Tableau Server: Easy to Get Started, and Maintain
What do you like best about the product?
It took only minutes to set up. Soon thereafter we were publishing models for users to utilize.
It takes little to manage Tableau Server on an ongoing basis.

What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau Server does not offer any solution for version control on its published models.
I also found it difficult at times to discover the root causes of failed scheduled tasks.
It would be nice to have some more optimization tools in order to get the most out of the models being offered and the resources required to refresh the data on an ongoing basis,
Pricing to expose Tableau models on websites is expensive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have realized countless business problems over many knowledge areas.
Most importantly, we have moved from a model of printing/emailing reports to Branch Managers on a daily basis, most of which was ignored, or far too much time was required of them to analyse to one that allows them to get information on demand, that is drillable and flexible enough to allow for ad-hoc discovery.
This has allowed us to be more agile.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Software was very supportive of our efforts to deploy Tableau Server. They offered copious amounts of help, and made resources available to us when required. We are not a big account for them, but were not treated as an afterthought.
We would recommend to start small. It is fast to start, and with little prototyping the results will quickly justifying further investment.

Ease of use needs some work though.

Easy-to-learn, easy-to-use data visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Tableau, I feel, is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps any novice user to learn the tool and start using it very quickly. Filters and parameters provide a nice touch of interactivity to visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of templates for commonly-used visualizations such as donuts, radars and speedometers which makes the user resort to workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a management consultant and I've worked predominantly with manufacturing companies. I've used Tableau to create visualizations that enabled my clients to reduce procurement costs, monitor building HVAC systems, identify bottlenecks in shop floor operations etc. In the procurement scenario, we found that the client would be able to save $2.00 on each order of a specific part if they procured it from a different supplier. In another situation, we were able to identify process bottlenecks, the elimination of which would enable the client to produce 30 more products per month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Will recommend it over Microsoft Power BI.
