Robust visualization software

  • June 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Powerful data visualization capabilities
What do you dislike about the product?
The moderate learning curve to manipulate data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualizing complex, mullti-variable data sets
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be thoughtful about the number of licenses required, given frequency or infrequency of use of the software (e.g., not all individuals require a license). Also be careful to consider Tableau in context of other data visualization tools that are less expensive but also less sophisticated in terms of the capabilities offered for end users - other tools may provide the required basic functionality for lower cost. Oftentimes, graphs and charts within Microsoft PowerPoint may suffice if advanced data analysis is not required.

Provide training sessions to front-line employees to be able to perform basic functionality for select use cases (e.g., including map-style visualizations by geography). Deliver user guides that walk through commonly performed tasks within the Tableau interface.

The Application Is Very Good But The Constant Updates For Desktop Version Are Annoying

  • June 09, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I knew this service from the academic field and then I was able to transfer it to the workplace. Excellent tool for data capture, processing and visualization. The application of statistical models on the data that is displayed is very useful and this is not complicated. What hooked me with this service was undoubtedly the combination of very pleasant and interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models in some cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
As I mentioned before, the use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates that lead to reinstall the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version it would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tasks that may have involved days and even weeks I solved them in a very short period of time thanks to Tableau. Information that was housed in a database, which was to explore, order and apply statistical models for analysis, which could be complex to do involving different software, was easy to do using Tableau exclusively.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, do not make it necessary to update the monthly version of the desktop in order to publish the boards online. It is tedious and annoying. I understand that this is what your business is all about, but if they do it more bearable, it would be great.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help me to visualize my data

Sleazy Sales & Poor Customer Service

  • June 04, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Overall, the product itself has given us what we need but dealing with the support has been a nightmare.

Definitely test using their trial offer. We found the integration to be fairly straightforward and were able to get up and running after only a couple of hours of work.

The product has some UI issues but is robust and functions well for our needs. If you buy, just hope that you don't have to deal with customer service or a sales rep.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our sales associate, Yassine, couldn't have been any worse. He didn't have a ton of product knowledge, would say he was going to do something and not do it and came across as a sleazy, double charging us and not sending a refund.

In general, I have just spent way too much time chasing the support team and sales team to get a response. There is zero internal communication and depending who you talk to you will be told a different answer.

Example, after our purchase we received a broken URL for our authorization code which seemed like a very minor issue but took more than a week to resolve and led to more than a month of headaches and issues.

It has been super disappointing and I would not recommend this product to anyone. The headaches far out way any advantages this product might have over other providers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Has helped us with our internal and external reporting needs.

Great for generating quick data visualizations

  • June 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop workflow makes it quick and easy to create meaningful data visualizations. Very simple to modify different things, like type of graph, type of data, etc. until you get what you need.
What do you dislike about the product?
For more complex actions, it is definitely less intuitive. Lots of training is needed to use this software effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps turn data into meaningful information through visualizations. Helps to discover different opportunities/problems.

Very user-friendly interface

  • May 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Tableau server is that it helps the concerned person a lot to read and analyze the data in a very comprehensive manner. I have even heard that it facilitates MS Excel Add ins hence reducing manual efforts. Tableau is a tool that maintains the data in the backend and provides significant insights on the front end thus helping to take appropriate decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit of time to load. Apart from this, nothing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep our eye on organic and inorganic offtake of user, their behavior and consumption patterns and more things that are related to digital marketing. All-in-one-place benefit with insightful charts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just go for it. Do consider Tableau Add ins available for MS Excel. Your way of looking at data will significantly change.

Great Data Viewer

  • May 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's ability to make data crossing with a great amount of information. You can extract exactly what you need & in the way you need. It's really versatile.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's on the pricey side. In order to get an annual subscription you need to pay a lot more than other similar software
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multidimensional tables that allowed me to cross data in order to check the monthly progress of Share of Market. I could analyze data throughout different filters and this allowed me to identify problems and areas that needed improvement. Therefore, it was a great tool to develop marketing and selling strategies.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you follow all the tutorials that the developer offers online since they are really useful and you will become a pro using the software.
