Learn a New Skill
What do you like best about the product?
I recently used this product to plot the hometowns of the Science and Math majors within our department. It was simple to use and allowed me to easily import data and edit the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve to the software. It took me a little time to understand how to use but the videos were very helpful and walked me through each step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us understand the demographics of students we serve and what areas are must successful for recruiting within our departments. It has taken a lot of legwork out of this data study for me and really pieced it together in an easily digestible format.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend some time watching the videos and researching how to use the product on the internet. It is important to have sound data and make sure there are no typos before uploading it to the software.

Tableau let's you visualise you data in a matter of minutes
What do you like best about the product?
The data visualization power of tableau is still unmatched by any other vendor in the market. The ease of generating and publishing dashboards along with the ability to auto refresh data makes working on data simple and fun !
What do you dislike about the product?
The nitty gritty when it comes to table wise calculations and conditional calculations can be a bit tedious
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding product performance
Beautiful, user-friendly, expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The Tableau interface is user-friendly (with helpful online training as well) and can make beautiful and flexible displays. Also valuable is its feature to build the shell of the dashboard and then update it month over month (for my use) with the new month's data/additional data as you collect it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau Desktop is a great tool, but very expensive, and the free Tableau reader option seemed to cause a lot of problems for clients using the dashboards made in Desktop. As I used it, it seemed like it would only be helpful if the dashboards were static or if the clients could open them in Tableau Desktop
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monthly metric reporting -- this is much faster because the shell of the report is built and tweaked as necessary, but all I have to do is load in the new data and refresh. Saves the man hours of reproducing the report (tediously) in Excel, etc. every month.
Top Dashboarding Tool
What do you like best about the product?
There's a a reason why Tableau is the dashboarding indudstry standard. It's easy to use, powerful, and pretty customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau does get bogged down when trying to display a lot of data in a report table (but it can handle being linked to a table with >1 billion rows). The process to combining data sources into one dashboard could be improved - menus and tools are confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great option to have companywide sources of truth for data and analytics.
Great for A/B tests
What do you like best about the product?
As a marketer, we conduct a lot of tests and it is important for us to carefully measure and track the progress and be able to drill down
What do you dislike about the product?
I need to rely on our data/analytics team for reports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
much better insight and decision making
User Friendly BI Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that Tableau can do schedule data refresh, share and subscribe a view/ dashboard, comment in the view. The most important thing, can do the data drill down.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that Tableau distrubute every quarterly a minor version, and almost every year a major version that makes user hard to follow all the functions on the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've created several dashboards which reflect the major KPI of company which allow the management borad can reach the genral view to monitoring the company's situation by having a simple look in dashboards.
Also a customer protal in Tableau have been created to link the published dashboards on Tableau server to give the users a single path to get all the different types of information.

Great self service BI tool ... should only get better with age
What do you like best about the product?
For an Enterprise level BI tool, it's fantastic somewhat "out of the box." It has a significant number of data connectors, as well as visualizations. From a user-experience, it's very friendly. The dashboards are great + easy to access. It's a tool that will allow you to gain quick insights from while a more sophisticated team or understanding will allow you to unlock even more potential.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like I mentioned in the pros section, it's a great "out of the box" tool. But if you need to master your data/BI - and you aren't an expert, or don't have time for extensive training, this tool may not be for you. It's robust - and while that's not inherently a bad thing, it may be more than you need depending on your experience or resources. Be prepared for a steeper learning curve if you want to be a real power-user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Plain and simple - it's a BI tool that captures data and creates visualizations for my key data sources. The benefits have been great. The dashboards allow my team (demand gen) to easily review key KPIs on an as-needed basis to determine what's happening and where pivots/optimizations need to be made.
Healthcare analysis using tableau
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease to connect tableau to any data source. I like the visuals i can produce using different functions in tableau. It is fast and user friendly. Also, there are a lot of communities for help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like everything about tableau but like nothing is perfect, i would say there should be more online resources related to healthcare analytics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently validating data in my organization related to reducing pre admission time. I am also involved in preparing dashboards for various business object reports.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend tableau to anybody interested in solving business problems.
