Great Reporting Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of the reporing views, tables and charts. Tableau turns out very professional looking reports that are useful and easy for the client to view.

I am not well versed in programming, so have difficulty sometime determining how to create certain fields that I need to show on my reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Giving clients a clear view of results from various programs including PPC, Organic search and Pay-Per-Call platforms. One huge benefit is being able to easily go back in history to pull and compare past performance. Highlight trends over time and across various media.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that everyone using Tableau go through an in-person training session to be bale to fully understand everyting that Tableau can do with your data. It's only a good as the data that is inputting, so you need to make sure everything you might possibly need now of in the future is included in the data source.
Tableau shaved hours off manual reporting in Excel
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is very easy to pick up. The ability to export reports and create trend lines aided me in tracking key metrics for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with all data crunching suites, the tool works best when the data is solid. For some of my reports, the data set was massive and the reports weren't as current as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau helped me analyze data and trends swiftly. It shaved off hours of time previously spent creating manual reports in Excel. Being able to shift reports on the fly and the drag-and-drop interface was a huge gain for creating and tweaking reports.
Short-term user for 6 months
What do you like best about the product?
the visualization of the data; the ability to drill down into details; the user interface is fantastic
What do you dislike about the product?
while it does allow me to drill down into details - the details are not what I was used to - usually in our datasets, we can link on a cell and more details would open up on another tab - we lost that ability in Tableau
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
our data management team was overwhelmed with data requests - Tableau allowed us to provide real-time data to internal stakeholder on demand
Tableau makes pulling live data reports easy
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Tableau because I like the ability to pull live reports very easily and quickly. It is nice to be able to have different templates/files that you can quickly pull specific fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mainly use Tableau to pull live reports and quick and easy ways to quality control our data. The extent to which I have used this application I have been happy with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to quality control our data is HUGE in making sure our information is correct and accurate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a nice way to have different users and have the ability to access live and up to date data that allows you to quality control any bulk upload data or "data entry" information. It is also really easy to pull data from your system so that clients can easily view and quality check the information you have in their system.
Very intuitive and easy to hook up, excellent visuals.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simple connections with multiple data sources and the ability to create joins on seemingly disparate sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the visuals take a lot of extra work to create visually, mostly due to a lack of direct script writing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We did not have any reporting or dashboards outside of Excel spreadsheets, this gave us the ability to have a better visual which automatically updated with our base SQL / Salesforce / Google Analytics data automatically.
Tableau - Great analytics!
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy and intuitive, you can learn it yourself if you have previous training in Excel or other analytics packages. Lots of good training tutorials on the web, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I don't know how to use even 40% of what the software is capable of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business data analytics >> decision making
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at Tableau, but also investigate Wave Analytics, especially if you're using SalesForce.
Lots of data in a managable package
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great way to view population data in a way that is more managable and easy to digest.
What do you dislike about the product?
Through no fault of the software, the data can be overwhelming. In fact, my criticism is that there seem to be too many options and that this program could be simplified and made more user friendly this way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this software to look at data around population health: ED visits, projected and actual costs, ect.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great tool to try out, however, it takes some experimentation and experience to fully benefit from the data.
