can do this in Excel with pivot tables and what not. But, it's so much more efficient in Tableau, and so much more robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is most effective, in my opinion, if you have some coding background so you can create more complex calculations and use the advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've identified the root cause of certain KPI shifts on our website by drilling into various dimensions and combinations of dimensions (using ad hoc groupings).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free 14-day trial. You can easily connect directly to an Excel spreadsheet to test Tableau. I'm a former programmer and data architect, which I think aids in my ability to use the tool. But, even without a strong technical background, I think the Tableau training videos can get anyone up and running pretty quickly.
Great tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that all your data is right there for you to view. It shows you things like how much sales or productivity have dropped and why. There is a dashboard where you can explore data and assign tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has came a long way since it first came out for use. It still doesn't do everything that other crm's do, some people integrate it with other software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for customer information. Setup to a long time, but once ball was rolling it helps tremendously!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be patient, it can be overwhelming at first, especially if you do not deal with data.
Tableau review
What do you like best about the product?
Great entry level visualization, customer-focused user interface, full intergration with major database softwares and servers, fast speed
What do you dislike about the product?
No coding capabilities, calculated field queries are different from excel, can’t do complex visualization
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization
Big improvement from the last platform
What do you like best about the product?
The user friendliness is awesome. Takes a lot of my previous responsibilities and busy work away.
What do you dislike about the product?
System bugs out about 3 times a week. Some features are only available on the desktop or mobile version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Production tracking, and improving sales results of trainees. So the biggest one I use is presentation to close analytics. When someone's production goes down, I point out the gaps in Salesforce that we can work on together.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the app version as user friendly as the website
