What do you like best about the product?
Views are extremely adaptable with a few clicks of the mouse. Ability to upload thousands of data points and organize efficiently and optimally.

Relies on a connection to server, so upload speeds can be slow while system connects to server to 'feed in' the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing scores of data, presenting it graphically, geographic trends, demographic trends etc. with highly scalable views and user friendly desktop presentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn all the tricks - there are a lot of neat ones! Example: built in zip-code recognition for geographic presentation.

The downside of Tableau is it is expensive, so there are many other growing choices for other options from Microsoft or other small vendors.

What do you like best about the product?
It's usability - as a beginner it's really helpful to have simple drag and drop capabilities. It also helps us identify what we want to look at, it's acting as a data recorder, identifier and tool to render our data in different ways.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's be great it if was more compatible with exporting into a PDF, I know this takes away from it's clicking options to carve out more data, but it's hard to show a room without a projector. A lot of times we're on the go and only have a computer to help us showcase our data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying our portfolio trends so we can make better informed decision about how to give grant money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk with your account manager when you need help trouble shooting. And don't forget to use the demos on demand, and visit the gallery to see what companies like yours are using.

Investment challenges for smaller units

  • January 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Visually, it appears to have lots of bells and whistles, which it does. It's a very engaged way to examine the relationships between data, which is crucial for examining college student success. The ability to select and deselect options to slice and dice the data puts quite a bit of power at your fingertips.
What do you dislike about the product?
After experiencing a demo, my staff and I were certainly enamored, but soon afterwards we realized that the learning curve and time needed to get data established into the product would require a greater amount of human resources than we bargained for. For a small assessment unit like mine, it would require an unreasonable amount of time to start using the product. The price was also a big deterrent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We continuously seek to engage data in a more sophisticated manner. It's also critical for us to have data housed and accessible to a core working group and/or key stakeholders that helps them answer some of their own questions, therefore reserving our talents for deeper dive analyses as needed. The visual and dynamic utility of the tool is also desirable based on our organizational needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As long as you have the resources (people power) required to initiate the start-up process and have someone that can be engaged with the tool in an ongoing manner, then this tool could certainly meet one's organizational needs.
