Tableau has made reporting easy and all in one unified location
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the program allows our team to pull in data from multiple databases and add manual fields that provide a custom view on reporting. It's features for graphs and data tables make it easy to plug reports directly into presentations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the filters or limitations are not as explicit as needed. It's also tough to understand what data is being pulled in if you are not the one who created the table.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to capture media spend for our advertiser clients across 3 separate SSP Exchanges. The challenge this presents is different reporting databases and naming conventions. With Tableau we have successfully combined reports making it easier to see the full picture making the sale to an advertiser easier.

A powerfull and complex tool
What do you like best about the product?
The visuals are excellent. Very crisp, clean, and modern. Once the report is built, I like that it can be imbedded to your website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Building the report is often very time consuming and frustrating. When connecting to a data warehouse the dates can't be edited using a filter like when connecting to other data sources. Also, there are ways of creating custom color templates, but this requires some HTML coding. Instead of just saving a color palette.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating reports that are scalable for many different users that come from many different technical backgrounds. We have been able to create custom reports that have modern visuals that are user friendly and easy to perceive action along with creating reports that the objects adjust easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it easier for first time users to connect to data and build their 1st report. It is far above other software out there, but for the price I think the learning curve may scare a lot of people. It would be nice to have a quick report feature that allows you to build common reports similar to those in excel without having to know in-depth know of Tableau. I believe that is what gets people hooked and wanting to know more. Also, the performance on rather large data sets can often take a while to load hindering people from using it the way it is intended.
Love it!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to link data sources. So helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not immediately user friendly but given how complex everything is, that's completely understandable. Just takes some time!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been difficult as I work for a small company and they chose to first apply it to a small client so there was very little to be done initially. I anticipate I'll be able to much more easily visualize our client's utilization in the near future.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out the trial thoroughly! It's great fun!
Tableau for Measuring Account Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Easy access to all live accounts, in order to quickly assess their performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Almost always inaccurate, when it comes to better understanding compensation data each quarter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to give sales reps easy access to data - their event organizer's data (how many tickets have sold?) and their compensation data (how much GTF per month?)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the effect that VPN access requirements have on remote employees
